Cash Flow

The lifeline of any business is cash flow.  The quality of the projections and assumptions used in the management of your business will directly impact its success.  Keeping abreast of your business expectations, while having a contingency plan to fall back on, is the best insurance for continued prosperity.

The Economy

Most sectors of the economy are performing poorly.  The extent varies from a few percentage points to over thirty-percent drop in revenues for many industries.  While it is simple to identify certain industries that are the most impacted, such as housing, autos and trucks, and most industrial capital equipment, there are contrary examples in each segment.  The winners are easily identified as those that react to changing conditions and understand that business as always is no longer a winning formula. 

Profits

It is easy to mask profits with growth, cash flow or pour-over from product lines.  Critical analysis is the only way to determine if your company is achieving profitability or just spinning its wheels.  At DeMar & Company we take the time to understand your processes and procedures and their impact on your profit evaluation analysis.

Taxes

Taxes can have both a positive and negative impact on your business.  Congress recently expanded the rules for claiming refunds due to business losses.  There are several options available to businesses to maximize the tax refunds available for losses.  Businesses facing a decline in profits can also reduce the estimated taxes throughout the year.  These are just two of the many current tax issues that can benefit you.
