Where did my profit go?
Your P&L says the business made money. Your bank balance tells a different story. Spend three minutes to see the gap, understand what sits behind it, and make insightful decisions about what comes next. You'll know how much cash is really yours once tax is paid, how many months of costs it covers, and where to look first to get cash back into the bank.
Hi, I'm Mark Liner, Principal of CFO Consultant. Many owners can see a profit on paper and still wonder where the cash went. I built this check so you can see the gap for yourself, in three minutes, before you make your next big decision.

The profit-to-cash bridge
An indicative picture built from your estimates.
Indicative only, and built from the figures you entered. Opening balances, timing and upcoming commitments are what a proper forward cash view brings together.
Note: tax accounting ensures compliance; management accounting reveals performance. Different jobs, both needed.

Hi, I'm Roy West, Relationship Manager here at CFO Consultant. Let's start with a conversation so I can properly understand your current situation, your growth goals, and work out together if this is the right fit. I've built and sold six businesses of my own, so I don't read from a script or push one-size-fits-all solutions. I appreciate more than most what Mark and the CFO Consultant team can do for a scaling business — the real question is simply whether it's the right move for you right now.
