Willeman Strategy Partners Inc works primarily with early and growth stage companies in the Pacific Northwest.

Where most small companies are failing:
Are you getting the information and practical advice you need to make critical decisions? Do you know what your company’s primary sources of profits are… and just as important what areas of your business are reducing profitability?

If yours is like many small or even medium sized businesses you are not getting the information you need and do not have an experienced senior financial person on your team. Most small company founders and presidents have a core area of knowledge such as technical product knowledge or marketing and sales expertise. Even company leaders with strong business backgrounds know they are at a disadvantage if there is no senior financial person supporting them with relevant information and analysis. Often companies do not have the resources or adequate day to day demand to justify a full time CFO.

Occasionally companies face specific challenges, such as an acquisition or refining the company strategy, where outside help could make a significant difference. Investors and bankers like to know an experienced financial person is helping the company make sound decisions.

Early stage companies usually need help:

• projecting their financials
• determining what type or types of financing are appropriate
• building relationships with investors, bankers, CPAs and other business partners
• setting up their financial systems and controlling cash flow
• establishing product pricing and business models
• developing the reporting and metrics essential to managing the business and communicating with stakeholders
• refining business plans
• negotiating with vendors, large customers and strategic partners

Add a virtual or part time CFO to your team:
With the growing flexibility of the workforce, many small firms have sprung up to address these needs. Experienced professionals such as CFOs, marketing VPs, and even CEOs often provide services to several companies concurrently, thus giving companies access to their knowledge and experience without the expense of a full-time employee. Most companies see a substantial and immediate improvement in their decision making ability.
