Manufacturing finance

Manufacturing cash flow works differently. Your finance should too.

General-purpose bookkeeping and tax prep weren't built for inventory-heavy, capital-intensive businesses. We focus only on manufacturers so the advice fits the operation.

Cash leaves before revenue arrives

Raw material, labor, and overhead are paid weeks or months before the customer pays. Growth can drain cash.

Inventory hides money

Raw stock, WIP, and finished goods are cash on a shelf. Small changes in turns move large amounts of cash.

Margins vary by job and product

Blended gross margin can mask unprofitable lines, customers, or quotes.

Equipment decisions are big and lumpy

Capex, leases, and financing need to be timed against a forward view of cash.

Who we serve

U.S. manufacturers with $500K–$75M in revenue.

Typically owner-led, often family-owned, and big enough that cash decisions carry real weight. We work remotely with clients across the country.
