The GSL Group, LLC provides CFO-level financial consulting services for companies with no full time senior financial managers or for those needing additional bandwidth and external assistance (adding another management layer). This can include development of business plan layout, budgets and forecasts (strategic plans, annual budgets, quarterly updates, cash flow forecasts and sales pipelines) as well as analysis and recommendations (pricing, make vs. buy decisions, client acquisition strategies, financial implications of marketing strategies, and contract structuring).
If you haven’t been funded yet, we also offer capital raising and advocate transaction support (pro-forma financial statement development, due-diligence preparation, etc.). We can even represent you to our growing list of qualified private equity, angel and alternative lending groups. We can also assist with traditional bank financing, such as SBA loans and commercial lending. For companies who have raised seed or follow-on capital, services can include investor communications and board reporting.
Who Could Use It?
- Companies preparing for a significant transaction
- Small to medium size companies that do not require or cannot afford full time CFO-level finance support (fund raising, M&A, major partnership, etc.)
- All companies looking for greater insight, visibility, and efficiency in their operations
