I don’t want my readers to think what I have talked about with a business having bad numbers only applies to a small business because that is not the case. Of the seven businesses I mentioned, they range from businesses that are generating between $1,000,000 a year to $6,000,000 a year in income. And surprisingly, all of these businesses had either an accountant or a CPA that worked with each of the businesses, and yet their books and records were all messed up. And for all of you who are old enough to remember Gomer Pyle from “The Andy Griffith Show,” then you can hear him saying, “Surprise, surprise, surprise!”

The moral of this story is don’t be a Gomer and make sure you have clean numbers that can be traced back to each location, and we can prove where the money is coming from, and you will always get top dollar for your business. P.S. The author of this article is guilty of not keeping good books and records, too, and if you read my book, “Hidden Wealth,” you will see where I had to pay Arthur Andersen $400,000.00 to clean up my books before going public, and yes, I had to give the buyer a discount. Ugh! –Terry Monroe
