“Don’t work for recognition, but do work worthy of recognition.”H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
You’re excited to get to work, building that thing you love, or creating that killer new thing-a-ma-jig; I get it. But as much as you’d like, you can’t ignore the back office. For that matter, the lines between front and back of house are blurry these days! A tight back office however, should not be seen as a necessary evil, but rather, an opportunity to support and grow the main event of the company. Just as customer support has become an opportunity to sell, so has the back office become an opportunity to grow your business.
Clean, clear, simple financial statements can show you trouble spots, and highlight opportunities, not to mention be the proverbial, bottom line. Task management, not only ensure that deliverables are delivered, but brings accountability to everybody in the organization.
