THE TASK

Understand brand profitability alongside changes in working capital.

We built a dashboard to compare accrual- and payment-based profitability and examine performance by brand and product category. A separate cash-flow management report tracks changes in inventory, payables, and other working capital alongside borrowing trends.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from AX Consulting?

Financial Advisory defines the analysis, reporting policies, and questions management needs answered. AX Consulting focuses on implementing data connections and automating recurring work. Where both are needed, we propose distinct scopes and deliverables.

Can we keep our current bookkeeping provider?

Yes. We can work with records prepared by your finance team or existing provider. If the books need cleanup or additional records are required before analysis, we explain this first.

How does this differ from reporting under bookkeeping?

Bookkeeping reports communicate the results of the books and close on an agreed schedule. Designing business-level management reporting policies or carrying out additional cash and profitability analysis is scoped under Financial Advisory.
