About Own the P&L

If you’re responsible for the numbers but were never formally trained in finance, this podcast is for you. This is a weekly podcast designed for COOs and Integrators who are looking for strategies to drive future financial clarity in their businesses. Hosted by John Marshall, a fractional CFO, the goal is simple: make finance practical, clear, and actionable for operators. Each episode breaks down what you actually need to understand to manage the P&L with confidence, from budgeting and forecasting to cash flow and decision-making. Every other week, John is joined by COOs and Integrators to talk through real scenarios, challenges, and how finance shows up inside the business. On alternating weeks, John shares short, focused solo episodes to teach key financial concepts you can immediately apply.
