Cash Flow Management We must understand our cash flow drivers and have a reliable projection of future cash flow before making decisions about how to invest for growth and manage risk. I operate from a cash flow centric rolling forecast that provides monthly projections for the current and next fiscal year. I also rely on a weekly cash flow projection for at least the next 3 months. Capital Structure Our command of cash flow enables us to appropriately secure sources of good capital. I have raised equity capital through private placements with the largest being $10 million gross from 101 retail investors. I have also worked with banks on traditional debt financing options and with start-ups on venture funding. Mergers & Acquisitions I have led the buy-side in two transactions with total consideration of $20 and $40 million respectively. Companies have hired me to consult with them as the buyers on an additional three deals. On the sell-side, I have led three transactions and advised on one. Investment banks have been involved in two of these deals. My experience in this area ranges from sourcing deals, overseeing diligence, and negotiation from LOI to close.
