Is Your Company Experiencing Rapid Growth?

Growth companies tend to need capital as well as help establishing more operating, management and financial reporting systems.  These systems must be capable of handling their existing financial operations as well as any actual or anticipated growth the company is experiencing.  This may entail hiring and training additional personnel or just helping existing company employees utilize its resources more effectively.

Is Your Company Experiencing Financial Difficulties or Declining Market Conditions?

Financially troubled companies either need help restructuring or reorganizing their business if they are deeply troubled or they need help finding solutions to operational, accounting and finance issues before they deteriorate to the reorganization stage.  CFO 911’s goal is to be a partner with management in these situations. CFO 911 professionals will work with management to analyze their existing situation and help them find the appropriate solution.  These solutions may include restructuring financing, downsizing, divesting businesses, helping integrate prior acquisitions, installing new accounting systems or simply helping the company utilize existing resources more effectively.

Is Your Financial Information Late and Full of Mistakes?

This is a common problem, but it is also one of the worst. If you don’t have timely and accurate financial and operating information, you can’t run your business. We help by creating a financial reporting system that produces critical, accurate and real-time data for management to use in the daily operations of the business.

The system can be something as simple as a manual cash receipts and disbursements ledger, or as complicated as a sophisticated computer-based accounting system. We design and install the system that is right for you.

Are You Satisfied with Your Accounting Systems and Staff?

We teach and train new hires and employees to use the accounting system and to create the appropriate reports. We do whatever it takes, from explaining debits and credits to teaching the preparation of SEC financial documents. Your accounting people will be able to manage the financial and operating data developed by the company and produce timely and correct information for the senior operating managers.

Do You Have an Ongoing Problem with Your Accounting Department?

We are skilled in diagnosing accounting problems and the related organizational issues that cause bottlenecks in the accounting system, preventing the timely completion of financial statements. We will spend time with you to thoroughly understand your accounting issues and identify their causes.    We will then propose appropriate solutions based upon our investigation. Once both CFO 911 and its client agree to the appropriate solution, we will implement the solution and ensure it is effective.

Is Your Budget Doing What You Want It To Do?

All companies need a road map to the future, so creating an appropriate and meaningful budget, forecast and financial model is extremely important. We have the experience and the expertise to design and implement a budgeting and forecasting procedure that produces effective financial and operating information and the means and methods to monitor the performance of the company against the budget or forecast. We also create and provide sophisticated financial models that help you manage your business.

We help you to improve your company’s overall cash position through a real-time cash reporting system.
 
Are You Satisfied with Your Current Lending Relationship?

Banking and lending relationships are crucial to the funding and growth of companies. However, these relationships can become complacent or even deteriorate based upon the current financial situation of the company. CFO 911 will review and analyze your relationship, identify your current banking needs and make appropriate recommendations to implement the right solutions. We can either help you enhance your current lender relationship or help you find a new lender that better meets your needs.

Are your Operations or Production inefficient and constantly lagging?

Companies experience constant change which affects their production and operating efficiency. As changes continue, production can lag and eventually become a block to any growth. CFO 911’s operating expertise provides for a succinct analysis of production including systems, facilities and personnel and allows for the implementation of immediate improvements in those important areas.

Are you experiencing Organizational or Work Flow Bottlenecks?

Bottlenecks occur regularly in all organizations; even at the senior management level.  CFO 911 will thoroughly research and diagnose work flow obstructions.  Improving the organizational processes and implementing changes in procedures and job requirements will help to remove any hindrances and correct the company’s organizational architecture.

Is your Competitive Strategy Working?

Understanding the competitive landscape is a key strategic consideration for any company’s business plan.  Many companies have failed due to poor or ill advised competitive strategies.  CFO 911 will perform market and competitive analysis to help management better understand the external threats to their business.  CFO 911’s expertise can also implement specific strategies  and tactics to mitigate competitive challenges.
