Are you a business owner, entrepreneur, or non-profit leader who feels like you're doing everything right—but the money's still just slipping away? It might be time to hire a fractional CFO! In this episode of Cut to the Chase: Podcast, Gregg is joined by Robert Sepulveda—Founder of XPLR Financial Services—a South Florida-based firm offering part-time CFO services designed to streamline your financial operations, providing peace of mind and strategic insights for entrepreneurs. Robert has a unique integrated approach—combining financial expertise with coaching that tackles the human (and sometimes messy) reality behind the numbers. Tune in to learn how personal habits and beliefs can silently sabotage (or supercharge) your business's finances, the top places small businesses lose money, and how a fractional CFO's outside expertise makes all the operational difference. Whether you're an entrepreneur, non-profit leader, or aspiring CFO, you'll walk away with top-notch strategies for greater clarity and scaling success. What you'll learn in this episode: Why even successful businesses and entrepreneurs lose track of cash flow The new wave of fractional CFOs: What they do, how they help, and who benefits most How personal patterns and unresolved issues impact business performance and client service The difference between coaching that works for law firms vs. standard business advice Men's and mastermind groups as a unique model for developing legal leaders Biggest financial leaks for small businesses, from marketing overflow to poor client selection AI, privacy, and evolving legal operations: How forward-thinking firms can scale mindfully Financial lessons entrepreneurs can learn from nonprofits When and how startups and new founders should engage with fractional finance and coaching support Key Takeaways: Clarity is Everything: Regular, organized financial reporting and analysis helps businesses identify where money is made—and lost—before annual reviews or tax season. Know Your Client Numbers: Get clear on client acquisition costs and lifetime value, and evaluate which cases or clients are truly your most profitable—don't fall into the “busy but broke” trap. Personal Habits = Business Impact: Unexamined personal or team behaviors often echo into firm operations and culture; addressing these can unlock greater productivity and profit. Embrace Outside Expertise: A fractional CFO brings specialized knowledge without the overhead of a full-time hire—valuable for growing and medium-sized businesses needing next-level financial insight. Take Inspiration From Non-Profits: Even if you're a for-profit business, operating with nonprofit-like transparency and sustainability can help weather industry changes and funding shifts.

“How do I know if investing in automation is worth it?” This was a question someone asked me after my talk at Podfest. And it's a fair question. We don't want to waste time and money on something that won't pay off.So in today's episode, I tell you exactly how to know if automation and delegation are worth the investment.Top TakeawaysUnderstand Opportunity Cost: Opportunity cost is the value of what you give up when choosing one activity over another. For solopreneurs, this often means the lost income or time that could be spent on billable work.Automation Rule of Thumb: Automate repetitive tasks you've done at least three times and that require consistent inputs and outputs. But do the task manually first to ensure automation makes sense.Take Small Risks for Big Gains: Test delegation by hiring a VA or outsourcing small tasks. Even $50/week can help you reclaim time to avoid burnout or spend with family.Show NotesWhy You're Losing Money when You Mow the LawnSend feedback to StreamlinedFeedback.com ★ Support this podcast ★
