Business Advisors FAQs

What is the financial health of my business?

Too many business owners struggle to know the true health of their companies. We specialize in helping business owners/managers understand what the numbers really mean for their company.

How can I know the true operating costs for my company?

We use a monthly customized report that readily shows current operating costs.

How do I motivate/develop my employees?

Employees are motivated in different ways but most frequently by total job satisfaction. We utilize an incentive pay system that motivates employees to care about labor efficiency, company profitability, and long-term employment. Happy employees that are cared for by the manager can be developed into long-term team players for the company.

Can my company withstand a recession?

A recession typically means a reduction in sales for companies. The C$ Report shows the breakeven point in a company which in turn gives insight into how big a sales loss could be withstood.

Can I believe what I hear in the grapevine?

Assumed norms in your industry are unreliable sources to determine pricing for your products or services. True overhead costs and profit goals for each company vary and must be based on what is correct for their own business model.

What is the Common$ents Report?

The Common$ents Report is created using your business numbers.

You will find out your profit and loss, your break-even point, and many other important details. These reports create a visible way to track your progress, identify areas that could be improved, and make good decisions!

It is hard to make decisions when you don't know the financial health of your business.

When you can see where you are financially, then it becomes a matter of common sense when facing decisions about hiring, buying new equipment, or expanding your business.

Where is all my money going and why is my cash flow so tight?

Profitable companies need to know their expenses to manage the company efficiently. Struggling companies need to know their expenses for survival. Our C$ Report will help any company clearly understand where every dollar goes.

Are my jobs or products profitable?

Our advisors utilize tools that help you see what your jobs or products are contributing financially to the company. Proper job costing provides the basis for correct pricing and accurate estimating.

Should I go into debt to grow my business?

This answer is found as the numbers are properly understood. We use the C$ Report, budget projections, and planning spreadsheets to help clients make these decisions.

How do I increase my sales?
