It was a lucky day when we got introduced to Peter of Best Made Co. I couldn't think of a better comeback story, with a founder who is more passionate about what they do and the quality in which they do it. Kudos to Veronica Kirgios and Junia Estequi for leading our team in value-add to Peter in Finance, Bookkeeping, and Operations... And make sure to go to bestmadeco.com for the brand relaunch!

To all of our D2C and manufacturing connections, one of the keys to profitability while scaling your business is to make sure that your overhead growth doesn't outpace the growth in your gross margin. #profits #overhead #smallbusiness

Is cash tight? Keeping cash flowing for a small business is hard.... (and it's hard for big businesses too!) Here are three ideas to generate some more cash: 1) Negotiate longer payment terms on your payables 2) Open a new credit card but be sure to pay your balance in full when it's due 3) Review your AR and make sure you are getting paid on time #cash #smallbusiness #finance

Did COVID really cause people in the US to flee the cities? And after COVID, did they return? To answer this question, Liliia Solomianchuk and I did an analysis on USPS “Change of Address” data from 2019-2023.

Below is a link to a ArcGIS story map where you can find more information on our methodology or explore the web app on your own: https://lnkd.in/ddiarQ5y Let us know if Webster Pacific can help out with an analysis that would benefit you.

The three paths to grow beyond $1m/yr in revenues for an Ecommerce or Manufacturing CEO: 1. Leverage your business skillset (finance, ops, technology) or study up and develop one 2. Find a guide who has that business skillset so the CEO can stay focused on what they love 3. Grow anyways, in a non-financially stable way, and risk running out of business All CEOs are faced with these three paths. The CEOs that are successful follow paths one or two. If you don't have the desire or background to follow path one, then let's chat about how Webster Pacific can be your guide. #finance #operations #ecommerce #manufacturing

We love the stuff you hate.

Here comes trouble.

Working with Becky Ducsik is a joy! Her interior design business is experiencing exciting growth so she, with the help of Veronica Kirgios and Junia Estequi on the Webster Pacific team, built a robust forecasting model to plot the expansion of her business. We greatly appreciate the opportunity to work with her.
