Finance advisory for U.S. manufacturers
Cash flow that matches the goals you built the business for.
The Factory CFO helps small and midsize manufacturers — $500K to $75M in revenue — forecast cash, free up working capital, and grow enterprise value.
The problem
Orders are up, the P&L looks fine — and the bank balance still keeps you up at night.
In manufacturing, cash gets tied up in raw material, work-in-process, and slow-paying customers long before profit shows up. Without a forward view of cash, owners end up making big decisions — hiring, equipment, pricing — on instinct.
Four places we focus.
All services13-week cash forecast
A rolling, week-by-week view of receipts and disbursements so you see shortfalls before they arrive.
Working capital
Receivables, payables, and inventory tuned so less cash sits on the shop floor and in customers' pockets.
Management reporting
A short monthly package and KPI set your team actually uses to run the plant.
Profitability & enterprise value
Margin by product, customer, and line — tied back to what the business is worth and what you want from it.
