Yes, Strata-G Calculators are different. Here's why!

"Our clients love them. But, those Strata:G Calculators are really different, aren’t they?"

Yes, we agree. Strata:G Toolkits are different. 

  • They are for Big Picture pro forma projections, not granular analysis. 
  • They’re for building relationships with clients.
  • And get this: they are built specifically for working WITH owners of businesses, as we've done for years. 

While they are sophisticated financial modeling tools, owners are quickly engaged by Strata-G's dynamic and immediate "What if...?" comparisons of P&L and Cash Flow impacts.

First, some background:

  • We are long-time financial strategists for business owners, not a technology company.

  • The clients for our long-time consulting practice are owners of independent businesses, many motivated by the appeal of being their own boss.

  • But as the business grows (or not), owners can become swamped with demands on their time, their patience, and their judgment. Not to mention their bank account!

As owners ourselves, we live with all that. We understand. And we believe accountants and bookkeepers and CPAs will understand as well.

We've also learned that our clients aren't looking to us to tell them how to run their business. (Nor would we look to our clients to tell us how to run our business! Would you?!)

  • But what we DO offer our clients is showing them Big Picture insights of pro forma P&L and integrated Cash Flow projections.

  • And that's it! Just show them the numbers! Without judgment or suggestions.

Then, be ready. Without missing a beat, most owners will quickly propose new tactics. “What would happen if I…?”

  • No problem. We can just as quickly show them that outcome. On the spot. In the meeting or Zoom session. These Strata-G Calculators are remarkable!

Talk about capturing the owner's interest! Seeing projected P&Ls and integrated Cash Flows sure does it!

Here’s why. We concentrate on the Big Picture stuff. 

That’s how Owners (and Presidents, and CEOs) think about their business. They appreciate how Strata:G is essentially their financial Executive Summary. 

Plus, let’s admit it: that Big Picture stuff opens the door to a monthly client(!) And a great business relationship.

  • Owners are eager to take advantage of seeing more "what if...?” scenarios, as they focus on what's ahead, or evaluate potential changes or opportunities.

  • Our clients find these monthly meetings are dynamic. Interactive. And well worth paying for!

  • It’s likely yours would too.

Yes, Strata-G IS different.

If building relationships with business owners appeals to you, let’s talk. You can reach us via email, or Zoom session. Or go directly to BusinessStrata-G.com.

But, make it snappy! Business owners everywhere are facing an unrelenting conveyor belt of issues that continually need this kind of forward-looking financial insight.

  • 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.
