"What If...?" Case Studies

From History to the Future – Where Business Owners Live

Every business owner has one burning question: “What happens next?”


That’s the shift Strata:G® makes possible.

Each of the Strata:G Profit & Cash Flow Calculators is built around industry-specific cash flow levers—whether that’s managing receivables, improving inventory turns, controlling labor expenses, or streamlining operating costs. To bring these levers to life, we’ve created Sample Companies, each modeled in its own Strata:G Calculator.

Service Business - Local Auto Care

Restaurants - The City Grill 

Professions - BSG Engineers

Each of these real-world dialogues show you how to make Strata:G a client-engagement tool, not just a calculator. They’re designed as practical, evergreen resources you can refer to repeatedly—not just case studies to skim today.

"The Bucketizer" Expense Buckets

Turn Accounting Data Into Management Information 

There IS a simple trick to make sense of all the accounting detail on the typical P&L. Re-organize those individual line-item expenses into major "buckets" of expenses.

By grouping expenses into these "buckets", you immediately turn P&L data into management information.

Now, it becomes easy to:

•  monitor expenses;

•  make comparisons to prior years;

•  quickly spot which buckets of expenses are increasing. 

And, take full advantage of playing "What If...?" with the Strata:G P&L and Cash Flow Calculators!
