About Mike Milan
MEET CASH FLOW MIKE
From Cash Flow Crisis to Cash Flow Coach
After scaling a fast-growing business, I hit a wall: we looked successful on paper but didn’t have enough cash to make payroll. I maxed out credit cards and took out a home equity loan just to survive. That wake-up call drove me to master cash flow — not just for myself, but to teach others how to avoid the same mistakes.
Today, I help accountants, bookkeepers, and fractional CFOs become indispensable advisors. With the Clear Path to Cash system, you’ll gain proven tools and training to find hidden cash, improve client value, and eliminate cash flow as a reason for business failure — all without adding hours to your workload.
I wrote a book about…
How business owners and their advisors can maximize cash in any given business situation.
Most people don’t understand how to use their financial statements to make decisions for their businesses. I call it being D.U.M.B. It doesn’t mean they are unintelligent—it means I Don’t Understand My Business. Trust me, I was D.U.M.B. when I first started out over 20 years ago.
In 8 simple lessons, you will learn concepts that you can put into action the minute you read the chapter. This book is a step-by-step resource for analyzing your business and turning ratios into actions.

I have known Mike for several years, but did not really understand his depth of knowledge on "cash flow" and business financing until I had him as a guest on my podcast and on a couple of webinars. He's a great teacher and very knowledgeable on the topic. I guess that's why he's "Cash Flow Mike"!
Gary Dehart
