Consulting Services and benefits

Summary of services and benefits I can deliver for you:

  • Help you take control of your cash flow.
  • Implement a tool that provides a crystal clear view into the true cash flow of your business. I use a unique and extremely powerful 2-page schedule that shows you exactly what’s going on with your cash flow. This schedule provides the kind of insight and understanding the traditional cash flow statement can’t.
  • Create earnings and cash flow projections you can trust.
  • Provide insight into what’s going on “behind the numbers”. This is the key to effective, confident, and profitable decision making.
  • Identify areas where cash is being “trapped” on your balance sheet. Then identify strategies to turn those assets back into cash.
  • Identify ways to reduce costs in order to create more cash.
  • Develop and implement strategies for restructuring debt successfully when the cooperation of a lender is required to solve a cash flow problem.
  • Create an analysis to reveal profit or loss down to the product or service level. Almost every company has a number of products or services that actually lose money, but they can’t see it on the face of the financial statements.
     
  • Litigation support.
     
  • Bring a CFO perspective to a company that does not have a seasoned financial executive in place.
     

  • Provide information to investors and lenders about a company so they can evaluate management, an acquisition, or other transaction.

 

Seminars and speaking

I do a number of speaking engagements each year for business related conventions or meetings.

In my presentation, I cut through all the complicated and confusing accounting and financial concepts business owners typically hear from CPAs and accountants and give your audience a very simple, easy-to-understand, step-by-step guide for taking control of their cash flow.

 

cash flow coaching and mentoring

This is a service for clients who want me to be available for monthly phone or in-person reviews, discussions, counsel, etc. regarding their new approach to taking control of their cash flow.

Oftentimes this service is valuable for a business owner who has the Peace of Mind schedule (the cash flow projections schedule I teach in the book) up and running but wants to have me available to discuss the schedule each month and review tips and strategies for maximizing cash flow.

 

Depth of Business Experience

Ten years as the CFO of a national franchise company and twenty years of finance, senior management, and accounting experience including six years in public accounting, start-up operations, an IPO on the NYSE, involvement in 28 acquisitions, sale of 2 companies, integration of acquisitions, implementation of new accounting systems, experience in both small and large organizations and experience in rapid growth environments.

My specific focus in my consulting practice is on helping business owners take control of the cash flow of your business.

Cash flow problems lead to more business failures (both small and large businesses) than almost any other single factor. It’s amazing how much easier it is to manage and grow your company when you discover the secret to taking control of your cash flow. 

I can help you take control of your cash flow.
