How to start a slow business 5 – Manage your money from the beginning

There is a collection of interviews between Mr. Shigesato Itoi and Mr. Yonghan Qiu. I picked it up. So that I don't have to think about it properly, I just put it away that if I spend less than I earn, I'll be fine.

But when it comes to running a business, it's a different story. Anyway, let's do the accounting properly from the first day. If you think you're not good at it like I am, let's get someone who can do it. I was really lucky to have Tokuko who is good at being precise.

Even if you start hiring people and have someone do your accounting, you have to manage your money yourself. If you neglect this, you will be sad when you don't expect it. I have seen many such cases. If you can't do that, I don't think it's suitable for doing business by yourself. Of course, most people will say that they have no intention of starting such a big company. But we didn't even think about doing a company.

Thanks to the fact that I have been doing accounting properly since the time amirisu was launched, when I registered the company and went to the bank, I already had the financial statements for the first half of the term.

I think I'll talk about the division of roles at another time, but when it comes to amirisu, I don't do detailed cost calculations or write business plans (because I was doing consulting anyway) You can. What I can't do is budget properly, pay by the due date, and think about what to do if it's not enough. I'm a person who has been here for 20 years because ``I can do anything if I have extra money.'' So, if I hadn't met Tokuko, I don't think I would have run the company. Or if Mr. Tokuko was not good at it, amirisu wouldn't have become a company.

We complement each other's abilities at such a detailed level. In that sense, I am grateful that the two of us started the company together.
