Challenge
– The company experienced high growth and strong market demand but
lacked a robust financial infrastructure and transformative
strategic leadership
– Reliance on fewer than five core clients created significant
revenue concentration risk
– Accounting processes were disorganized and unreliable, hindering
both financial visibility and investor credibility
– Additional capital was needed to scale operations, diversify the
client base, and establish a foothold as a long-term market leader
RLA F.A.S.T.™ Approach
– Financial Realignment & Controls: Assumed the CFO role,
instituting rigorous financial controls and structured reporting
to bolster transparency and investor confidence
– Accelerated Capital Raise: Led negotiations for an investment
that balanced operational flexibility with sustainable growth
– Streamlined Accounting & Reporting: Executed a transformative
overhaul of the accounting system—transitioning to GAAP-compliant
accrual accounting, automating reporting, and optimizing cost
tracking
– Targeted Client Diversification: Expanded the client base from
under five to more than fifteen, significantly reducing revenue
risk and stabilizing cash flow
Outcome
– Secured the necessary capital, negotiating, structuring, and
executing a competitively priced term debt over a 10-year period
to enable rapid growth in operations and customer acquisition
– Reduced customer concentration risk, creating more predictable
revenues by more than doubling the customers over the last
trailing twelve months (TTM)
– Built a transparent, scalable financial reporting system,
supporting continued growth and investor relations
– Optimized the company’s capital structure, ensuring an efficient
balance between debt and equity to support sustainable
expansion
– Introduced merger and roll-up opportunities, enhancing the
company’s transformative growth strategy
