Areas of Practice


Expense Reduction Analysis & Cost Management

 

Depending on a company’s services or product, strategies for expenses reduction can vary. Every decision in the product development process affects cost and cost becomes more important when competition increases and price becomes a differentiator in the market.

Our team has more than 20 years of experience running cost reduction initiatives for corporations of every size including companies in the electric and aviation industry.


Business Coaching (Small & Medium)

 

We provide management consulting to help organizations improve their performance and efficiency. Our professionals analyze businesses and create solutions while also helping your company to meet their goals.

At VYCR Consulting, we will help you recognize and improve these characteristics to help you, so you can help your business.

Fractional CFO

 

A fractional CFO is an experienced CFO who provides services for organizations in a part-time, retainer, or contract arrangement. This offers a company the experience and expertise of a high-end CFO without the in-house cost—salary, benefits, and bonuses—of a full-time CFO. A Chief financial officer (CFO) is the person responsible for managing the financial actions of a company. The CFO's duties include tracking cash flow and financial planning as well as analyzing the company's financial strengths and weaknesses and proposing corrective actions.

You may be wondering how, specifically, a fractional CFO service can give you an advantage in your market. Here are some ways small businesses use fractional CFOs: 

Redesigning the entire accounting and financial process. When you bring in an experienced fractional CFO, you're not only getting someone with helpful knowledge; you're getting someone who can implement processes which have been proven to work in other organizations.

Reconditioning Financial reports. Many organizations lack financial clarity because they don't get the right reports on a regular basis. A fractional CFO service will often come in and adjust or completely rebuild weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual reports to deliver data which informs decisions. This may involve tracking new or different Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).

Coaching the CEO/Owner. CEOs who are not financially oriented look at numbers and see numbers. A fractional CFO can teach you how to look at numbers and see the story behind the numbers. So, you'll not only get immediate insights from the CFO, you'll get the training which will help you become the data-driven CEO you've always wanted to be.

Navigating a cash crisis. It is not uncommon for small businesses to seek CFO services when their backs are against the wall. A top-notch fractional CFO has been in the trenches before and can jump in and prioritize tasks by greatest impact to keep the lights on. The fractional CFO can also put cash management controls in place to ensure the business is never blindsided by a cash crisis again. These controls give you the time to respond if a crisis is on the horizon.

Raising capital. We can prepare your financials in a way that will attract capital, even if you don't actively participate in the negotiations.


Business Plans & Valuations

 

A good business plan guides you through each stage of starting and managing your business. You’ll use your business plan as a roadmap for how to structure, run, and grow your new business. It’s a way to think through the key elements of your business. Business plans can help you get funding or bring on new business partners. Investors want to feel confident they’ll see a return on their investment. Your business plan is the tool you’ll use to convince people that working with you — or investing in your company — is a smart choice.

Effective business planning can be the key to your success. A business plan can help you secure finance, prioritize your efforts and evaluate opportunities.

Banks and investors are funding more start-ups than ever, but most entrepreneurs never get to secure funding. Double your chances of getting the funding you need with an industry-leading business plan. It may initially seem like a lot of work; however, a well-prepared business plan can save you time and money in the long run.

Determining your organizational value is essential whether you’re buying or selling a business, establishing a partnership or just interested in how you compare to the competition.  Our team's in-depth analysis to your enterprise' s worth not only identifies, but maximizes, your value. 

We have the expertise needed to provide you with the most credible business valuation. Our appraisals can be used for:

  • Potential Sales

  • Potential Acquisitions

  • Business owners who just want to know their company’s worth
