## Resource

Your favorite local place has stopped taking cards. The napkins have gone thin. Something's up + you already know it. CFO Karen Gordon is back for our Red Flags strand, this time on spotting financial trouble - in the companies you buy from, the company you work for + your own. Karen knows the tells from the inside. Which small changes mean cost-cutting has started, what it means when the finance team goes quiet + why the good people always leave first. I also confess how I'm managing a software supplier I suspect might not survive the year. Look for more Red Flags episodes - they're always packed with helpful ideas.
