This is the song that started it all. I have written a song for each class in my MBA program at Whitworth University. This is a bluesy number :)

LYRICS!!

When valuing a company you gotta know..... cash flow
You want to know if it is profitable ... cash flow
You better calculate your NPV (Net Present Value)
If you want to invest intelligently.... cash flow

But don't forget you got a discount rate.... cash flow
The dollar made tomorrow is worth less than your dollar today
You take 1/((1+discount rate)^the number of years you have to wait)... cash flow

The CEO wants the company to grow
But it better not be more than what's sustainable... cash flow
If they retain all their equity, just estimate the ROE (return on equity)... cash flow

One last thing I say that cash is king... cash flow
So the next time that you're borrowing... cash flow
Just remember when it's time for the bank to collect on the loan
You better have the money when you answer the phone... cash flow

When valuing a company, you want to know............. cash flow

Cash Flow

This song is all about the importance of having a strong competent accountant :)

LYRICS!!

For a company to be successful they have to have all the different peices of the puzzle
And the peices work together, it's like the parts of our anatomy 
Now let me take you through it one by one

The CEO is the brain and the vision
Controlling the direction and making the decisions
The HR and management are like a nervous system
They monitor and regulate the flow of information

The product that is sold is the blood that flows 
Through the heart beat of the demand
PR is the face, marketing's the voice
And labor are the arms and hands
It's all got to work in harmony, but don't for get accounting

It's the backbone 

Now for every transaction in the company
You have to mark it down in a journal entry
To the T-account for the proper amount
And in a double entry system it all balances out

And when you increase the left side, call it a debit
When you increase the right side call, call it a credit 
Just study the formula and soon I know you'll get it
It really is important so I hope you don't forget

It's the backbone

And you take all the revenue the company made 
And you put it on the top of your income statement
You work it on down to filter in all the costs
At the bottom of the page you get your profit or loss

And you add that to your past retained earnings
The wheels of the company, they never stop turning
So go ahead and plug it in, subtract the dividends
Now you got your equity, when you move it to your balance sheet
So hey do you see what I mean how 

It's the backbone

The Backbone (Financial Accounting)

Many people don't think about the importance of a functioning HR system. It really can make all the difference in the world when you have the right employees doing the right jobs.

LYRICS!!

So you want a competitive edge?
Something that will set you apart from the rest...?
And you've tried cutting costs but something is wrong
The things you've done don't seem to be working
Well listen to me, because there just might be something you're overlooking

And you've got to keep an open mind,
It might sound a bit bizarre
But the key might be the way you manage your HR... oh yeah

(Chorus)
You've got to manage your human resources (x2)
And when it's done effectively, I'm sure that you will find
Increased productivity and a better bottom line

(Verse 2)
So take the things that your HR does
and align it to the company goal
Compensation, benefits, profromance management
Recruit the right talent and then train them
And you'll want to earn their loyalty so you can retain them
But in this ever changing world
It's so hard to know for sure what strategy is right
But just don't ever underestimate the power of human energy
And by now I hope you see....

You've got to manage you're human resources 
(if you want a competitive edge)
