Overview

Pasadena Landscaping faced the classic industry challenge: boom times in the spring and summer, followed by severe cash flow crunches in the winter. They were often forced to take on high-interest short-term loans to cover payroll during the off-season. We stepped in as their fractional CFO. Our first move was to implement a robust 13-week cash flow forecast, providing visibility into upcoming cash needs. Next, we conducted an equipment profitability analysis, identifying machines that were costing more in maintenance than they were generating in revenue. By selling off underperforming assets, establishing a cash reserve during peak season, and adjusting their pricing model to account for true overhead costs, we helped them achieve a theoretical 30% increase in net margins.
