Our Client’s Success Stories.

MAKE CHANGES TODAY THAT AFFECT PROFITABILITY TOMORROW.®

Cash Management Saves the Day

    • Problem – A freshly minted MBA purchased an existing hardware store in an industrial park. Short on cash, he cut back on inventory purchases to build cash reserves. With less product to sell, cash flow shrank and sales plummeted.
    • Solution – Evaluate previous sales and margins to identify the fastest selling items with the biggest margins. Discount to eliminate slow moving inventory, using that cash to restock shelves. Set up impulse purchasing area at store entry point and around cash registers.
    • Result – Flash sales of old and slow-moving inventory provided cash to restock faster selling items. Marketing brought old customers back to see the “new” store. Cash from impulse and markdown items funded inventory restocking. By the end of the first year, sales volume was up 72%.

Financial Reporting Drives Good Decisions

  • Problem – An e-tailer doing $45 million in sales had financial reports showing months of solid profits, alternating with months of deep losses. The owners were satisfied with the results until the company ran out of cash.
  • Solution – Change their operating accounting method from Cash to Accrual Basis. Develop a cash flow forecast. Identify products selling at a loss, adjusting their pricing methodology to assure profitability on every sale.
  • Result – With their new reporting guiding the way, the company changed their pricing across the board and started operating profitably. Negotiations with their largest suppliers allowed restructuring of their AP to long-term notes. The new profitability generated enough cash to fund growth while reducing debt by 30% in the first year.

Profitability – Identifying Real Costs

  • Problem – A specialty printer with annual sales of $19 million had seen annual profitability shrink. But when the company had its first recorded Loss of 125,000, operational changes needed to be made to turn the corner back to profitability.
  • Solution – Analyze the differences between estimates that determined customer pricing and actual production costs. For those above a variance threshold, production costs were analyzed to detail why they exceeded the estimate. This information was used to drive profitability improvements.
  • Result – Production cost variances dropped from 35% to less than 5% within 90 days. Profitability improved from $125,000 loss in the prior year to a $410,000 profit. An improvement of nearly half a million dollars.

How Our Fractional
CFO Services Work

CFO Simplified offers small to mid-sized businesses the same senior-level financial advice that big companies
get with a full-time CFO, but at a much lower cost. We provide the financial information and strategic
guidance you need to make the right decisions.

How Our CFO Process Works:

1 Deep Dive Strategic Analysis:

CFO Simplified performs a one to two-day Health Check for your company. Included: An analysis of your company’s Financial Reporting, Month-End Close process, Operational Review, Workflow Analysis, AP and AR, Cash Flow Evaluation and Banking Relationship and much more. Plus, we interview your top management. The result – a written report with recommendations.

2 Review of Deep Dive:

We review with you the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. What are the things that you’re doing well, what are the things that you should look at changing over time, and what are the changes you should make right now because they are putting your company at risk? This is a one to two-hour meeting with you and your team to discuss our findings.

3 Execution Plan:

We propose a plan to address the priorities we’ve identified. We tell you how much time it will take to bring those elements of your company’s operations up to speed with best practices. We identify how your staff will be involved in the process, and the financial impact of the implementation.

4 Ongoing CFO Support:

Now that we know your company, we can identify how much time we feel it would take to provide you with ongoing CFO support. This includes dashboards, cash flow forecasting, trend analysis, and customized KPIs.
