Business Failure Is Sickening

Maybe you are aware of this. We sure are! 

Way too many small businesses are just fumbling along. 

Worse yet, way too many of these business owners are failing, going bankrupt. 

And when a local business fails, it affects a host of people and entities.

  • Not only do employees lose their jobs, and landlords lose a tenant, and suppliers lose a customer, and a community loses a driver of its economy...the owner(s) oftentimes lose their house, car, savings, everything. 

Business failures are sickening. That’s why we have built BusinessStrata-G.com for accountants, bookkeepers, and CPAs. 

Why do businesses fail?! 

They fail financially. They run out of cash. 

How did that happen? 

They didn't see their alternatives, their options, in advance. They don't know that every business owner, not just "the Big Guys," can easily do "What if...?" projections of Profits and Cash Flow.

Funny, but those that do that kind of financial modeling tend to not fail! 

  • Instead, they see where changes are needed. 
  • Then they compare the financial outcomes of different adjustments, and decide what changes to make. 

Ahh, what a concept! All based on the fact that if you can see the brick wall ahead, you probably won't drive into it.  

  • All it takes is access to an accountant who goes beyond just documenting what has happened in the past. 
  • A forward-looking accountant who is using the Strata-G Toolkits to proactively help owners look to their future. 

Granted, doing integrated financial projections will not save every business. 

But showing owners the brick wall ahead, when they still have time to adjust, does have its advantages!

Surely your clients deserve the opportunity to avert failure! And maybe see golden opportunities!

  • The Risky Promise of "Advisory Services"

    In the past, CPAs and accountants were behind-the- scenes running the numbers, keeping everything in compliance, and focused on taxes. But today, business owners want a “business advisor”. The problem is: you are not an expert in their business. You’re an expert in accounting. Offering "business advice" comes with a risk of culpability.

  • Unlock New Revenue Streams

    We believe there’s a huge, unmet need among business owners for advisory services based on numbers, not opinions. And accountants and CPAs are perfectly positioned to take advantage of it. But, you need the right tools to do the job right. That’s why we created the Strata:G Toolkits for CPAs, online at BusinessStrata-G.com. We have a vision for what an accountant COULD be.

  • A Difference-Maker for CPAs

    At their core, most accountants aren’t motivated by numbers, they’re motivated to help people. They want to be seen as a valuable resource, not as a commodity that’s easily replaced. And frankly, your expertise – that financial insight and perspective – is what clients want from their accountants, to be applied to the future. That's where Strata-G Toolkits come in.
