Eight Years in the Making!

I am so excited to announce in today’s blog that I have finally completed a project I have been working on for eight years, and today (August 1, 2011) it is ready for release!

I am talking about my powerful Excel-based business tool, The Financial Management Control Center (or FMCC), a suite of workbooks that cooperate to help you understand your business from a financial vantage point like never before.

Those of you who are Carrier dealers (or know any that I may have taught in the 1990’s) may remember the old “Financial Management” software program I developed and taught for Carrier in the 1990’s. I have letters in my file cabinet from “graduates” of those courses that testify how the software changed their businesses for the better. (One letter even said that the banker was so impressed that the bank agreed to up the dealer’s line of credit and lower his interest rate!)

FMCC is light years beyond where the old Financial Management program could ever go.

With FMCC, you enter data from you latest year-end financial statements into a file called the VAULT. You then activate the VAULT for use to analyze your business.

Three main program groups tap into the VAULT when they run. These groups are:

1. Where We Have Been
2. Where We Are
3. Where We Are Going

In turn, each group drills down into the details using 40 different spreadsheets to explore such things as your financial statements and a detailed ratios analysis (with advice and commentary) to setting a solid labor rate (both installation and service) to service agreement pricing (residential and light commercial) to forecasting and growth planning.

For a full treatment of this powerful new suite of programs and how to obtain a copy for yourself, click this link.  I promise you that you will be amazed and excited by what FMCC can do for you!
