Small business

The Challenge

The founder had never had an independent financial analysis of the business. No formal valuation had been done, and the working capital position had not been reviewed against available options. The owner needed clarity — not a consultant, not an advisor. A clear-eyed read of the numbers.

What We Did

  • Analyzed the most recent financial statements across income, balance sheet, and cash flow
  • Developed a business valuation range estimate based on earnings and asset position
  • Identified a working capital adjustment opportunity the owner had not previously considered
  • Presented findings in plain language with a clear recommended action — no implementation required

Small business

The Challenge

A construction business owner was dealing with stalled growth, an underperforming web presence, and an unresolved working capital recovery situation. A third-party firm had quoted $20,000 to pursue the recovery. The owner needed a structured path forward — not another expensive engagement.

What We Did

  • Redesigned the web presence with a focus on driving inbound engagement — results exceeded expectations
  • Analyzed the working capital recovery situation and structured a direct resolution approach
  • Identified a legal path that bypassed the high-cost recovery firm entirely
  • Coached the owner through the process — decision-making, documentation, and execution

Accounting Systems
Non-Profit
4 weeks
Small organization

The Challenge

No accounting system in place. Financial records were unstructured, bank and credit card activity was not timely reconciled, and the part-time team had processes that were not scalable.

What We Did

  • Launched an online digital accounting solution and built a structured chart of accounts from the ground up
  • Connected bank and credit card feeds with rule sets built alongside the team
  • Automated thousands of journal entries using batch processing and rule-based categorization
  • Trained the part-time team on every process — close, reconciliation, and reporting

Multi-location operator

The Challenge

An eight-location retail operator had no consolidated view of performance. Each location reported separately, comparisons were done manually in Excel, and leadership was making expansion decisions without reliable margin data by location.

What We Did

  • Designed a KPI hierarchy with the leadership team — 12 metrics selected from 40+ candidates
  • Built a consolidated performance dashboard pulling live data from all eight locations
  • Created role-based views: executive summary, location manager, and finance detail
  • Automated weekly distribution with variance commentary template

Multi-entity practice group

The Challenge

A healthcare services group had grown through acquisition but had no integrated financial planning process. Each entity reported independently, there was no consolidated forecast, and the CFO had no visibility into margin by service line.

What We Did

  • Conducted a full operational and financial diagnostic across all three entities
  • Built a consolidated rolling 12-month forecast model with entity-level and group-level views
  • Designed a margin analysis framework by service line, payer mix, and location
  • Implemented a monthly business review cadence with standardized reporting templates

Illustrative engagement — representative of outcomes achieved using this methodology across 30 years of enterprise operating experience.
