Why Historical Tracking Matters, and Why Spreadsheets Fall Short “How many units did we open last year?” “When did that franchise transfer happen?” If your only record is a spreadsheet, these simple questions can be surprisingly hard to answer. Spreadsheets struggle with history because: • They often overwrite old data when new entries are added. • Tracking ownership changes, relocations, or closures requires multiple files. • Without diligent backups, past records are simply lost. In an industry where history shapes future decisions, spreadsheets can’t keep up. Operators need tools that preserve the past as well as track the present. 👉 That’s exactly where UnitTrak can step in, providing a reliable record of every unit’s journey.

“What we do when a publisher brings us messy accounts” A new client once handed us: – three half-finished P&Ls – unlinked royalty trackers – sales reports from four platforms – and a shoebox of expenses (digitally speaking). They were successful. But they were in chaos. So we: – rebuilt the data structure – reconciled sales and royalty flows – linked platform reports to financials – and created a single source of truth. That’s the power of a Virtual Finance Office that gets the industry. We don’t judge. We just sort it. #PublishingSupport #FinanceCleanUp #RoyaltyTracking #VirtualFinanceOffice #FinanceWithMargrave

Financial plans shouldn’t be one-size-fits-all. When you get a suit, you get it tailored — not something off the rack. Yet most financial planning software still relies on rigid inputs and canned outputs. That’s not real personalization. At Wavvest, we’re changing that. Every plan is built around the client’s actual life — flexible, detailed, and actionable. No more static templates or vague recommendations. True planning should fit the client, not the software.

What’s one of the biggest silent profit killers I see? ➡️ Untracked time. The time your team spends on things like: 🗂️ General time — admin, meetings, training, etc. 🧾 Admin adjustments — internal corrections or tweaks not billed to clients 🧩 Reworking deliverables ⚙️ Warranty work or internal fixes —all those unbilled hours quietly add up. And when they’re not tracked or visible in your data, they silently erode your margins. Through the Profit Clarity Method™, I help service-based businesses uncover where time leaks turn into money leaks — and fix them before they scale. Because profit protection starts with time clarity.
