Are you a law firm owner who is looking for some advice when it comes to the company’s finances? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer podcast, Tyson Mutrux engages in a thought-provoking discussion with Brian Feroldi, a seasoned expert in stock picking and financial statement analysis. The conversation centers around the importance of understanding financial statements and how this knowledge can be particularly beneficial for law firm owners.
Brian delves into the importance of financial education for those in the legal field. For law firm owners, it is important to understand how to create financial statements and what it means for a business as it relates to determining success. Determining success can be done by analyzing financial statements and finding out how much profit a company is making, the direction of their financial results and the balance of cash and liabilities. For those who are thinking about acquiring a business, these factors are important to think about.
Scaling a law firm needs to be done strategically or else it can fail. The more successful a law firm is, the more cash they will eat. That is why many firms need lines of credit, because the access to cash in the bank is not always readily available. For firms to stay afloat, owners need to balance growth with having the cash to support it.
