At a Norwegian company, every question about money had the same destination: the financial consultant's phone. He was the one who knew how much was in the bank — and when the squeeze came, it came without warning.
One of us implemented Beavy CashFlow. Three months later, the CEO wasn't calling anymore: he saw the balance himself, knew which week cash would get tight and renegotiated with the biggest supplier before the squeeze — not during it. The company hired a local finance manager and dropped the monthly consulting.
