Between Christmas and New Year, business often slows to a gentler rhythm.
There is space to think and breathe.
For many founders, there is finally time to look at the numbers that usually sit on the back burner.
This year we decided to share a Christmas gift with you.
Twelve short but very useful clips from our webinars.
Twelve moments that give founders more clarity, more confidence and a much better sense of what is really going on in their business.
We are sharing each one on LinkedIn between Christmas Day and 5 January but if you would prefer to have them all in one place, here is the complete collection. Dip in and out whenever you fancy a quiet moment with a cup of something warm.
These are the twelve money moments we picked and why they matter to your business.
Seeing the real story behind profit
- Why metrics matter most when the tide goes out
From: KPIs for SaaS with Roda
Best for founders who want to avoid surprises
This clip explains why growth can hide problems and why strong metrics are the only way to know what is really happening behind the scenes. A simple moment with a very lasting message.
- The suspense account red flag
From: Why Your Business Isn’t as Profitable as You Think
Best for founders who want an early warning sign something is off
A clear, accessible explanation of what a suspense account is and why its presence should make founders pause. One of those simple checks that can reveal issues hiding behind an apparently healthy P&L.
- The pricing surprise founders never expect
From: The Numbers That Matter
Best for founders feeling nervous about raising prices
This is the moment that makes people stop. A ten percent price increase can absorb losing a quarter of your customers and still protect your net profit. A small insight with big impact.
- The discounting trap that destroys profit
From: Is Your EBITDA a Bit Under Par?
Best for founders who discount to win work.
A clear walk through why a thirty percent discount is rarely worth it and how it quietly erodes the health of your business. Perfect timing for anyone planning their pricing strategy for the new year.
Cash, working capital and staying out of trouble
- The 30 day versus 90 day cash flow shock
From: Financial Health 101 with Eleanor Antonio
Best for founders who want to understand why “profitable” businesses still run out of cash.
Eleanor walks through a simple example showing how payment terms transform your cash needs almost overnight. It is one of those insights that stays with you long after you hear it.
- Why growth can hurt cash far more than decline
From: Balance Sheet Bootcamp with Ramzi
Best for founders in a fast growing phase
A surprising insight that explains why cash pressure appears at the very moment things seem to be going well. Essential for scaling businesses.
- Why you sometimes need to slow down sales
From: Ecommerce Fundamentals with Michael Anthony
Best for product based businesses
Counterintuitive but true. Selling too fast on ecommerce platforms can damage your rankings, limit replenishment and create long term problems. A brilliant moment for anyone in the product world.
Funding, investors and valuation
- What investors actually look for in a business
From: FW Capital Funding with Ben Donati
Best for founders considering raising capital in 2026
A clear, practical explanation of the core things funders look for when reading your accounts. It feels like insider knowledge because it is.
- Covenants versus KPIs (and why the difference matters)
From: Understanding Funding Options with Liane Livingstone
Best for founders who borrow or plan to borrow
This clip saves people from expensive mistakes. A covenant breach can cost time, money and peace of mind. Liane explains the difference beautifully.
People, leadership and decision making
- External accountant vs Finance Director
From: Built to Scale, Ready to Exit with Jeremy French
Best for founders thinking about valuation
At some point, most founders ask the same question.
They already have an accountant, so what would a Finance Director really add?
In this clip, Jeremy explains the difference in a practical, non critical way.
External accountants focus on accuracy, compliance and reporting.
Finance Directors focus on interpretation, challenge and helping founders decide what to do next.
It is a subtle distinction.
But one that makes a huge difference as a business grows and decisions become more complex.
- Why attitude matters more than sector experience
From: Essential Strategies for Hiring Top Talent with Oliver Parker
Best for founders hiring senior roles in 2026
A thoughtful discussion about why curiosity, humility and learning mindset often matter more than having done the same job in the same sector before. A reassuring clip for founders worried about finding the “perfect” background.
- What to do the moment something feels wrong
From: Hero to Zero with Matthew Young
Best for founders navigating uncertainty
Matthew explains why dread is data. Trusting your instinct early can save you time, money and sometimes your entire business. A powerful note to end on.
