01 / Diagnose

Rapid cash-flow diagnosis and short-term planning

We map when money enters, when it leaves, and where timing creates avoidable strain. The result is a practical cash-flow plan with owners, dates, and decisions tied to daily operations.

02 / Stabilize

Short-term stabilization before long-term recovery

The first 30 days need visible ownership. We focus leadership attention on the moves that protect cash, customer confidence, and the ability to keep delivering.

First priority
30 days

A focused stabilization task list, reviewed with leadership each week.

01

Protect daily cash

Set payment priorities, confirm near-term obligations, and flag decisions that could drain working capital.

02

Make status visible

Create a short daily view of cash, orders, staffing constraints, and customer commitments.

03

Preserve operating value

Separate urgent reductions from cuts that would damage delivery, retention, or future revenue.

03 / Review

Cost and vendor review without cutting the wrong corners

Vendor management should reduce risk as well as spend. We examine terms, concentration, service impact, and the room to renegotiate or consolidate.

Discuss a vendor review

04 / Build resilience

Resilience planning and sourcing strategy

Dependence on one customer, supplier, or channel can turn a small disruption into a cash event. We make those concentrations visible and set practical actions for Minnesota leadership teams.

Resilience belongs in weekly routines.

Customer concentration

Set revenue thresholds and a plan for account diversification.

Supply exposure

Compare alternate sources, lead times, and service consequences.

Channel disruption

Prepare a response when a market route or partner changes suddenly.

05 / Recover

Move from stabilization to recovery planning

A crisis plan should have an exit. The 90-day roadmap turns early cash controls into clearer revenue priorities, simpler operations, and a leadership review cadence.
