Every industry has its own version of the cash problem.
These are the ones we know from the inside. Each page exists because there is something materially different to say: what we usually see at a certain stage, the numbers we watch, and what we build. No page is a copy of another with the industry name swapped.

Fuel, driver pay, equipment notes and lender covenants, all moving at once.

Construction and trades
Growing backlog doesn't always mean growing cash.
What we usually see when a contractor goes from $10M to $30M
Auto dealerships
Floor plan, factory statements, F&I, and a balance sheet that changes every day.
What we usually see when a dealer adds a second store
Family-owned real estate
One family, six LLCs, and nobody has the whole picture.

Professional services
Everyone is busy. The margin isn't.
What we usually see when a services firm passes 25 people
Medical and dental practices
Production is up. Collections aren't.

Tell us what's going on. We'll tell you what we see
One conversation with Chris, no deck. He'll tell you what he sees and what it would take to fix it, including if the answer is that you don't need a CFO yet.
