VCI’s Process
VCI’s process yields a Corporate Finance department that adds value to the decision making process.
Stage 1
Objective Financial Analysis: Getting your financial house in order.
The VCI process starts with immersion into your current financial practices, staff and culture. Our objective assessment of your strengths and challenges will yield recommendations for value creation and corrective action.
ANALYSIS FUNCTIONS INCLUDE
- We start with an Executive-level assessment of your financial position.
- We will have multiple CEO / CFO drill down sessions on financial reports, cash flow planning, key performance indicators, corporate necessities, covenant requirements and financing options.
- We will develop action plans around corporate finance priorities in need of immediate attention.
- A key deliverable is the creation of forward-looking financial models using multiple scenarios; we tailor the model to each client’s needs, but strongly recommend at least a five-year model.
Stage 2
Tactical Engagement for Profit-Focused Growth: You’ve set the course. Now stay the course.
Having established your baseline path to value, the next step in VCI’s process is to ensure ongoing adherence to that plan. If desired, we could advise and steer the management of corporate finance functions with a consistent CFO-level focus on business strategy and forecasting.
