Top Six Reasons to Hire QRV as your "Lean CFO"
Set goals within a set time frame. Do you have goals but aren’t sure how to measure or track them? Work with Janet, your Lean CFO, to create your budget, job costing system, and project plans.
Operate efficiently. With Lean Methodologies in mind, Janet will work with you to identify areas of wasted time, money and effort. She will work with you improve upon internal processes to make sure all employee and business activities are aligned with providing true customer value as defined by the customer.
Secure better financing packages. With accurate and on-time financial reporting, you demonstrate to your lenders your ability to control your business finances and your ability to strategically plan for paying back your lenders. This builds a trusting relationship between you and your lender which is advantageous to securing better financing packages.
Gain the profit advantage. While you are busy managing the day-to-day operations of the company, work with Janet, your Lean CFO, to deeply analyze your profit and loss statements. With an objective eye, Janet will uncover sharply raised direct and indirect costs, sales trends, and opportunities to positively impact your bottom line.
Plan for long term strategic growth. When competing for large contracts, if you're not in a stable financial position, Janet, your Lean CFO will work with you to strategically prepare for that large contract. With an eye on developing a lean infrastructure, Janet will help your company grow and develop so that it may manage that large contract six months, a year, or two years down the line.
Partner with an experienced manufacturing professional. What happens when a consultant "suit" comes into your shop and professes to know how to "fix" your shop? They hand you a big contract for thousands of dollars for only a few days of work. Their methods don't work because they don't understand your business. They simply haven't taken the time.
Janet's background is unique because she can relate and she does take the time to know your business. Through the years, with her former metal parts manufacturing shop, she has experienced recessions, customers moving to China, managers coming and going, family-ownership issues, cash flow issues, etc. She is second-generation PM and there are nuances in business that are invisible to those that don't have the experience. See Janet as your partner. Not as a consultant or a "suit."

"Janet Johnson's knowledge, professionalism, and business management abilities coupled with her extremely effective communication skills will make a positive impact on any company or organization.
With her take-charge attitude, she led High Tech Sintered Metals through its initial ISO 9001:2000 registration which was found compliant with zero non-conformances identified. I have participated in more than 20 such registration procedures in my career and - thanks to Janet - that was the first time I witnessed perfect initial compliance."
Steve Meyer
General Manager
High Tech Sintered Metals, Inc.
"When I first met Janet she had just taken control of a family-owned manufacturing company with significant organizational and accountability challenges as well as the pressing need to bring antiquated front-end systems up to date. I was hired by the company to help achieve its ISO 9001:2000 registration. As soon as we began, Janet took immediate initiative to learn the requirements. With ready cooperation and quick enthusiasm she assembled a motivated team of employees to help her and they set to work. One of her feats was confirming then scanning all up-to-date customer information into a new system - after sorting through old, obsolete and dirty files mixed in with new customer files - to improve information retrieving efficiency by 70%.
Though it takes most companies years to earn their certification, in just six months Janet attained the company's registration with flying colors on the first try. And it was a pleasure working with Janet. She likes challenges, she understands what's needed to solve problems and she gets the job done. She's patient and skilled at motivating diverse personalities to act for the betterment of all and she really loves what she does!"
