I have many years of experience in finding simple solutions to complex problems. Many small and mid sized companies don’t fully understand their assets and liabilities. Most don’t know how to forecast their capitalrequirements to fund growth. I often find my role initially to be that of consultant. I speak simply, clearly and often brutally honestly. The reality is that most companies need twice as long to meet their targets as forecasted. They will need twice as much money as projected. Theyreally need to understand their cap table. At what point does it make sense to use debt? I often find I need to help recruit a competent cfo. It is a tough position to fill. Finding the right Board members is crucial. My business card says that I’m an Investment Banker. My experience suggests that my role is much more diverse. I am a team member trying to help make dreams come true.
