Cash flow management

Maintaining working capital and cash flow is very important in the day-to-day working of any company. The important areas of maintaining cash flow are account receivables (AR) and account payables (AP). To explain in simple terms, AR is managing the income and AP is the expenditure.

The consultant must enable the finance professionals to easily get this information and make this analysis extremely simple for end users.

A private company may also decide to go public. This calls for a huge exercise and involves several external entities, such as lead managers, underwriters, registrars, and investment bankers. Analytics play an important role in such a scenario.

Decisions involving pricing and stake dilutions call for analysis on several parameters and requires lot of slice and dice. External data can also play a big role in deciding the timing and other economic factors which can make an Initial Public Offering (IPO) a success.

A consultant must be aware of such scenarios and be prepared to provide next level analytics to make it very easy for the companies.
