Profit Guard Case Study: The Right Foundations

Discover how our business advisory services enabled a high-end metal fabricator to transform a six-figure loss into a six-figure profit in just one quarter, thanks to our tailored CFO services and effective financial strategy.

challenge

Profit Guard engaged with two ambitious owners of a high-end metal fabrication company that had built a strong reputation in their community and maintained a steady stream of client orders. Despite their success in securing work, profitability had become a serious concern. The business had recorded losses in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, with projections pointing to an even greater deficit that year. When the company sought business advisory services to develop a robust financial strategy and applied for a loan to expand capacity and reduce per-unit manufacturing costs, the bank declined the application, citing financial performance as the key obstacle. Without that injection of capital and the guidance of CFO services, the business was caught in a frustrating cycle: high demand but limited ability to scale profitably.

Profit Guard’s Strategy

Profit Guard approached this project by first identifying high-impact areas, then delving deeper into financial and operational efficiencies as part of their business advisory services. Key steps included: 



Clarify Targets: Define shortcomings and future goals with leadership to enhance the financial strategy.


Bridge the Gaps: Examine cost estimates vs. actual expenses to optimize CFO services.


Rebuild Estimating: Align pricing models with desired profit margins to improve profitability.


Reinforce Value: Reassure leadership that higher prices wouldn’t drive clients away, ensuring confidence in the financial strategy.


Set Priorities: Streamline cost accounting, purchasing, and sales to regain control over financial operations.

Execution

Conducted an in-depth review of the company’s estimating process as part of our business advisory services, identifying where pricing failed to reflect true production costs. 


Introduced a refined pricing model aligned with profitability targets and client value perception, enhancing the overall financial strategy. 


Reorganized financial records to ensure greater visibility into cost accounting, purchasing, and sales performance, which is essential for effective CFO services. 


Created a monthly dashboard to track progress toward profitability goals and highlight priority actions for each 30-day period. 


Guided leadership through data-driven decisions as part of our financial strategy, demonstrating where price adjustments could be made without sacrificing client retention. 


Established new internal procedures to sustain financial clarity, reduce inefficiencies, and maintain long-term profitability through our business advisory services.

Results

Within three months, the company transitioned from operating at a substantial loss to generating a six-figure profit, thanks in part to effective business advisory services. Improved estimating and pricing procedures brought cash flow into the black and significantly increased gross margins. Enhanced visibility into financial data allowed leadership to make faster, more confident decisions, supported by strategic CFO services. The company successfully secured a bank loan, providing the working capital needed to expand operations. By strengthening their financial strategy, the business gained long-term stability and a clear framework for continued growth.
