Company Financial Services
At Polestar Management Group (PMG) we provide you and your team the resources necessary to move your business to the next level through a hands-on guided approach. As businesses grow, so does the financial and accounting complexity, and it becomes more difficult to get a clear understanding of how your business is performing. PMG will ensure that your company’s reporting contains data that is accurate and useful so that management can be confident in their decision making and focus on running their business.
Small companies need strong financial management as much as large companies do – sometimes even more due to a smaller margin of error. PMG provides companies with on-site experienced CFO services on an as needed basis. PMG tailors it’s programs to your needs whether that is a 1-day per month engagement, a more involved program that is two or three days per week or a one-time special project.
PMG’s expertise is in cash flow management and budgeting/forecasting, cost accounting, cash flow improvement, profitability analysis and trend analysis of actual and future revenues and costs. We use this information to help senior management with strategic planning, daily management, funding alternatives and mergers and acquisition decisions. Our team takes a roll-up-your-sleeves attitude in our effort to help companies achieve their goals and eliminate surprises.
PMG has a strong network of professional contacts in banking, private equity, accounting, legal, insurance and human resources and is able to assist owners with critical business decisions.

John and the PMG team provide a wide range of experience and services:
Our team is able to take a deep dive into a company’s operations and financials and identify problem areas for improvement as well as areas of strength to be targeted for growth. We are experienced in utilizing financial information to drive improvements in operations.
By developing and reviewing key performance indicators with owners and key management, we have assisted companies that lost money in prior years to maximizing cash flow and profitability.
Once a company’s key drivers are identified, we work to develop standardized, reliable reports to help the executives manage day-to-day operations.
We recognize that no matter the size of the business sustainability begins and ends with cash flow. PMG has improved the cash flow at its clients by implementing cash flow projections and better cash management strategies.
PMG specializes in actively engaging senior management team members to facilitate cross-department collaboration in support of company and customer needs.
We have significant experience working with internal staffs, analyzing and controlling distribution costs, manufacturing expense, material economics, sales, pricing, and overall profitability and cash performance.
We have overseen the implementation of new accounting software and training of the accounting staff.
The PMG team has substantial private equity and M&A experience and has helped maximize the value received upon the sale of companies by working with them to improve their financial position and then supporting the due diligence and sale process.
Our team has also been intimately involved in the purchase of companies as well: developing financial projections, providing and meeting with funding sources and directing the due diligence process.
