Welcome to my newsletter “Behind the Numbers”.

A fortnightly newsletter where I share my Finance tips for Operational Leaders and their teams. I may also share an interesting sporting stat along the way.

For those of you who know my story you’ll get why numbers and sport are so much part of who I am.

How you can remove your budget blind spots 

Budget band-aids are like red flags. They are used by your people to cover up financial “sore-spots”. As well as budget “blind-spots”.

Working with operational leaders and their teams, I have seen five common budget band-aids used across a wide range of organisations and industries:

#1 The Budget Buffer

#2 The Budget Bombshell

#3 The Budget Balancing Act

#4 The Budget Bump

#5 The Budget Bucket

Be aware of what they are and how you can remove them.

I have put together a guide to help you with this.

You can download it here.

One sporting stat

The United States is the world’s most lucrative sports market. The NFL (American Football / Gridiron) brings in more annual revenue ($US 20 billion) than the soccer leagues for England, Spain, Germany Italy, and France combined ($US 19 billion), despite having a significantly smaller fan base across the world.
