Did you miss Moore on Manufacturing last week?

One or two big customers can power a lot of growth. They can also put your cash flow, your margins and the value of your business at risk if you aren’t watching closely.

Mike Sibley and Kevin Golden walked through how to spot concentration risk before it turns into a fire. Start by knowing your exposure. Review your customer list on a trailing 12-month basis, with gross profit and contribution margin for each account. Then build a budget and forecast tied to a projected balance sheet, so you can see what longer payment terms or a sudden drop in orders would do to your working capital.

They also shared how to broaden your base without turning away good work. Your current customers are often your best source of new revenue, and a solid sales system helps you bring in new logos. Mike even described a recent deal where buyers discounted a manufacturer’s price because of heavy customer concentration.

Catch the replay on demand and see how to protect your margins and your business value.

Are you giving away free care?

Every denied claim you don’t challenge is a service you delivered and never got paid for. Even a small denial rate can add up to thousands in lost revenue every month.

The good news: you can appeal most denials, and many are winnable if you approach them the right way.

In the latest episode of The Profitable Practice, our team explains how. Start by finding the real reason for the denial instead of resubmitting blindly. Put your time into high-dollar claims with the best odds of reversal.

Follow each payer’s appeal rules exactly, because the wrong format or a missed deadline means automatic rejection. Back every appeal with clean documentation, track each one, and know when to escalate.

With persistence and the right systems, claims you’d otherwise write off can turn back into revenue.

Every denied claim you don't appeal is care you delivered for free....

Switching IT providers can feel risky, especially if you have been burned before by slow response times or advice that didn't fit your business.

Here is what working with our technology services team actually looks like: an in-person visit before you ever get a quote, a dedicated contact who knows about changes before they happen, and a full setup, security tools included, wrapped up in about 30 days.

If you are a business or financial leader weighing a new IT partner, this gives you a real look behind the curtain.

It’s Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and we’re bringing you short clips packed with practical tips from our own experts.

First up: if ransomware hit your business tomorrow, would you actually be able to recover, or would it cost you on the spot?

Tomas Sjostrom, President of James Moore Technology Services, says the first move is immutable backups. It sounds technical, but it does not have to be. At its simplest, it means getting your data onto removable media and taking that media off your network, so ransomware cannot touch it. From there, you can build more sophisticated processes around it.

The second priority: multi-factor authentication. Together, these two steps form the foundation of real ransomware resilience.

Watch the clip below to hear Tomas break it down.

Ever notice banks seem most willing to lend when you don't actually need the money? Mike Sibley breaks down why that's worth paying attention to in this clip from Moore on Manufacturing.

Setting up a line of credit before you need it means you're not scrambling when cash gets tight or a big opportunity shows up. It's one of the simplest ways manufacturers can stay ready for whatever comes next.

We are heading to Wild Dunes tomorrow for the 2026 Southeastern Association of Community Action Agencies (SEACAA) Annual Conference, and Andrew Ferguson, Amy Dorn and Becca Gilbert will be there for our nonprofit team.

Community Action work runs on funding that has to be tracked, allocated and defended. Uniform Guidance requirements, indirect cost rates, restricted fund tracking and the reports a board needs to make real decisions: all of it lands on finance teams that are usually smaller than the workload.

Andrew and Amy are presenting on Uniform Guidance during the conference. If federal award compliance is the thing keeping your finance team up at night, that session is worth the seat.

The rest of the week, come find our team between sessions. We want to hear what your agency is working through heading into the next funding year, whether that is single audit prep, cost allocation or getting cleaner numbers in front of your board.

October 13 to 16, Isle of Palms, SC.

It's Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and we have a question for business owners: who actually owns cyber risk at your company?

If the answer is "IT handles it," you might be missing the bigger picture. The latest Verizon Data Breach report found that exploited software vulnerabilities have overtaken stolen passwords as the top way attackers break in, and breaches tied to vendors are up 60% in a year. For smaller businesses, the median breach cost now sits around $38,000, and the worst cases can eat into 7% of annual revenue.

Our team put together 10 questions every business leader should be asking, from how fast you patch vulnerabilities to whether your backups actually work when tested.

Ten cybersecurity questions for business leaders on patching, vendors, employee AI use, recovery and cyber insurance.

Nearly $6 million in ACA penalties saved for our clients.

Our HR Solutions team has now worked through 61 IRS penalty letters across nine tax years. Together, those letters proposed $6,581,000 in penalties. Our clients have avoided $5.9 million of it. That’s nearly 90% of the proposed penalties they didn’t have to pay.

ACA penalty notices can come with intimidating numbers, but the amount on the letter isn’t always what you owe.

Reporting errors, employee-count issues and incorrect coding can all affect an assessment. That’s why it pays to review the details before writing the check.
