Cash flow isn’t just about how much you sell—it’s about how quickly that cash hits your account. The Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) measures how efficiently your business turns investments into cash. A long CCC can choke growth, while a short CCC keeps you agile. We created a step-by-step guide + a downloadable template to help you: ? Calculate your CCC in minutes—no manual formulas required. ? Identify bottlenecks slowing down cash flow. ? Take action to optimize receivables, inventory, and payables. Want to learn more about how to master your conversion cycle?

People love to talk about how long they’ve played the game. Years of experience. Decades in an industry. The time they’ve put in. But, experience alone doesn’t change anything. Impact does. At some point, every team faces a challenge that seems impossible. A roadblock that’s been there forever. A system too rigid, a process too ingrained, a goal that’s been called “unrealistic” more times than you can count. We’ve been there. Faced obstacles that seemed immovable. Heard all the reasons why change wasn’t possible. And still, we pushed forward. Not because it was easy, but because it was necessary. And we figured it out. Together. Because skepticism doesn’t dictate outcomes: ? Alignment does. ? Trust does. ? Shared purpose does. The best teams don’t just play the game. They change it. Maybe they even effectuate an unprecedented reimbursement rate re-basing. Lifting the reimbursement floor for an entire state. Stabilizing healthcare providers, ensuring quality and continuity of care for thousands of patients. When everyone said it couldn't be done. But guess what? We were part of a team that got it done. So tell me—what’s the biggest challenge your team has ever taken on? And how did you push through? #StrategicPartner #FractionalCFO #TalkNerdyToMe

?? Every great company starts somewhere. And let’s be honest—it’s not always pretty. Case in point: Me, age 10. ?? Bad perm. ?? Cowgirl shirt (thanks, Mom). ?? Awkward smile. I was a startup in every sense. Figuring things out. Rough around the edges. Full of potential, but needing some...fine-tuning. That’s exactly where this company was less than a decade ago. ? A failed ERP implementation. ? No reliable financials—six months behind on reporting. ? An overwhelmed, underqualified finance team. Because, growth without financial infrastructure is a disaster waiting to happen. Fast forward to today? They’re a $100M company. ?? Tighter financial operations. ?? A rebuilt ERP system that actually works. ?? Real cash flow strategy. It took the right people, smart financial strategy, and operational discipline. But, they transformed from chaos to a high-growth, sustainable powerhouse. Because the truth is, every business has an awkward phase. What matters is how you move past it. ??
