Working Capital Optimization
Deep-dive analysis of your cash conversion cycle with a prioritized roadmap to free trapped cash. Typical results: 15-30 days CCC improvement.
Working capital is cash trapped in your operating cycle - inventory sitting on shelves, invoices waiting to be paid, minus the float from vendor terms. For most businesses, this trapped cash represents 10-30% of revenue. Freeing even a portion of it is like getting an interest-free loan from your own operations.
Our Working Capital Optimization service starts with a comprehensive assessment: detailed analysis of your AR, AP, and inventory patterns; benchmarking against industry standards; and identification of the highest-impact improvement levers specific to your business.
Then we build a prioritized roadmap. Not theoretical best practices, but specific actions ranked by dollar impact and ease of implementation. We support you through the first 30-60 days of implementation, helping you capture the quick wins and establish the processes that sustain improvement.
