Why am I not making more money?
This week on Scale Up Confessions, Rob tackles a familiar founder problem: the business is growing, the team is busier than ever, but the profit is not following. Responding to a confession from Martin, who runs a 70-person commercial fire protection business, Rob looks at where profit can disappear as a company scales and shares three practical ways to get back on track, from tightening up the fundamentals of EOS to improving financial awareness across the team.
