Lack of cash is the cause of 82% of business failures.
- According to research done by U.S. Bank and cited on the SCORE/Counselors to America’s Small Business
At the end of the day, it comes down to cash flow.
Profits and revenue may be up, but if the cash isn’t flowing, a company can’t survive. Especially during these difficult times, companies are faced with the additional challenges of pivoting their business models, disrupted supply chains and decreased business. In order to weather these tough times, it’s crucial that businesses have enough cash and/or access to cash, while also having a cash flow forecast and management system.
Bay Area CFO Consultants provides our clients with a step-by-step financial road map to cash flow optimization, increasing their cash runway and getting them on the path to sustainable growth and profitability.
We’ve been there, and we’ll show you the way.
