How I can help
My professional background
I am the Financial Controller for multiple manufacturing plants, in this position I oversee all accounting and financial activities in the plant as well as partner with the other departments and help steer the leadership team to grow our business. I work with our Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable teams to make sure that my sites are turning over cash at a fast enough rate so we can invest and grow the business. By maximizing the churn of sales through a business you can decrease costs while maximizing the work your cash is doing for you. I also work closely with the sales team to make that we have competitive prices, that will not only maximize our sales in the short term but also allow us to be a partner of choice. Along with other accounting responsibilities I also oversee the finance side of the organization. Developing metrics across the plant to ensure that all workers understand how they can impact the bottom line.
How to work with me
What I can offer
As much as I love complex inventory, cash flow or planning problems. I also love teaching the language, tools and metrics to help new business owners succeed. Many new business owners often fall into the trap of looking for the one metric to drive their business and unfortunately it is not as simple as that. Instead I like to show them the relationships between numbers to give them the understanding and the confidence to run their business successfully.
