Free Up Cash Flow

Sales don't equal profitability and profitability does not equal cash flow. Many businesses find themselves with steady sales numbers and are profitable on their P&L while still strapped for cash. The Consultants at The Gordon Group analyze a businesses financial health to determine the changes owners can make to improve cash flow. We negotiate terms with clients, vendors, and lenders to place businesses in a better cash position.

If your businesses is facing a cash crunch here is a tip to consider:

Call your vendors and negotiate the terms of repayment. You may find that they are willing to work with you by extending your due date or provide you with a discount when paying within a shorter time frame.

To learn more ways to free up cash flow and increase profitability contact The Gordon Group today at 253-838-8711 or aj@gordon-group.net.

Survey: Banks leave CFOs feeling shortchanged - Related Stories - SmartBrief for CFOs

"Tired of being at the mercy of their banks, CFOs are working hard to regain the upper hand.

In a new CFO survey, almost 25% (of 640-plus respondents) describe their relationship with their primary bank as "strictly transactional" — that is, their bank is interested in them only as a source of revenue. Another 20% classify it as "deteriorating" or "abysmal." Between now and the middle of next year, more companies — 19% of midsize businesses and 16% of small businesses, according to Greenwich Associates — will issue requests for proposals, a key step in switching to new banks."

At the Gordon Group we offer CFO consulting services to assist businesses with all of their financial needs, including working with banks. We find that most business owners are fantastic at what they do but less productive when handeling the financial matters of the company.

Mr. Buffett and GFG think alike

After the Government committed $700 billion to bail out financial firms and automakers, Warren Buffett thinks the US would feel compelled to rescue a state facing default.

Here at Gordon Financial Group Inc., our thought is very similar to Mr. Buffett’s. Nowadays many businesses have been turned down for traditional bank financing because one piece of the puzzle is curved instead of straight, yet they have a solid business plan & foundation.

For those businesses, we can help! Not only do we have options for financing, but we can also help to increase profits. Who wouldn’t want that?

Call one of our associate’s today to get started (253) 838-8711 or visit us at www.GordonFinancialGroup.net

Marrying the right person

There are several ways in this great country to become rich; own a business (or several like Mr. Buffett), develop revolutionary software that changed the landscape of technology (like Mr. Gates), or marry the right person.

Christy Walton chose the latter. She married John Walton, son of Sam Walton (founder of Wal-Mart). Unfortunately John passed away in 2005; however, the Wal-Mart shares did not. Christy is reportedly worth $22.5 billion.

I guess everyone has their own investment strategy. We at Gordon Financial Group, Inc. can help with your investment strategy too. Sorry, we won't give marriage advice though.
