Financial Performance Accelerator
The most common weakness in growing companies is financial infrastructure. Flaws manifest in inaccurate financial statements, no budgets or forecasts, lack of visibility into negative cash flow cycles…all of which adversely impact the owner’s ability to take appropriate action. Access to growth capital is severely impaired in companies which lack these basic building blocks.
Accretive Value Advisor’s Financial Performance Accelerator is a 90-day consulting engagement led by Jeff Farren.
We will:
- Create a framework of Financial Performance Management to drive improved profitability, cash flow, and accountability of all team members.
- Coach and mentor the controller/bookkeeper to meet the reporting needs of the owner and all stakeholders and lenders, including timely and accurate financial statements.
- Reduce and minimize risk, which will lower the cost of capital.
- Prepare company for outside financing at the lowest interest rate possible.
- Other company objectives as mutually agreed.
Deliverables:
- Assistance with Loan Applications, including guidance on how to submit a complete and effective financial package and other data to lenders, if applicable.
- Bi-weekly consultations with the business owner, to include other staff as needed.
- Budget and Rolling Cash Flow Forecast, with Budget-to-Actual reports.
- Value Growth Assessment Report, with action items to lower risk and improve the 8 drivers of company value.
- Value Growth Scenario Planning Tool, with multiple 'what if' scenarios.
We will improve the chances of obtaining growth capital from commercial lenders, as
well as improve financial health and lower company specific risk. This leads to higher
company value and increased financial options, including access to capital.
