Advisory Services Built for Operationally Complex B2B Companies
Focused cash-flow discipline, commercial payment term controls, and growth operations advisory for established firms valued at $1M–$50M.
Cash Flow & Working-Capital Diagnostic
Pinpoint Cash Leaks, Accelerate Billing Cadence, and Protect Liquid Capital.
Growth often looks profitable on the income statement while cash remains trapped in sluggish receivables, unbalanced milestone terms, and vendor commitments that come due long before customers pay. Without tight operational controls, a growing backlog absorbs liquid capital faster than standard operations can replenish it.
What We Review:
-
Receivables Aging Profiles: Real-world payment lag analyzed by customer, project type, and commercial tier.
-
Billing Cadence & Milestones: Structural gaps between work completed, pay application submission, and approved certification.
-
Project Cash Timing: Work-in-progress (WIP) exposure and cash-absorption pressure points across vendor and payroll cycles.
-
Customer Payment Terms: How real-world owner and general contractor payment practices match up against written purchase orders and contracts.
The Deliverable:
A prioritized, document-grounded Action Plan detailing:
Immediate, high-impact billing corrections to accelerate incoming collections.
Specific operational ownership handoffs between project leads and accounting staff.
Clear capital thresholds and decision criteria to guide your next phase of growth.
Commercial Terms & Receivables Readiness
Align Contract Realities with Cash Survival Before You Sign and Deliver.
Subcontractors, fabricators, and specialized B2B firms frequently absorb severe commercial risk without realizing it: pay-if-paid clauses, indefinite retainage holds, cumbersome change-order procedures, and payment cascades that leave you waiting behind multi-tier project disputes.
What We Review:
Payment Schedules & Triggers: Concrete payment timing versus conditional payment language across contract tiers.
Retainage Exposure: Release conditions, reduction milestones, and dispute resolution timelines.
Subordinate Payment Terms: Evaluating operational vulnerability to pay-when-paid and pay-if-paid structures.
Change Management Hygiene: Documentation cadence and communication protocols for out-of-scope work before cash is spent.
Escalation Workflows: Established operational triggers that prevent receivables from lingering past critical lien or bond deadlines.
The Deliverable:
A comprehensive Commercial Risk & Operational Readiness Assessment:
A line-item matrix highlighting commercial terms that endanger company liquidity.
Field-level documentation and communication protocols for project managers.
A defined internal escalation playbook for managing late-paying commercial accounts.
Growth Operations Advisory & AI Workflows
Executive-Grade Operational Rhythms and Automated Document Hygiene as You Scale.
Expanding into larger contracts, new geographic regions, or specialized service tiers introduces operational chaos. Decision-making bottlenecks at the executive level, cross-departmental handoffs break down, and manual administrative work delays billing and project closeout.
What We Deliver:
Operating Cadence & Governance:
Establishing disciplined weekly working-capital and receivables tracking rhythms.
Clear accountability interfaces between project managers, estimators, and finance leads.
Defined decision frameworks for evaluating major contract bids and equipment capital outlays.
Practical AI Workflow Integration:
Automated, document-driven receivables aging and follow-up sequences.
Modern automated workflows for extracting, classifying, and logging change orders and submittals.
Document parsing routines to eliminate manual data entry between field logs and accounting systems.
Engagement Structure:
Phase 1: 60- to 90-Day Implementation Sprint. Diagnosing operational bottlenecks, instituting reporting cadences, and deploying practical automation routines.
Phase 2: Right-Sized Monthly Advisory Retainer. Structured monthly leadership working sessions, ongoing commercial risk review, and executive decision support.
