The System for Everything

28: The System for Getting Out of Feast-or-Famine Finances with Geily Romero

Julie Fried, Business & Systems Strategist

If your finances feel like a rollercoaster, it’s time to stop screaming and start steering. You’re not alone if your business bank account swings from dopamine highs to devastating lows. One month you're flush with client payments, the next you’re wondering if Stripe has ghosted you. The feast or famine cycle is a real (and exhausting) part of entrepreneurship, especially for creatives and service providers.

In this episode, we're joined by fractional CFO and financial consultant Geily Romero to unpack why this happens and how we can build systems to stabilize our cash flow without burning out. Geily has spent nearly a decade helping service-based entrepreneurs stop guessing and start growing with intentional, sustainable financial strategies.

In this Episode:

  • Why revenue ≠ profit and how to actually start paying yourself consistently
  • A dead-simple system to assign every dollar a job and stop reacting to your bank balance
  • The exact habits Geily recommends to start building a financial cushion, even in slow seasons
