Fix your cash flow fast
Drake Financial Services are specialists in working with fast-growth businesses who want more than the standard accounting and tax solutions, but who also want to apply highly effective cash management solutions and systems so that they can protect their business against painful and unnecessary cash flow shortages.
We support our client’s growth with systems and advice to enable you to know your self-financeable growth rate, manage your 7 drivers for continuous improvement and ensure your business is always best positioned for growth from a financial perspective. The 7 drivers of cash flow are: pricing, sales volume, cost of goods sold, overhead costs, debtor days, creditor days and stock days.
WHY YOU SHOULD IMPLEMENT SUPERIOR CASH MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AND SYSTEMS
- A clear line-of-sight on your cash forecast so you can grow your sales with confidence.
- The ability to grow your top line with confidence by reducing unforeseen and show-stopping defaults from customers.
