Hello. I’m Yasui, the president of a one-person company mainly engaged in inspections of high-pressure gas facilities.
Let’s communicate, make an effort to understand each other, and move in a better direction together.
That applies to families as well as companies.
Talk. Put things into words. Communicate. Try to understand.
Let’s keep at it.
We may soon secure a large project.
For a small company without abundant cash reserves, cash flow is literally our lifeline.
If we’re not strict about it, simply having work isn’t enough. A company can be profitable on paper and still go bankrupt.
Projects with long construction periods, large upfront payments, or long gaps between completion and cash collection—
if these overlap, we can easily run into a cash shortage. That’s something we must be very careful about.
If employees are to work freely and confidently, then my job as president is to manage cash flow.
Above all, I must prevent funds from running dry.
I’m truly grateful for the work that gets brought in, and I don’t want to waste or diminish that effort.
However, I do see areas that need improvement. We need to communicate, double-check, and carry out careful, mistake-free work.
Projects involving material orders are especially risky.
The moment a mistake occurs, it becomes a liability.
These aren’t frequently ordered items, and if we make an error with something like certified valves that have expiration limits before use, the damage can be significant—often very expensive.
From an employee’s perspective, it may just seem like “company money.”
But fundamentally, a workflow that allows mistakes to happen in the first place is the real problem.
We should make every effort to confirm details, ask questions, and proceed with extreme care.
Managing cash flow is an essential responsibility.
But from another perspective, preventing unnecessary cash flow strain in the first place is also an important job.
Interest rates are rising, so if something can be managed internally without borrowing, that’s the wiser choice.
Cash is powerful. It’s easy to see why people say, “Cash is king.”
It’s been a tough stretch, but the slow season is ending and things are about to get busy again.
I want us to reform our mindset and do great work together.
Our 11th fiscal year ends tomorrow.
Thank you very much for your support this past year.
We truly appreciate it.
Please look forward to what’s next in the coming term.
Thank you for reading.
See you next time.
