How can working capital optimization work for you?

COMPANIES DON’T GO BANKRUPT FOR LACK OF PROFIT BUT FOR LACK OF CASH.

Working capital is the main cash consumer in most companies. For this reason, all its components (accounts receivable, accounts payable and inventory) must be optimized for your business survive and thrive.

OUR FOUR STEP PROCESS:

1. Joint analysis by S.J. Grand and your teams from accounts receivable (A/R), accounts payable (A/P), and inventories to determine where your company’s cash is tied up.

2. Select which among your procedures and practices offer the greatest potential for cash liberating changes. Based on your knowledge of your business and our extensive experience with financial and operational management in China, we can jointly identify the steps available to induce the necessary changes.

3. After establishing targets and an implementation plan with your management, we will help allocate the necessary tasks and procedures among your team of managers.

4. We design simple feedback tools that will assist your management in monitoring progress and taking follow-up corrective actions.

By streamlining your procedures, you take control of your cash and your business.

RESULT:

  • Your cash is freed up.
  • You use less cash to do more.
  • Your operations become more profitable.
  • Your business becomes more robust.

PLUS:

  • More time to generate new sales and less time chasing outstanding payments.
  • Improved control over sale channels.
  • Better control over purchasing levels and over processes.
  • Increased leverage in negotiating terms with suppliers.
