Article Abstract:

An analysis of a fictitious engineer's financial analysis and management of his startup consultancy called Simple Services Inc will show that companies with cash flow problems typically experience fundamental difficulties with in-house contracting, billing and collection procedures and processes. It shows how little some engineers may tend to think about basic concerns such as pricing, contracting, billing, marketing and cash flow, and how these are related to the very survival of the organization.

Analysis 1: Simon's flawed foresight

Article Abstract:

An analysis of a fictitious engineer's financial analysis and management of his startup consultancy called Simple Services Inc will show that it was destined to fail from inception because of poor financial planning. A careful cash flow analysis at the beginning of the business startup and its update when the firm obtained its first contract would have uncovered likely problems it would encounter such as adverse audit findings.
