What kind of companies do you advise?

We specialize in SMBs looking to professionalize their management, optimize processes and grow with more clarity. We work with companies whose operations have outgrown the way they're organized.

What area do you cover?

We work with SMBs in Villa Mercedes and San Luis, Argentina. Being local means we can be there during discovery and implementation, which is when you need to sit down with the team. Follow-up meetings run remotely or on site, whichever fits.

Which areas do you work in?

We're an integrated consultancy focused on three areas: systems (automation, software and tool integration), finance (management control, analysis, budgets and indicators) and logistics (inventory, planning and operations). The goal is for information and processes to be organized together, not in silos.

What does the process look like?

We start with an assessment to understand how the company works today. Then we design a focused action plan, implement the improvements and support the rollout until the team can run it on their own.

Do I need to replace the systems I already use?

Not necessarily. We first analyze your current tools and look to strengthen, connect or simplify them. We only recommend something new when it's truly needed.

Are the solutions tailored?

Yes. Every SMB has different processes, resources and priorities. We design custom solutions instead of applying a generic template.

How do I get started?

Reach out and we'll set up an initial conversation. One concrete example of what's going on is enough to tell whether it makes sense to move forward and how we could help.

What's the most common financial mistake when starting out?

Mixing personal and business finances and not tracking income and expenses. Without that separation and tracking, it's impossible to know whether the venture is actually profitable.

Financial aspects of entrepreneurship

Revenue, costs, investments, and the basic financial concepts every entrepreneur needs to make informed decisions.

Revenue, costs, and investments

The economic-financial analysis gathers information from the earlier studies and translates it into monetary terms to assess whether the project is worthwhile. Its central tool is the cash-flow projection.

Revenue · Mainly from sales: product price multiplied by the units expected to be sold.
Variable costs · Rise or fall with production volume (for example, the bottles to package a drink).
Fixed costs · Stay the same regardless of volume (for example, salaries or rent).
Investments · Fixed assets (tangible goods), intangible assets (brands, patents), and working capital (to fund costs until revenue comes in).

Other costs to consider

Opportunity cost · The maximum benefit given up by choosing one alternative over another.
Sunk costs · Costs already incurred that can't be avoided even if the project doesn't go ahead.

Basic financial concepts

Budget · An estimate of future income and expenses to allocate resources and set realistic goals.
Profit margin · The gap between sale price and cost; key to profitability and pricing.
Cash flow · The movement of money in and out; ensures liquidity to cover expenses, investments, and debt.
Financial statements · Balance sheet, income statement, and cash-flow statement: the snapshot of the business's financial health.

Key financial advice

Set a realistic budget and adjust it over time.
Separate personal from business finances, with distinct accounts.
Keep a detailed record of income and expenses.
Control costs and cut unnecessary spending without hurting quality.
Make projections and set reachable financial goals.
Carefully weigh financing options before taking on debt.
Invest in your own financial education.
