Real World Value of Lumina CFO Partners
Cash Flow Management
A boutique management consulting firm, was struggling with cash flow and liquidity issues. Monthly financial surprises were common, and the managing partner lacked clarity on the firm’s financial standing.
Lumina CFO Partners stepped in and created a robust cash flow forecast, providing the partner with clear insights and reducing financial surprises each month. Additionally, Lumina reviewed the firm’s working capital policies and introduced a new strategy focused on optimizing receivables and payables. This included implementing stricter credit control measures, renegotiating supplier payment terms, and introducing a dynamic discounting program for early payments, which improved liquidity and stabilized cash flow.
This translated into an improvement of lock-up days from 185 days to 93 days which allowed for much easier cash flow management.
Don't know where to look
A local furniture business, was experiencing a steady decline in sales and profits since the start of its third year, despite having a strong business plan and initial success.
Lumina CFO Partners conducted a thorough analysis of the business operations and identified gaps in the existing KPIs. They introduced a comprehensive KPI revision strategy, which included new performance metrics focused on customer retention, average spend per customer, and inventory turnover rates. Furthermore, Lumina developed a customized dashboard reporting system, enabling real-time monitoring and decision-making. These changes provided the business owner with actionable insights and strategic direction, leading to a gradual recovery in sales and profitability.
Take it to the next level
A marketing agency had been scaling impressively over the past two years and the owner was considering expanding operations further. However, securing the necessary capital for expansion was a challenge.
Lumina CFO Partners crafted a solid Series A funding roadmap for the owner and their in-house Finance manager. This roadmap included comprehensive audit assistance, meticulous due diligence advisory, and a well-structured pitch deck highlighting the company’s growth potential. Lumina also leveraged its extensive network to connect the owner with ideal venture capital firms. This holistic approach not only facilitated the successful raising of capital but also positioned the agency for sustainable growth and expansion.
