Services

Are you a CEO who needs Johnston Company's services?

Every company should have a way to track spending, and to generate forecasts of revenue, spending, and burn rate that tie to fundamental drivers of the business. If the president is doing these things now, it is likely detracting from other priorities. If no one is doing these things, Johnston Company can help you.

Johnston Company can help a CEO who:

  • Has no CFO in place, or has one who is really more of a controller, and not an active thought partner to the CEO.
  • Is managing fast growth, and needs a grip on pricing, margin, distribution channel, collections, sales pipeline, funding, and cash burn, and how all these interact.
  • Is managing the shrinkage or the re-launch of a business.
  • Wants better ways to hold managers accountable for forecasting results and delivering them.
  • Is wondering how to staff the accounting function.
  • Wants to have more productive Board meetings, and more credibility with the Board.
  • Wants to position the business for sale or new funding.
  • Is saying, "I want to do things differently in this business."
