When nobody is translating your numbers, decisions get made on feel.
You have a bookkeeper. You have a CPA. The bookkeeper records what happened. The CPA files what’s due. But nobody is connecting those numbers to what you should do next.
That gap is not invisible. It shows up in the tax bill that arrives after the window to reduce it has already closed. It shows up in the cash flow squeeze that nobody flagged coming.
That is not a rare story.
