Your Single Largest Constraint - Money to Grow

Your small business does not have unlimited access to the most critical asset to grow your business:  Money.  Without money, you cannot hire necessary talent to grow.  Without money, you have to choose the right projects and opportunities to maximize your profits.  You cannot be wrong like GE, GM, or Intel.  Every opportunity must be looked at in light of the scarcity of money.  Without solid planning, you will not have what you need to be successful.

But how do you leverage this constraint?  How do you analyze your various options to ensure that you are choosing the one that elevates your money and keeps it working for your profitability?  Who do you turn to when you need help deciding?

If you are looking for more cash to grow your business, stop looking outside.  Bank's are not lending like they used to so outside money is really hard to come by.  Angel investors are hard to come by and they want a solid exit strategy.  You have no more money from the outside to put into your business and you cannot borrow on your Home Equity any longer. 

No, you are strapped and you need a low cost, effective solution to keep your business focused and on track.

Constant Profit Advisors has created our Outsourced CFO system with this fact in mind.  We bring over a decade of independent, objective financial management skill to your business.  Plus, our advisors are trained in Lean Process, Six Sigma and Theory of Constraints.  This unique blend offers us insight into the financial muscle of your business and how a strong focus and a desire to improve can grow your cash flows.

Our method keeps us focused on your strategy and runs every opportunity through our Constraint Improvement Model.  Our Model analyzes your use of money in your business and helps you leverage it to continuously improve your profitablity.  We use the following steps to ensure that your constrained resource is used to its best advantage:

→Create the operating expense structure necessary to carry out the Company's Strategy
→Work through a systemic review of your processes to ensure money is spent appropriately
→Report to the Company's leaders on the effectiveness of the Strategy

We Are what We Measure

Do you focus on any of the following?

Labor efficiency?

Equipment efficiency?

Revenue per employee hour?

Cost per hour?

Monthly Net Profit?

Gross Profit Margin?

Do you find your employee's doing things that drive you crazy but that seem to report solid results on these measurements?

We are committed to the philosophy that our clients should only pay if we can provide proof of the effectiveness of our efforts.  Our fee structure is therefore performance based and completely contingent on our proof of the increase in your company's effectiveness and efficiency.

We agree up front on the scope and price for the project.  In almost all cases we do our work with a strong bias towards an incentive based system.  Therefore we try to move at least 50% of our compensation to a performance base where we are only compensated if we demonstrate achievement towards the goals and objectives established in the project plan. 

**If the Company is located more than 100 miles from Portland, Oregon, travel costs will be negotiated separately, and will be deducted from the performance fee.

4. There is no such thing as good enough.
