## Resource

Richard Boyd explains why developers cannot treat accounting as a tax-season cleanup chore when cash flow, capital structure, debt service, and project costs decide whether a deal survives. He shares the story of a $16M real estate investor whose growth looked strong until a market shift forced painful inventory sales and exposed missing financial controls.
