Apex Analysis

We give owners a clear view across four lenses that matter most: financial health, client stability, workforce productivity, and operating systems.

The Apex Analysis™ reveals the truth about where your business is today.

You get an in-depth review of margins, cash flow, client concentration and retention, and employee utilization, with a list of actions that move the needle now.

Financial Clarity

We analyze your financial health to ensure transparency, reliability, and readiness for growth or sale.

Margins and Profitability

  • Break down revenue, COGS, and net profit margins to see which products or services and clients actually drive profit

  • Identify pricing gaps, discounting patterns, and hidden cost leakage

  • Model the impact of price adjustments on both top line growth and bottom line margins

Cash Flow and Liquidity

  • Map out how cash moves through the business to predict gaps before they hit payroll or vendor payments

  • Highlight AR and AP cycles that quietly stall growth

  • Evaluate whether working capital is sufficient to support reinvestment, hiring, or acquisitions

Client Revenue Stability

  • Assess churn, retention, and concentration risks to show how stable (or fragile) the client base really is

  • Quantify the impact of losing one major client on growth and margins

  • Evaluate lifetime value of clients compared to acquisition costs

  • Identify which clients are expanding relationships versus those at risk of attrition

Utilization & Sustainability

We quantify how time, labor, and resources are being used, and uncover the levers to realign operations with financial outcomes.

Employee Utilization and Capacity

  • Measure how effectively team hours convert into production and revenue

  • Pinpoint underutilized roles and overworked employees, reducing burnout and inefficiency

  • Align staffing models with workload forecasts to prevent costly mis-hires

  • Create benchmarks for utilization by role to set clear productivity standards

Productivity and Delivery Gaps

  • Compare capacity versus workload to uncover bottlenecks that limit growth

  • Evaluate whether new hires or process shifts are the smarter fix

  • Provide visibility into which projects consistently run over budget or schedule

Retention and Growth Impact

  • Show how team performance links directly to client retention, expansion, and profitability

  • Build department-specific dashboards that connect labor investment to financial outcomes

  • Analyze employee turnover and its impact on both cost and client satisfaction

  • Identify where training or role specialization can unlock higher output

Workflow Alignment

We provide you with a roadmap of which tools to consolidate, upgrade, or replace to streamline operations.

Tech and Tools Audit

  • Identify redundancies, gaps, and integration issues in your current systems

  • Recommend scalable tools that eliminate manual reporting and reduce error rates

  • Assess whether technology is being fully leveraged or underutilized

Workflow Automation

  • Replace repetitive admin tasks (onboarding, reporting, billing) with automated workflows

  • Free up employee capacity and ensure consistency across client delivery

  • Shorten cycle times for critical workflows, boosting speed and client satisfaction

Leadership Visibility

  • Create dashboards that tie finance, operations, and sales into one view

  • Enable real-time decision-making with data that’s simple to access and easy to interpret

  • Provide forward-looking reports instead of backward-looking summaries
