THE PRESSURE, NAMED

Margin is decided on the floor and discovered in the ledger, usually too late.

Select a pressure to see how the engagement answers it.

Inventory and cost accounting We are not confident what a unit actually costs us to make. Inventory and cost accounting built properly, so unit economics, pricing, and margin analysis rest on real numbers rather than allocations nobody has revisited in years.

Capital equipment and leases Every expansion means equipment, leases, and financing decisions we make once.. Lease accounting, resource management, and financial modeling for the capital decisions that are difficult to reverse.

Banking relations Our lender wants reporting we struggle to produce on time. Banking relations handled by a CFO who has sat on both sides of the covenant conversation, with reporting that arrives before it is chased.

Compliance and reporting Compliance keeps expanding and the team is already at capacity. Compliance and SEC reporting absorbed into the engagement, with monthly accounting support underneath it so nothing is being caught up later.

Growth and transactions We are raising capital or considering an acquisition. Cash flow forecasting, raising capital, and mergers and acquisitions, run by someone who has taken companies through both.
