Boosting Business Cash Flow for College Savings
The Johnsons own a thriving custom furniture business. While profitable, they noticed cash flow inconsistencies, hindering their ability to consistently fund their children's 529 plans and maximize retirement contributions. They suspected inefficiencies in their receivables, inventory, and payables management but lacked a clear understanding of the specific areas needing improvement.
Using the DSO, DIO, DPO Calculator, the Johnsons analyzed their business's operating cycle. The calculator revealed that their Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) was significantly higher than industry benchmarks, at 65 days. By implementing stricter credit policies and offering early payment discounts, they reduced their DSO to 45 days. This improvement, coupled with a slight reduction in Days Inventory Outstanding (DIO) by optimizing inventory management, freed up approximately $35,000 in working capital annually. They also used the Times Interest Earned Ratio calculator to assess their ability to cover debt after these changes.
The financial advisor assisted the Johnsons in inputting their annual sales, cost of goods sold, accounts receivable, inventory, and accounts payable data into the DSO, DIO, DPO Calculator. The advisor then used the results to explain the implications and recommend strategies for improvement.
