From Firefighting to Forecasting: A Manufacturer’s FP&A Makeover

From Firefighting to Forecasting: A Manufacturer’s FP&A Makeover

Instead of buying software first, consultants mapped decisions, cadences, and accountability. A rolling forecast model replaced annual theater, cost drivers were clarified, and one governance hub killed duplicates. Only then did a lightweight planning platform land smoothly.

Banking on Insight: Regional Lender’s Risk Analytics Reinvention

Credit models lived in isolated spreadsheets, stress tests took weeks, and portfolio reviews felt like courtroom debates. Relationship managers distrusted the numbers because methodologies varied by team, and risk appetite never translated into daily actions.

From Family Pride to Boardroom Discipline: Governance That Grew Up

Decisions happened at Sunday dinners, KPIs shifted with emotions, and auditors sighed annually. Siblings managed by instinct and loyalty, but cash surprises eroded trust. The company needed structure that honored legacy and protected the future.

From Family Pride to Boardroom Discipline: Governance That Grew Up

Consultants facilitated listening sessions, defined a simple decision charter, and built a board cadence around a compact performance dashboard. Family employment policies became clear, while dividends and reinvestment balanced ambition with fairness.

Reporting Without Relevance

The team produced lengthy ESG PDFs nobody read. Investors skimmed, operations shrugged, and CFOs couldn’t tie initiatives to returns. Skepticism grew because sustainability felt like a parallel universe to cash and capital priorities.

Consultants built a shadow P&L for emissions reductions, tied driver behavior to fuel variance, and translated route changes into working-capital gains. Lenders recognized credible metrics, unlocking better terms for fleet renewal and telematics investment.

Results You Can Bank On
