About Nate Schrandt

If you are a business owner, I\'d like you to answer these questions: How are you managing your cash flow? Does your A/P process need to be tweaked, shifted, or perhaps revolutionized? Is your A/R where it should be, or do you wish you could get your cash faster? How about your month end numbers - what level of confidence do you have that they are right? What about the timing of month end - is it taking too long to finalize numbers? Do you want to know why it\'s taking so long, or see if there is a way to speed things up? HERE IS HOW I CAN HELP YOU: I partner with CEOs of growing companies to improve the accuracy and timing of their financial information. Every business is different, and I understand that the accounting function needs to support the business operations. But it can be very expensive to hire a full time CFO or high level Controller. I will help take this off your plate so that you can focus on growing the business. I have 15+ years of experience with a wide array of industries. I am a natural born leader and someone who strives to \"listen first\". I care deeply about the employees and clients I work with. I foster healthy working relationships through TRUST and RESPECT.
