Making more money does not always mean feeling financially secure. In this episode of The Seven Figure Builder Show, Juli sits down with Nancy Benet, founder of Fix It Accounting, to talk about cash flow, tax strategy, profitability, and what it really takes to create financial freedom as a business owner. Nancy’s perspective comes from hard-earned experience. At 45, after five failed businesses, she found herself divorced, raising four children, without an income, and $650,000 in debt. That turning point forced her to rethink everything she believed about money, business, and financial security.

Today, Nancy runs a successful CPA firm and helps entrepreneurs turn financial chaos into clarity, confidence, and smarter decisions. In this conversation, she shares the “new zero” strategy she used to build meaningful cash reserves, explains why keeping cash in your business can create more opportunities for growth, and breaks down the lifestyle inflation trap that can put even successful entrepreneurs under financial pressure. She also discusses why trying to avoid taxes at all costs can backfire, how to think more strategically about tax planning and investments, and why many of our money decisions are more emotional than mathematical.

Whether you are working toward your first seven figures or already running a successful company, this episode will challenge you to think differently about cash flow, profitability, business growth, and financial freedom. Nancy also shares her four-step process for creating intentional change and explains why entrepreneurs do not have to follow traditional rules to build a successful business. Because building a seven-figure business is not just about how much money you make. It is about how much freedom, control, and peace of mind your business gives you.
