Strategy Meets Finance
Welcome to Strategy Meets Finance, the podcast for business owners and entrepreneurs who want to start, grow, and run a business that lasts.
Most business owners struggle because they treat strategy and finance as separate. But without a clear strategy, your finances won’t support long-term growth. And without strong financial planning, even the best business ideas fall flat.
On this show, we bring both sides together—so you can grow your business with confidence, improve cash flow, increase profit, and make better decisions.
Hosted by Steve Coughran, a former CFO and founder of Coltivar, each episode shares simple tools, real examples, and practical advice from working with companies of all different sizes. You’ll learn how to set smart goals, fix money leaks, build stronger teams, and create lasting value.

Margins are getting squeezed from every direction, and most companies are reacting too slowly to keep up. Often the people slowing things down are the very leaders who should be driving the change.
In this episode Steve explains why so many businesses are stuck moving slow, how a profitable income statement can still hide a business that is destroying value, and why financial visibility can be both a roadblock and a crutch. Then he walks through three fixes you can start on today, including an uncomfortable thought experiment that changes how you look at your overhead.
If your business feels like it is working harder just to stay in place, this one is for you.
