In this powerhouse episode of The Management OS Podcast, we sit down with Bob Gauvreau—one of North America’s top tax strategists and financial advisors—to unpack the real reasons businesses fail… and what the elite few do differently to survive, thrive, and scale.

📉 Did you know that 82% of businesses fail due to poor cash flow management—even when they have strong revenue and products?

Most executives and entrepreneurs focus on sales growth, but ignore the financial foundation that keeps their vision alive.

In this episode, we shatter that illusion and show you how to master your numbers like a true CEO.

Bob reveals the exact financial frameworks used by his firm (now 105+ employees strong) to support 2500+ entrepreneurs across North America—from cash flow optimization and tax efficiency to pricing power and strategic structure.

This is NOT just another money talk.

It’s a full-blown financial systems masterclass tailored for high-performing entrepreneurs and executives who want to scale with control, clarity, and confidence.

🎯 Here's what you’ll discover:

✅ Why profit ≠ cash (and why both matter to survive and scale)

✅ The 3-part financial model every business must know: revenue, variable cost, fixed expenses
✅ How to calculate and grow your gross profit margin like a CFO
✅ The myth of “spending to save on taxes”—and what to do instead

✅ The real cost of delayed receivables and how to flip your cash cycle
