Caught in a Cash Flow Conundrum?
Is your manufacturing business caught in a cash flow conundrum? You send products to your customers, who then take days or even months to pay. Meanwhile, your suppliers are demanding payment, employees are looking for regular paychecks, and your equipment needs maintenance.
The constant plate spinning can drain your energy and limit growth. What if cash flow management could give you the edge instead of being your biggest headache? It can!

Our Approach to Cash Flow
To improve cash flow in a manufacturing business, you need more than just generic financial advice. You need an accounting firm that knows how to address the unique needs of manufacturing environments.
We have years of experience partnering with manufacturing firms, and our cash flow team understands the business inside and out. We go beyond basic bookkeeping to devise a bespoke financial strategy that adapts to your production cycles, customer payment patterns, and plans for the future.
The result? A business that runs smoother, grows faster, and generates more profit - all while reducing the amount of financial stress you deal with.
Take Control of Your Cash Flow
Manufacturing cash flow follows a pretty standard pattern. You buy materials, pay labor costs, produce the goods, deliver to customers, and wait for payment. The problem lies in the timing mismatches between all of these stages.
Our approach addresses every part of this cycle:
Purchase Optimization
We check your purchasing patterns to highlight opportunities for better terms, volume discounts, and ideal timing. By aligning purchases with your production schedule and cash availability, we can remove unnecessary inventory costs while ensuring you still have all the production materials you need at the right time.
Production Efficiency
Cash gets trapped in the production cycle through work-in-progress inventory, inefficient labor, and unplanned downtime. We put in place financial tracking systems that find these inefficiencies, allowing you to reduce cash drains.
Receivables Acceleration
Customer payments are the final and often most difficult phase of the cash flow cycle. Our receivables management strategies can dramatically reduce the time between delivery and payment, bringing cash into your business faster.
Real-Time Cash Flow Intelligence
Traditional accounting provides a rear-view mirror perspective on your finances. Our honed cash flow management process delivers real-time results and forward-looking projections that allow you to make informed decisions.
We will let you know if we see any potential cash crunches, so you can address minor issues before they become major problems. Equally important, we will highlight cash surpluses that can be used for growth or cost reduction.
Transform Your Finances
At Accounovation, we don't just handle your taxes and do your financial reports - we set the framework for a profitable business growth strategy. With years of manufacturing industry experience and data-driven forecasting, we'll help you identify worthwhile opportunities and find the right areas to help your business grow.
Our Cash Flow Management Process
Our comprehensive approach to cash flow for manufacturing businesses combines proven methodologies:
Step One: Analysis
We start by looking at your current cash flow to find where you are doing well and what needs improvement. This assessment establishes your baseline performance and prioritizes areas for immediate attention.
Step Two: Strategy
Based on this assessment, we develop a customized cash flow strategy addressing your firm's needs. This could include process improvements, policy changes, technology enhancements, and staff training to create a solution that works for you.
Step Three: Implementation
We're not like traditional consultants who deliver their recommendations and then disappear. We will work alongside your team to make positive changes and embed new practices. This hands-on style ensures that your cash flow improvements actually happen rather than remaining theoretical.
Step Four: Optimization
Cash flow management isn't a one-time project - it's an ongoing discipline. We provide regular monitoring and reporting to ensure sustained improvement. As your business changes and grows, we adapt your cash flow strategies to support changing needs and opportunities.
