Working Capital Optimization

More than ever, cash is king.

A lot rides on the strength of your organization's cash position. Especially these days when affordable credit can be difficult to come by.

Maximizing your availability to cash can lower your debt-service carrying costs, dependency on your line of credit and also allow you to consider strategic opportunities for growth that would otherwise be out of reach.

Improved cash management and planning
Our financial professionals help you improve the accuracy and efficiency of your cash-flow forecasting and planning processes, which improves the reliability of the information you have available for decision making. Moving from historical budget analysis to forward-looking cash flow forecasting can enable significantly improved management insights and working capital efficiency.

Improved working capital results
Very often, working capital is directly tied to how effectively accounts payable (AP), accounts receivable (AR) and inventory are managed. Through proven tools and in-depth analysis of your working capital workstreams, we help you determine the most significant tactics for increasing available cash flow. Whether through more effective management of your AR day sales outstanding (DSO), inventory turns and supply chain efficiency, or AP days payable outstanding, we work across department boundaries and interface with your end customers and suppliers to help you improve your working capital management results.

As an example, depending on your organization's size, a 15-day reduction in DSO could translate into a one-time cash surge of millions of dollars. Money you could use to reduce your debt and grow the business. If you're a manufacturer, distributor, retailer or company in another inventory-heavy industry, you know how costly unnecessary inventory can be. Our consultants will help you turn inventory more effectively, finding root cause opportunities to drive improvement.
