Clear answers about financial control, growth and business value.

Revenue growth does not automatically create more profit. Costs may rise faster than revenue, margins may be under pressure and some customers, products or services may be less profitable than expected. Impact Growth Partner identifies where profit and margin are leaking and where action is needed.

Profit and cash flow arise at different times. Revenue may already be recorded while the customer pays later. Cashflow Control makes cash movements, payment dates and potential shortfalls visible in advance.

We combine a current cash-flow overview with a forward-looking forecast and concrete actions. This helps you see financial pressure earlier and decide where to intervene.

Growth often requires investment before the additional revenue is received. Good planning shows how much cash growth requires, when pressure will arise and how much working capital is needed.

Look beyond revenue and profit to cash flow, margins, debt, working capital, customer dependence and predictability. Together, these factors provide a more realistic view of financial strength and risk.

Value leaks are issues that reduce profit, cash flow or business value, such as weak margins, inefficient processes, limited pricing control, customer concentration and excessive owner dependence. A Business Diagnosis makes these issues visible.

That depends on the business model. Revenue growth, gross margin, operating result, cash flow, debtor days, working capital and revenue per employee are often relevant. KPIs must match the company’s objectives and risks.

We normally use recent financial figures, a budget or forecast and information about customers, services, margins, costs, organisation and strategic objectives. We agree in advance exactly what is needed.

No. Her expertise is issue-based rather than sector-based. She supports SME owners across industries who want scalable structures, stronger margins, predictable cash flow, less owner dependence and a stronger basis for sale or succession.

A Growth Partner programme starts at €999 per month excluding VAT. The final investment depends on complexity, rhythm and the guidance required. The one-off Value & Exit Readiness Scan costs €3,499 excluding VAT and includes four working sessions, analysis, a report, presentation and improvement plan.

Impact Growth Partner helps growing SMEs gain control over cash flow, profitability, management information and business value. Financial information is translated into concrete decisions, priorities and actions.

Guidance is particularly suitable for growing SMEs that lack financial control, need better management information or are preparing for investment, succession or sale.

This can be valuable when revenue grows but cash flow and profit lag behind, decisions rely mainly on intuition or reliable management information is missing. Support can also help with investments, organisational changes and sale preparation.

A bookkeeper or accountant focuses mainly on administration, filings, annual accounts and accountability. Impact Growth Partner uses financial information to look ahead at cash flow, profit, forecasts, KPIs, strategy and business value. The roles complement each other.

Collaboration starts with a no-obligation introduction to discuss the situation, objectives and bottlenecks. A Business Diagnosis is usually the next step.

A Business Diagnosis is a financial and strategic review. We bring cash flow, profitability, management information, organisation and risk together. You receive insight into value leaks, clear priorities and a substantiated next step.

Yes. The guidance can compare family succession, transfer to employees or management and a sale to an external buyer.

A company is better prepared when cash flow, margins, capacity, working capital and future investments are visible. Reliable management information and clear responsibilities also matter.

Business value can be strengthened by improving profitability, predictability, cash flow and transferability. Lower customer dependence, good management information and scalable processes can also help. A higher value can never be guaranteed.

Preferably start at least two years before a possible sale or succession. Improvements in profit quality, processes, customer diversity, management information and organisational independence take time.

Weekly when cash is tight. In a stable situation, monthly is often sufficient, provided differences between forecast and reality are discussed.

No. A profit forecast tracks revenue and costs; a cash-flow forecast tracks actual receipts and payments.

It varies by sector, business model and risk profile. Assess margin in relation to costs, investment, risk and the company’s objectives.

Revenue remains relevant, but gross profit and contribution margin show more clearly what growth contributes before fixed costs.

At least monthly and, for project businesses, preferably after every completed project or important milestone.
