New Insights.  More Resources.  Better Results.

Are you a business owner, CEO, CFO, or executive who wants to improve the financial success of your company and yourself personally?

We help frustrated business owners/presidents drive better results through dramatic new insights on performance and better use of all their financial resources- people, capital, technology and reporting.  In particular, we turn finance from being the brake in your "vehicle" to an accelerator that empowers your people.

Prospects tend to feel one or more of three major frustrations:

• Challenged by the stage they are in- whether it be rapid sales growth, declining sales or trying to get off the ground
   
• Upset that they don't have the information they need to run their business or what they do get is wrong or comes in too late to act on
   
• Worried about their financial resources- either they don't have what they need to run the business or feel they are wasting excess capital in resources like receivables or inventory
   

Hi, I'm Jon Paul and I am delighted that you came to visit us.   If you are concerned that your company or a company that you deal with isn't yielding the kind of profits it could, Value Added Finance Resources can help. We uncover blind spots that others miss and then use those insights to help drive superior results. It's not about us.  It's about you.  We would love to meet with you, listen to your needs and help you decide if there is a fit.  When there is a fit, we often find benefits far beyond what either of us could have anticipated beforehand.  Give us a call at 847 372-1963 and let's talk.

Here are a few of the results we have helped companies to achieve.

• A near bankrupt pharmaceutical firm, that had originally lost 110% on sales, was turned around to earn 56% after-tax on sales 4 years later.  The firm was then sold is now a public company under the new owner.
   
• A toy company realized over 400% growth in just one year and earned its first profits.  Later the company was merged into a larger firm in the industry.
   
• A high growth telecom firm to reduce bad debts from 55% to 5% of sales.  The company later sold to a strategic partner for about 40 times its valuation before.

Imagine the pleasure you could get from your company functioning at peak performance - where finance is an asset that lets you get the most out of your strengths in service, manufacturing, sales or development-

What makes us distinct?

• Many years of top management experience in more extreme situations than most people ever face- like 400% sales growth in one year on one hand ... to turning around a company days away from bankruptcy to earn profit levels rarely seen (56% net income on sales).  We put our experience to work for you by relating to what best fits your situation.
   
• We have technical skills that go well beyond most finance people.  Among other things, we get great insights from data drawing upon our skills as expert programmers in Microsoft Excel.  We also have overhauled or put in place entire computer systems that empowered people throughout the organizations.

What does that mean?

1. We uncover things that otherwise get missed.  We ask good questions and get good insights from your data as well.

2. We figure out the solution.  With the blind spots out in the open, we can then get you back on track.

3. We help implement the solution.  We have the skills and the network to help finish the job for you.

The bottom line is often much more dramatic results than expected going in. 

What's In It For You?

In the most extreme cases, we help save the company, the job for the president and the capital for the investors.  In many cases we help the presidents earn more money and have more fun on the job, knowing that the finance area is in good hands and allowing them to focus more time in areas they enjoy.
