Ever feel like your business is making money, but your bank account never shows it?
You’re not alone. A lot of businesses run into cash flow problems even when sales are strong. The issue? Money is getting stuck somewhere between making a sale and actually getting paid.
That’s where Cash Conversion Cycle Optimization comes in. We help you speed up the time it takes to turn work into cash—so your business runs smoother and stronger.
In plain English: it’s the time between spending money to run your business and actually getting that money back in your bank account.
Here’s how it works:
You buy materials or pay for services (cash out)
You do the work or sell the product
You send an invoice
You wait to get paid (cash in)
If that cycle takes too long, you’ll always feel like you’re behind—even if you’re profitable on paper.
We look at your full workflow and help you spot the slow spots. Then we build a plan to tighten things up and speed up your cash flow.
That means:
Reviewing how long it takes customers to pay
Helping you shorten payment terms or set up deposits
Automating invoicing and follow-ups
Fixing slow or manual billing processes
Helping you manage inventory smarter
Showing you how to pay vendors in a way that protects your cash
Creating better systems to track what’s owed and when
The goal? Less waiting. More cash in the bank.
You can’t pay rent or payroll with “pending” invoices. When your money’s tied up in unpaid work or inventory sitting on shelves, your business feels stuck.
One client in Memphis had 45-day payment terms with their customers and was barely breaking even. We helped them shift to 50% upfront payments and cut the average payment time to 21 days. Their cash flow doubled in less than 3 months.
Cash conversion cycle optimization is especially helpful for:
Contractors and service businesses with long projects
Product-based businesses holding inventory
E-commerce brands with supplier delays
Freelancers and agencies sending out delayed invoices
Anyone who’s always asking “Where did the money go?”
You don’t need an MBA to fix your cash flow. You just need someone to help you see the full picture—and suggest changes that actually work.
We won’t throw buzzwords at you. We’ll just ask the right questions, look at your numbers, and show you how to speed things up.
We’re based in Seattle and help clients in Portland, Memphis, and across the U.S. These reviews and fixes work great over Zoom—we’ll share screens, walk through the numbers, and show you what’s really happening.
If your sales look good but your bank account doesn’t, something’s slowing your money down.
We’ll help you find the bottlenecks, tighten things up, and turn your work into cash—faster.
No fluff. No complicated reports. Just clear, useful changes that keep your business moving.
