Working capital: how much growth can your company really finance

The management task is to identify which customers, commercial terms or processes are absorbing cash and quantify the impact of changing payment or collection conditions.

  • Accounts receivable and DSO
  • Payment terms and due dates
  • Inventario cuando corresponda.
  • Inventory days where applicable
  • Cash-conversion cycle

Our work in management implications combines financial, tax and business considerations to support practical decision-making.

A single metric is rarely enough.

Value emerges when indicators are read together, compared with budget and translated into concrete management action.
