This week on the UFD podcast I’m joined by UFD Client Richard Evans.
Richard is the founder of Vavavoom and he has been in the property investment game for over 30 years. His journey from corporate life to entrepreneurship is fascinating - he's managed to blend his property expertise with his business acumen to build Vavavoom, which specialises in recruiting and placing virtual assistants from the Philippines.
Richard's approach to business is all about systemisation - combining the right software, processes, and talented people. This trio is what he credits for his success in scaling businesses effectively.
We dove deep into how financial oversight becomes increasingly critical as businesses grow. Richard shared how he transformed financial reporting from something that felt like a chore into a strategic advantage that has improved his margins and profits 💸
For those looking to scale their businesses, Richard's insights on the importance of having the right people in defined roles, supported by solid processes and technology, are absolutely gold. He shares how maintaining financial discipline and avoiding impulse spending has helped him navigate growth periods successfully.
If you're a business leader looking to scale, this episode offers practical advice on using financial strategy as your roadmap to success. Richard's combination of property investment knowledge and his experience building Vavavoom provides a unique perspective that I think you'll find incredibly valuable.
