Consulting Business Tools
Free to download and use but a small disclaimer! These tools are here for you to use at your will, but we do not provide technoical support for the Sales Pipeline Forecasting Tool or the Gross Margin Modeller - see our terms and conditions for using this kind of content on our site.
Self assess the profit risk and equity value opportunities in your business. This takes no more than 5 minutes; you’ll walk away with a feeling for where the profit growth risks are in your business and an appreciation of its equity value. You may already know where your problems and opportunities are, but perhaps this will put some structure into your thinking!
You will get a PROFIT RISK RATING, a RADAR CHART like this on your right, a guide to your EQUITY VALUE and an explanation of what it all means to help your business decision making.
The predictability and reliability of future sales and profits is vital if you're going to get the best value when you sell your firm, but nonetheless imperative for cashflow management. Using this tool and the discounted pipeline process it incorporates, we've managed to achieve well above industry standard accuracy of +/- 20% at 6 months out and +/- 10% at 3 months out.
If you do not wish to invest in a costly piece of software, then give this tool a try.
Delivering average or ‘above average’ profits from your consulting firm is one of the main factors that drives up equity value.
Many firm owners don’t realise that it is GROSS MARGIN that savvy trade buyers look closely at when assessing the worth of a consulting firm. As it is quite a common experience for us to look at a set of consulting accounts for the first time and see NO MENTION of Gross Margin, we felt it worthwhile to help firms with this excellent tool that took us 3 weeks to build!
