 Welcome to the inaugural blog post of Anderson CFO! Our mission is to guide brands towards sustainable growth and help them navigate the challenges that more often than not lead to failure. The reality is that while most Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) brands start with the best intentions, many lack the critical knowledge of potential pitfalls and essential strategies for success.

 It may seem obvious, but companies need to have a deep understanding of if and when they will run out of money.  Insolvency is the inability to meet current obligations.  Even though sales may be increasing, it is possible to run out of money for a variety of reasons.   This causes unnecessary stress for everyone in the company, especially the Accounts Payable staff.

 At Expo West this year, when I asked prospective customers what they were most concerned about, I was somewhat surprised to hear them discuss the difficulties they are having with their Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system.   Having run a CPG manufacturer for seven years where I performed system selection and implementation, as well as production, sales, accounting, and IT, I have spent much time evaluating and integrating different systems.

 One of the most frequent topics that comes up among founders is the basic legal structures and rules that all companies must follow.   Unless you are a lawyer, it isn’t a fun topic.  But it is one that everyone has to deal with.   So much has been written on this topic, but I feel that I can add by dealing with all the basics at once.

 The only thing that is certain is death and taxes.  For corporations, there is even less certainty.  Yet companies cannot operate without an idea of what may occur and the consequences.  There is a range of plausible outcomes, and these must be prepared for.  But how?

 On a recent call with a small business owner who was looking for a Fractional CFO, the business owner proudly said that she had avoided nearly $100,000 in taxes by deducting her inventory as an expense at the time of purchase rather than booking it as an asset.  If she had booked the inventory as an asset (sometimes called capitalization), that would have raised the business’ taxable income, since the expense deduction would not have been taken.  The business was in California, where federal and state taxes amount to nearly 30%.  Understandably, $100,000 is a lot for any small business.  Since she was interviewing me as a potential CFO, she wanted my reaction to this important question for her business.
