Spring has officially sprung and for most of us, that means (you guessed it!) spring cleaning! If you have a pile of laundry waiting for you to scrub, suds, fluff, and fold, you're not alone. In the U.S., 660 million laundry loads are washed every week, totaling a whopping 35 billion loads each year. But, have you ever considered what's lurking in your laundry detergent? Could your laundry detergent be toxic to your health and the environment (hint: yes). From phosphates and dyes to synthetic surfactants, optical brighteners, parabens, synthetic fragrances, and chlorine, your conventional laundry detergent brand is likely exposing you and your family to a host of toxic chemicals, allergens, respiratory irritants, hormone disruptors, and maybe even a cancer-causing chemical. Not to mention the plastic waste that your laundry jug is adding to landfills. To add fuel to the laundry jug fire, this plastic can take more than 100 years to break down. But the environmental buck doesn't stop there. Laundry detergent is a major source of microplastic pollution, with a single load releasing up to 700,000 microplastic fibers into the water. Yikes! Our guest, Anita Spiller, leads ESG for Tru Earth, a Certified B Corp global household cleaning product company, Anita focuses on eliminating household single-use plastics, battling microplastics, and donating earth-friendly products to organizations in need.

OPTIMIZING RELATIONSHIPS WITH BOARD INVESTORS In the world of business, it's crucial to ensure that board investors are knowledgeable about the company's financial status without getting too deep into the details. This delicate balance can be achieved through effective financial reporting and communication. By providing board investors with accurate and relevant information, companies can build trust and confidence, ultimately optimizing the relationship for successful business deals. There is great significance of showing acquirers that the company knows how to budget and stick to a budget, as well as demonstrating the ability to meet projections and expectations. Transparency is necessary here, as well as financial discipline and strategic goal setting to optimize relationships with board investors. IMPACT OF FINANCIAL PREPARATION ON COMPANY VALUATIONThere are several key factors that impact a company's valuation: Proper financial preparation (including budgeting, system analysis, and EBITDA evaluation) Having clean and accurate bookkeeping Understanding tax exposure Optimizing financial and operational systems By demonstrating a strong understanding of financial metrics and implementing best practices, businesses can increase their profitability and overall value. Additionally, addressing governance and cleanup issues through meticulous financial preparation can mitigate concerns during due diligence processes, positively impacting potential deals and investments. On the contrary, there are deal-killing consequences of not having proper financial records. This is where having a strong CFO comes in. They will provide financial analysis, strategic planning, and have governance to optimize margins, streamline operations, and prepare the company for growth and potential sale. LEVERAGING FINANCIAL SERVICES FOR GROWTH AND FREEDOMEngaging financial services, such as CFO support, bookkeeping, and financial analysis, can empower entrepreneurs to make informed decisions and drive business growth. These services not only ensure compliance with government regulations but also provide strategic insights for optimizing business operations, identifying growth opportunities, and achieving financial freedom. By leveraging financial expertise, entrepreneurs can navigate deals, acquisitions, and capital raises with confidence and efficiency. The meticulous preparation and reporting of financial information are critical components of successful business deals, valuations, and overall business growth. By prioritizing financial transparency, leveraging professional financial services, and maintaining a strategic focus, companies can optimize relationships with investors, enhance their valuation, and ultimately achieve greater freedom and success in the business world. • • • For my full discussion with Matt Putra, and more on this topic and topics not featured on this blog post:Listen to the Full DealQuest Podcast Episode Here• • • FOR MORE ON MATT PUTRA:https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattputra/https://eightx.co Corey Kupfer is an expert strategist, negotiator, and dealmaker.

How many days does your ecommerce business take to convert sales into cash?  Cash is everything for ecommerce businesses. Sales are essential, but cash management is even more important for long-term health. Many young companies neglect this aspect and suffer in the long run, leaving potential growth on the table or burning out. A handful of incredible tips can help online brands shorten their CCC. Guillaume Le Tual again joins Matt Putra, a Fractional CFO at EightX, to discuss CCC in-depth and what ecommerce businesses should improve about their process. They dive into the four steps Matt suggests for brands, why the subject matters so much, and how even small changes can make massive differences. They also go through inventory pricing and adding more value on the back end.

In this episode of the Ecommerce Wizards Podcast, Guillaume Le Tual speaks with Matt Putra, a Fractional CFO at EightX, about properly structuring your finances as an ecommerce company.

Brad Liski is a social entrepreneur and the CEO of British Columbia-based Tru Earth, a global household cleaning product company focused on biodegradability and the elimination of single-use plastic waste.  In 2022, Tru Earth partnered with Ocean Wise to launch the American Shoreline Clean-up Program.   Brad was recently named a Sustainability Leader by Canada's Clean50 for 2022. Other awards Brad and Tru Earth have received include B.C.'s CEO of the year, B.C.'s Top Exporter of the Year, and Best Eco-Friendly Household Product Company 2022.   To learn more about the TruEarthMovement, go to tru.earth.   In this episode we discuss: ●      The most sustainable innovation in laundry detergent (ever) ●      Why Tru Earth manufacturers in North America ●      Tru Earth's secret for attracting top talent ●      The recipe behind Tru Earth's record 4-year growth     Key Takeaways: When you create a product that aligns with consumer values, makes life easier, and fixes a market need for both consumers and retailers, magic happens. The market rewards smart solutions, and we need more smart solutions like Tru Earth's eco-strips across industries. What we measure shows what we value. Brad talked about the two main metrics that Tru Earth uses to measure success: 1) how many plastic bottles Tru Earth has eliminated from shelves, homes, and ultimately landfills; and 2) how many loads of laundry they've donated. These metrics have incredible power because they are meaningful. These metrics are a reason to get out of bed in the morning, a reason to innovate new solutions, and a reason for employees to engage deeply with work. What are you measuring at work? We sell our potential short when we set our sights too low. Focusing only on extrinsic metrics, like revenue and market share, is setting your sights too low. But when you tap into someone's intrinsic desire to make a difference, when your metrics show a deep meaning for why your company exists in the world, you unleash a force more powerful than anything found in a traditional business model. Recycling plastic is not going to solve our plastic waste problem. Only 5% of plastic is recycled, which means 95% of plastic—year after year—ends up in landfills,  polluting our waters, or being incinerated (which hurts our air).  This is a call to action for changemakers across industries to innovate solutions that eliminate plastic, especially single-use plastic. This type of innovation is not only important and meaningful, but it can also be incredibly profitable.    References: ●      Tru Earth ●      You can learn more about polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and its use in dishwashing detergent pods here. ●      The Greenpeace report on plastic recycling can be read here. ●      Ocean Wise ○      Shoreline Cleanup conservation program ●      entrepreneurship@UBC   Connect & Share: If you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?
