Consulting
Services and benefits |
- 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.
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.
