Systematic capital management without unnecessary risk

We help executives in capital-constrained environments build resilience through data-driven cash flow modelling for cyclical industries.

Critical challenges in cyclical industries

Capital constraints demand precise forecasting and risk management

Revenue volatility

Demand cycles create unpredictable cash inflows, making planning difficult without proper modelling tools.

Limited capital access

Tight credit markets and covenant restrictions reduce flexibility when operational adjustments are needed.

Investment timing risks

Committing capital at the wrong cycle phase may lead to underutilization or missed opportunities.

Working capital strain

Inventory and receivables absorb cash during downturns, creating liquidity pressure without advance planning.

Built for decision-makers under pressure

Our methods are designed for executives managing operational complexity with limited financial flexibility

Our analytical framework

Data-driven methodology focused on resilience and transparency

01

Historical pattern analysis

We examine past cycles to identify cash flow characteristics, working capital behavior, and stress points specific to your operations.

02

Scenario-based modelling

Multiple demand and pricing scenarios help assess liquidity requirements under different cycle phases and market conditions.

03

Capital structure evaluation

We review debt capacity, covenant headroom, and refinancing options to identify optimal leverage levels and timing.

Frequently asked questions

We focus on cyclical industries with significant working capital requirements, including manufacturing, distribution, construction, and industrial services. Our methods are most relevant when revenue timing is unpredictable and capital access is constrained.

Initial modelling projects generally span 4-6 weeks from kickoff to final presentation. Implementation support varies based on organizational needs but typically involves periodic reviews over several months.

We work with standard financial statements, management reports, and operational metrics. Historical data covering at least one full business cycle provides the best foundation, though we can proceed with shorter timeframes if necessary.

Yes, many clients choose to retain us for quarterly or semi-annual model updates as market conditions evolve. This ensures the analysis remains current and management has consistent access to forward-looking insights.

All client information is protected under signed non-disclosure agreements. We use secure data transfer protocols and limit access to designated team members only. No client-specific data is shared or used in other engagements.
