Many small business and Startup owners focus on increasing sales but lose sight of costs, which can hurt profitability. Controlling both revenue and expenses is key to keeping your business healthy and growing.
I’m Alex Villicana, and with 20+ years in corporate finance, I help entrepreneurs simplify revenue and cost management to make smarter decisions and improve profitability.
Revenue and Cost Controls
1. Track Revenue Consistently

- Quick tip: Review monthly expenses and identify areas where you can reduce unnecessary spending.
3. Compare Revenue vs. Costs Regularly

- Quick tip: Even a basic budget helps you make better decisions and avoid overspending.
5. Monitor Key Metrics
- Simple metrics like gross margin, cash flow, and monthly profit help you see the health of your business quickly.
