Subscribe and join the conversation as we unpack what worked, what didn’t, and what you can apply next.

From Cash Flow Chaos to Confident Operations

We started with a comprehensive diagnostic covering the cash conversion cycle, receivables aging, vendor terms, and SKU profitability. By mapping people, processes, and systems, we uncovered hidden leakage points and misaligned incentives that had quietly starved the business of liquidity for months.

Pricing Strategy That Lifted Margins Without Losing Customers

Combining cohort analysis with customer interviews, we isolated features driving renewals and expansion. Segmentation clarified economic buyers versus daily users, while sensitivity tests revealed price fences that protected budget-conscious segments without discounting the product’s strongest value propositions.

Pricing Strategy That Lifted Margins Without Losing Customers

We restructured packaging into outcome-oriented tiers and introduced usage-based elements for heavy adopters. Transparent add-ons reduced discounting pressure and made enterprise negotiations about measurable gains, not line-item costs, while analytics tracked post-launch elasticity and churn signals in real time.

Rewriting the Narrative for Lenders

We prepared a lender-ready story with normalized EBITDA, seasonality-adjusted forecasts, and a credible cost-saving roadmap. Transparent variance analysis and a timeline for operational fixes moved the conversation from covenant breaches to shared milestones and verifiable progress.

Terms That Fit Cash Realities

By modeling downside scenarios and collateral options, we negotiated amortization relief, a modest interest-rate step-down for targets met, and an accordion for opportunistic purchases. The structure rewarded discipline, reflected true working capital needs, and allowed measured investment in customer relationships.

A Win for Stability and Pride

Liquidity buffers returned, interest coverage improved, and the family refocused on service quality instead of firefighting. If lender conversations feel strained, comment with one metric you wish you could explain better—we’ll share templates that clarify the numbers without spin.

Driver-Based FP&A for Hypergrowth

We mapped volume, pricing, fulfillment time, and churn as core drivers, then linked hiring and infrastructure spend to realistic throughput limits. With version-controlled assumptions, the board could test scenarios instantly and see exactly how growth levers shaped cash runway.

Driver-Based FP&A for Hypergrowth

Monthly forecast-to-actuals reviews stopped being rituals and started being lessons. Variances triggered targeted deep dives, not blame, and cross-functional ownership of drivers kept everyone aligned on which inputs really moved revenue and unit economics.

M&A Readiness That Unlocked a Premium

We separated recurring revenue from one-time spikes, normalized costs, and ensured revenue recognition matched economic reality. Buyer diligence saw a clear earnings story backed by reconciled data, not a scramble to justify adjustments under pressure.

M&A Readiness That Unlocked a Premium

A synergy blueprint quantified efficiencies in procurement, logistics, and pricing, while a 100-day integration plan showed how value would be captured. This shifted conversations from skepticism to shared upside and created competitive tension among bidders.

Finance Analytics That Turned Insight into Habit

We implemented a pragmatic data pipeline feeding a warehouse and a simple dashboard layer. KPIs were defined with owner, formula, and refresh cadence, ending debates about which number mattered and leaving time to act on the results.
