A business plan is the execution manual of a business. It serves the purpose of keeping a defined internal set of actions aligned, but also serves externally for obtaining financing and raising capital. As key as this extensive document is, the process and detail to be included is of key importance.

We specialize in understanding businesses, their markets and the financial numbers behind them. In the same manner, we confront ideas to our business and market knowledge, we analyze them, we improve them, and we integrate them on a working business plan with detailed financial statements for third parties to visualize.

We want to be your accompanying partner in the growth of your business. Our team includes banking experts, and we want to put their experience at your service.

We are your ally in your financing requirement initiatives, helping you with the design of the financing strategy; obtaining more favorable banking options and conditions; preparing robust documentation to back up funding requests; and being at your side at every step of the process. Our experience will allow you to save precious time and money.

The budget is the operative plan for your company. Your whole business, and every partial initiative that you may have (new line of products, new branch, new production facility, etc..), can be translated into numbers. When you transcribe your business and projects into numbers, you get your budget.

We will model your business into a detailed budget tool, for you to have a clear vision of your future performance. We will then transcribe your objectives into numbers, plug them in and guide you to take the best decisions. Through the construction of alternate scenarios, you will be able to evaluate results of different strategic paths and choose the one that better suits your vision and outcome expectation.

In an ever-increasing competitive environment where prices are negotiated frequently (affecting margins), cost management is key to keep quality, be competitive, and maintain attractive profits. Cost management is a frequent activity often delegated to already busy employees (the accountant for example) or is undertaken by top executives who have little time to get into detail. Moreover, information is limited, confusing, and decisions can be wrongly taken.

At Strategy Latam, we take the mission to deep dive into your cost structure (variable and fixed), to obtain optimizations that increase margins, reduce lag, and thus increase company profitability.

Cash is King. In a cash-tight environment, a highly optimized cash management is what could make a difference between a solid continuous operation and a perilously risky situation. Cash management is, additionally, a profit-generating factor by itself.

We will build for you a cash flow model that will allow you to plan and manage your future cash inflows and outflows. We help you in the design and planning of your treasury actions and functions for your best economic advantage. We will identify risks (financial and operative) and what to do to mitigate them. Cash generation is the ultimate value driver of a company.

The company bottom line is the combination of all profits generated individually by each product, department, customer, and employee. Any company can separate profits at least by one of these dimensions.

We will study your business, or your products, so that you can see where your profits are coming from and in what proportion. With this service, you can learn which product, group of products, or dimension, generates profits or losses, and allows you to take the appropriate actions. The goal of optimizing your profitability is to obtain the most value from your invested capital.

Corporate growth objectives can lead companies to consider investing in new plants, new branches, new stores, and new equipment. The obvious question that every manager needs to answer is if the investment will be profitable.

Our analysis will allow you to evaluate the viability and profitability of a future investment. We will analyze all factors that impact the results of the new project, how quick it would generate cash, when it will reach breakeven, and what are the risks associated to it. At Strategy, we want your investments to increase your company value.

We provide our clients an innovative service of a part-time CFO, for those that can’t hire a full-time CFO but need the input and insight of an experienced and strategic financial expert. Company leaders need to focus on their core business and spend less time in supervision and analysis. And most of the time, their accountant provides limited analytical value due to their continuous specific responsibilities. In fact, we do not recommend having your accountant mix operative tasks with analytical tasks, in order to ensure accounting information objectivity.

For a monthly fee, our experienced professionals can provide you with: high level insights on your monthly performance, strategic recommendations for profitability and growth, suggestions for operational improvement, oversight on quality of accounting work, and other valuable input as requested. We tailor our services to your needs and budget. This service is ideal for strategic crossroads and multiplies its value when combined with other services we provide.
