Establishing proper financial reporting and analysis is key for managing a growing business.  Experienced support for gaining funding or for selling or buying a business can be a critical difference.

Financial set up and analysis:

Our team can assist you in setting up proper accounting procedures including financial reporting, monthly analysis and collections policies.  If your business does not have a CFO or if you need help on an interim or extra basis, we can help.  We can also review financials to suggest cost savings and revenue enhancements.  We can create and/or review budgets.  EC can even speak with your managers, talk to you about your needs and, with our years of experience, generate ideas to help increase cash flow.  

Assistance towards funding, operating or sale:

We have worked with numerous start-up and early-stage companies on the funding side of their business.  EC has assisted with crafting business plans used for funding and has prepared funding applications for clients.  We have accompanied clients to venture capitalist meetings and sat with them at the table when they successfully met.

Entrepreneurial Consulting can also help you with research, analysis and negotiations related to the sale or purchase of a business on your behalf. We have been involved in multiple sales and can be there with you.  We can also help you get the best possible sale price.  On the buy side, we can help you determine if the acquisition will be a good fit, see if the prospective acquisition has enough long term growth potential, analyze their market and help negotiate the best terms and price with you.  

We helped a direct marketing client establish proper bookkeeping procedures and hire a Controller.  When Ben Franklin Technology Partners needed a seasoned hand to perform a due diligence for a prospective investment, they turned to us multiple times.  A recent early stage tech company brought us in to help them complete applications and then sit with them at the table with venture capitalists that led to hundreds of thousands of dollars in funding.  And another mature client of ours called on us to assist with drafting their financial narrative during a recent, successful, multi-million dollar sale of their firm.
