Stratdel brings financial readiness, cash flow, liquidity, debt, and capital strategy into one practical plan – helping you strengthen financial performance, prepare for refinancing, and make capital decisions with confidence.
Stratdel brings financial readiness, cash flow, liquidity, debt, and capital strategy into one practical plan – helping you strengthen financial performance, prepare for refinancing, and make capital decisions with confidence.
Stratdel does not stop at analysis. We build the 13 week cash flow forecast, clarify debt and covenant exposure, and shape the refinancing plan - then stay close as the work moves forward. You work directly with a senior operator who connects the numbers to billing, collections, inventory, and the decisions that actually move cash.
Stratdel helps leadership see where cash is going, what is tying it up, and which decisions matter first. Our working capital management and liquidity management work brings debt, cash, forecasts, and operating drivers into one clear view.
The goal is practical control, not another spreadsheet. Cash flow forecasting becomes a weekly management tool, while the 13 week cash flow forecast gives leaders time to act before a shortfall, covenant issue, or refinancing deadline becomes urgent.
Engagements are led by a Stratdel fractional CFO, with COO and CIO support where operations, systems, or reporting affect the outcome. The work can stand alone or sit inside an existing fractional leadership engagement.
Good liquidity management starts with an honest read on where cash comes from and where it goes. We build a fact-based view of cash generation, working capital, debt, and maturities — isolating the few issues most affecting liquidity and financing options, so leadership works from evidence, not assumptions.
Working capital management frees the cash already inside the business. We target the receivables, payables, inventory, and billing practices that lengthen your cash conversion cycle, then help finance and operations change the routines behind them — releasing cash without straining key relationships.
Cash flow forecasting only helps if it’s current and connected to reality. We build a rolling 13-week cash flow forecast and the weekly liquidity management cadence around it — minimum headroom, disbursement priorities, and early escalation — so leadership acts weeks ahead instead of reacting.
Refinancing readiness means approaching lenders from strength, not distress. We bring every balance, rate, maturity, and covenant into one view, test headroom under realistic scenarios, and define the improvements lenders will expect — sequenced, with owners and a credible story.
The right capital structure balances cost, flexibility, control, and risk — not just the headline rate. We compare financing alternatives on the terms that actually matter and their covenant implications, giving leadership a direction it can defend to lenders and the board when a major capital decision is on the table.
Financial modeling services turn uncertainty into decisions. We connect your income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow, then stress-test the scenarios that matter — slower sales, tighter margins, slipping collections, rising rates — producing lender- and investor-ready reporting and a living tool for capital decisions.

A refinancing is easier to control when the preparation starts before the lender request arrives. Stratdel builds a clear view of debt, maturities, covenants, coverage, and liquidity management, then identifies the reporting and operating improvements lenders will expect.
The readiness plan sequences the work, assigns owners, and strengthens the financial story behind the request. It may include a 13 week cash flow forecast, lender-ready reporting, covenant scenarios, and a clear explanation of how working capital management will support repayment.
Stratdel's financial modeling services connect the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow so leadership can see how decisions affect liquidity, debt capacity, and growth. The model is built around the business, not a generic template.
We test the questions leaders are actually facing: What happens if sales slow, margins tighten, collections slip, rates rise, or a major investment moves forward? Cash flow forecasting and scenario planning make the tradeoffs visible before a decision is locked in.
The model becomes a living decision tool for refinancing, capital allocation, board discussions, or growth planning. It also gives the team a stronger foundation for ongoing liquidity management and more disciplined updates as conditions change.
Creates a clear baseline of cash, working capital, debt, and the operating drivers that should shape priorities.
Gives leadership near-term visibility and a working tool for weekly cash decisions, disbursement priorities, and minimum headroom.
Targets the receivables, payables, inventory, and billing practices that can release cash and shorten the conversion cycle.
Consolidates every obligation, rate, covenant, and maturity so refinancing pressure and timing are visible early.
Tests compliance and coverage under realistic scenarios so leadership can address pressure before it becomes urgent.
Defines the financial, reporting, and operational work lenders will expect, with owners, milestones, and a clear sequence.
Compares financing alternatives on cost, flexibility, control, risk, and covenant impact.
Builds an integrated model for planning, scenario testing, capital allocation, and lender or board discussions.
Presents a concise, credible financial story supported by forecasts, analysis, risks, and clear management actions.
Establishes the weekly review, decision rights, reporting, and escalation needed to keep cash discipline in place.

Representative engagement - IT services. Revenue was growing, but cash remained tight. Debt was expensive, project billing varied by team, and leadership lacked a dependable view of the next several weeks.
Stratdel built a 13 week cash flow forecast, strengthened working capital management, organized the debt and covenant picture, and introduced clearer cash flow forecasting. With a practical refinancing plan and lender-ready reporting, leadership could make decisions earlier and approach lenders with a more credible story.
This example reflects the kind of situation Stratdel is prepared to lead. Client names, figures, and results are included only when approved.
Capital & Liquidity is often led from the fractional CFO seat. When the work points to operating performance or margin issues, it connects to Operations & Scale; when it supports a transaction, it connects to Mergers & Integration.
Leaders call Stratdel when cash, debt, or a financing decision needs senior attention that will not fade after kickoff. Their feedback reflects the value of candid guidance, direct involvement, and practical follow-through.
Working capital management is the discipline of managing cash tied up in receivables, payables, inventory, billing, and other short-term operating accounts. It matters because a profitable company can still run short of cash when money moves through the business too slowly.
Stratdel's working capital management work identifies where cash is getting stuck, quantifies the opportunity, and helps finance and operations change the routines behind it. The aim is durable cash improvement, not a one-time squeeze.
Liquidity management gives leadership a reliable view of available cash, expected inflows and outflows, minimum headroom, and upcoming pressure points. It turns cash from a month-end surprise into a regular executive conversation.
Stratdel establishes the forecast, weekly review, decision rights, and escalation process behind effective liquidity management. Leaders know what changed, what needs attention, and which actions protect the business without creating unnecessary disruption.
Cash flow forecasting estimates when cash will actually enter and leave the business. A 13 week cash flow forecast is especially useful because it is detailed enough for weekly decisions and long enough to show payroll, debt service, tax, vendor, and collection pressure before it becomes urgent.
Stratdel builds the 13 week cash flow forecast with the team, tests the assumptions, and creates the routine to keep it current. The forecast becomes a management tool for liquidity decisions, not a spreadsheet that is built once and forgotten.
The strongest improvements come from fixing how work moves, bills, collects, and pays - not from pushing every customer or supplier harder. Cleaner invoicing, fewer billing errors, clearer collection ownership, and thoughtful term management often improve cash without harming trust.
Stratdel connects finance and operations so the changes make sense for the commercial relationship. The goal is a healthier cash conversion cycle that the business can sustain, not a temporary cash grab.
Refinancing readiness is the preparation completed before approaching lenders: a clear debt and covenant view, reliable forecasts, lender-ready reporting, and a credible plan for the financial and operational issues that affect repayment capacity.
The work should begin before the maturity date or covenant issue becomes urgent. Starting early gives leadership time to improve the story, test options, and enter lender conversations with facts, ownership, and a realistic plan.
Stratdel's financial modeling services typically connect the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow, then test the assumptions that matter most. That may include growth, pricing, margins, collections, interest rates, capital spending, debt capacity, and covenant headroom.
These financial modeling services are built for decisions, not presentation alone. Leadership can compare scenarios, understand tradeoffs, and update the model as conditions change instead of relying on a static annual budget.
A fractional CFO is an ongoing executive seat with broad responsibility for finance, cash, capital, reporting, and the finance function. Capital & Liquidity is a finite engagement organized around a defined result, such as a refinancing, liquidity stabilization, or decision model.
The two often connect. A client may begin with focused Capital & Liquidity work and later add ongoing fractional leadership, or a fractional CFO may surface the need for a dedicated engagement.
No. Stratdel is not a lender, broker, or placement agent, and it does not earn commissions from financing. The role is to prepare the company with sound analysis, structure options, forecasts, and lender-ready information.
Stratdel works alongside the company's banking, legal, tax, and transaction advisors. The company keeps its existing relationships while gaining stronger preparation, clearer decisions, and more disciplined execution.
Cash visibility usually comes first. A clear liquidity view and an initial 13 week cash flow forecast can often be established in the first weeks, depending on the quality and availability of the underlying information.
Working capital improvements, refinancing readiness, and financial modeling services develop against agreed milestones. The early priority is to create control and protect liquidity while the deeper changes take hold.
Choose Capital & Liquidity when the central issue is cash, debt, covenants, cash flow forecasting, liquidity management, or refinancing readiness. Choose Operations & Scale when the central issue is productivity, process consistency, cost-to-serve, operating structure, or EBITDA performance.
The two may run together, especially when operating changes are needed to support a refinancing. Stratdel defines the smallest integrated scope that can achieve the outcome rather than forcing the problem into one service line.
When cash is tight, debt is expensive, or a refinancing is approaching, leadership needs a clear view and a practical path forward. Stratdel builds the forecast, strengthens working capital management, shapes the capital plan, and stays involved as decisions become action.
Strategy creates direction. Execution creates outcomes.
