Message from the CEO

When I decided to form SB Consulting, I did it with the intention of using my years of experience to help companies who are eager to improve performance and succeed, but may not have the time or the resources to accomplish the task at hand.

 

As we started working with clients, we found early on that even well managed businesses very often have not had the exposure to effective planning, budgeting, systems and structure. While many of these owners, managers and entrepreneurs wanted to expand their business and improve operating performance, they often didn’t have a road map to get them there.

As we developed our client base we realized that not only did these businesses need our help with developing tactical and strategic plans, and working out financial challenges, we also found that our consultative and advisory services were often more important than simply developing their mission thorough a well articulated business plan and budget.

 

Making the decision to engage a business consultant and advisor to help with these challenges is not an easy one. There are plenty of choices, with no real guidance as to the best and most effective services for your particular situation, To achieve the best results it’s important to know the specialization and areas of expertise of the firm you choose.

 

We work helping only small companies with sales revenue less than $20 million annually and that have the following challenges:

 

• Financial results have not met the expectations of the owners, investors and partners, and from a profitability and cash flow perspective are unsatisfactory.

• The firm lacks an operating budget and business plan that will provide them with a game plan moving forward.
• Sales revenue is flat or decreasing while increasing operating costs and low margins are impacting working capital.

• Overhead has stymied flexibility and the business has lost direction.

We have a record helping companies get on track with better management tools such as measuring performance, controlling cash, improving margins, expanding revenue, empowering employees, and improving bottom line performance. Our client case studies reflect bottom line performance improvements averaging over 15% with positive improvements to cash flow and working capital.

 

We have a passion for our business, and get a tremendous amount of satisfaction sharing our wealth of experience with business owners, and providing them with the tools and insights to make positive and long term changes to their organizations.

 

Thanks in advance for your interest. We look forward to meeting you.
