The work that moves one column into the other.
When it gets tight, cost comes out in a hurry and in the wrong places, and the business is weaker afterwards in ways nobody intended.
First, stability. A crisis-protocol cash forecast rebuilt from receipts and payments, a payment prioritization framework, and a liquidity runway you can actually see. Where a facility needs amending or waiving, we model the amended terms before the conversation and bring your lender a plan rather than a problem — lenders refer work to us for exactly this reason.
Then earnings. A quantified profit improvement program: every initiative with a number, an owner and a date, ranked by value per month of effort. Overhead and supplier spend reviewed against benchmarks, a renewal calendar so every contract is negotiated on your timetable rather than the supplier’s, and underperforming lines, locations or accounts examined on their own numbers rather than by reputation.
Then the rebuild plan, with performance monitored against it. Where a situation needs insolvency counsel or a licensed trustee, we bring the right one in and work alongside them.
What you can do afterwards that you cannot do now.
Know your runway to the week.
Take cost out deliberately, in the right places, with a number against each move.
Walk into a lender conversation with an amended-facility model already built.
Your CFO does not do this alone.
With a named controller alongside them, a named backup on every seat, and the specialist bench behind both — all inside one fixed monthly fee.
The situations that route here.
“We are profitable but there is never any money”
“Every supplier contract seems to renew at a higher price”
“Earnings have been drifting down for three years”
Nobody needs all of it at once.
The diagnostic decides which two or three matter first in your business, and you keep that assessment either way.
Tell us what your month looks like. We will tell you whether this is the first thing to fix.
One hour on your business, with the CFO who would hold the seat rather than a salesperson. Nothing to prepare and nothing to sign. A written note back within two working days saying what we heard and what we would look at first.
