Personal CFO Solutions: A Small Business Case Study

Improving Cash Flow for a Blue Collar Business

At a Glance

This client knew that they should be taking home more money but didn’t understand their current financial situation or how to improve it.

Challenges

This client had a successful landscaping business that was grossing around $1M annually. While they were grossing quite a bit of money, their take home pay was low and they weren’t sure where all the money was going. There were also inefficiencies in the business that costed hundreds of thousands of dollars each year and dozens of work hours each week.

The Solution

We first set up weekly meetings with the client to educate them on their financial situation. Then, we created a spreadsheet which included all debt and set up a payment schedule. Next, we set up business practices that lowered past due accounts receivable, increased cash flow, and cut expenses.

    Financial education and organization led to a focused approach to paying off large amounts of high-interest debt.

  • Increased Cash Flow

    By lowering monthly debt obligations, collecting quicker on AR, and cutting some monthly expenses, cash flow greatly increased.
