The No-BS Financial Playbook for Small Business CEOs

Stop Guessing, Start Growing: How to Create a Scalable and Valuable Company

By William Lieberman & Amy Wright

Are You Making These Costly Financial Mistakes?

  • Flying by the seat of your pants without proper cash flow forecasting
  • Hitting growth plateaus because your financial infrastructure can’t scale
  • Missing out on opportunities because you don’t know if you can afford them
  • Struggling to raise capital due to messy financials and poor reporting
  • Leaving money on the table with inefficient tax strategies

If any of these sound familiar, you’re not alone. Most CEOs are brilliant at sales, product development, and operations—but finance isn’t their strength.

What if You Could Master Finance Without Becoming an Accountant?

Imagine having the financial confidence to:

  • Make strategic decisions backed by solid data, not gut feelings
  • Scale efficiently with financial infrastructure that grows with you
  • Attract investors with clean books and compelling growth stories
  • Maximize profitability through better cash flow and cost management
  • Avoid the financial landmines that derail promising businesses

This isn’t wishful thinking. It’s what happens when CEOs get the right financial foundation.

Introducing “The No-BS Financial Playbook”

Written by William Lieberman, a serial entrepreneur with 30+ years of experience building, scaling, and successfully exiting businesses.

This Isn’t Theory. These Are Battle-Tested Strategies.
