Strategic Planning

Every business needs to plan for the future, but many executives are so busy that they never find the time. When you enlist our help, a Shea Labagh Dobberstein principal will give you the tools you need to develop practical business plans and quantifiable goals. Whether your objective is to expand your company, plan for succession, return to profitability, increase your company’s value, divest a portion of the business, or devise an exit strategy, strategic planning is the key to meeting your goals.

Our cash flow consulting will show you where your cash is going and how you can take control of the process. We’ve developed a special report for evaluating cash flow that may surprise you. If you’ve always thought cash flow statements were confusing, or worse, our simple report will change your mind and give you the information you need to make constructive, cash-generating changes.

An SLD principal will examine how much it costs to run your business and explain how your expenses and margins compare to industry averages. We can help you pinpoint which of your expenses are out of line, which add value to the business, and what cost reductions or price increases you need to make. We also make income and cash flow projections, and we’ll set up a simple budget that you can incorporate into your own accounting system to monitor your results every month.
