Case Study

Increasing Valuation and Operational Efficiency for a Family-Owned Roofing and Siding Business.

Client Overview

A family-owned roofing and siding business with over 10 years of experience was preparing to increase its business valuation in anticipation of a future sale. Despite having a solid branding and successful marketing efforts, the business struggled with operational inefficiencies, disorganized workflows, and a workforce stretched too thin. The owners sought expert guidance from AccelerateGrowth45 to streamline operations, boost profitability, and maximize the company’s overall value for a future sale.

Challenges

The business had an inefficient bookkeeping workflow and lacked clear visibility into key financial metrics such as cash flow and profit margins. This made it difficult to make informed decisions and hindered growth.

The business suffered from disorganized workflow processes, leading to miscommunication, delays in receivables, and inefficiencies in service delivery. Additionally, the business was operating too lean, with a limited workforce unable to meet growing demand.

The business had maxed out its operational capacity with the current team, leaving the owners overwhelmed with day-to-day tasks and unable to focus on strategic planning. This hindered their ability to implement growth initiatives and increase the long-term value of the business.

Solutions

AccelerateGrowth45 worked closely with the business to clean up its financial process and implement more efficient accounting workflows This included:

  • Operations audit to understand the gaps, course correction and proposal for the way forward.

  • Regular financial reporting, giving the owners better control and insight into their financial performance.
  • Identifying areas of financial waste, particularly in inefficient project management and operational costs, and restructuring them to improve profitability.

With clearer financials, the owners were empowered to make more informed, data-driven decisions that set the foundation for growth and increased business valuation.

  • Improving Workflow Efficiency: AccelerateGrowth45 overhauled the business’s internal processes to reduce inefficiencies. This involved implementing standardized workflows and project management systems to ensure smoother operations, reducing delays and eliminating miscommunication.
  • Workforce Expansion: To handle increased demand and facilitate growth, the business was advised to hire additional technicians. This workforce expansion allowed the company to take on more residential and commercial projects without compromising quality.

By streamlining workflows and expanding the team, the business increased its capacity to complete projects on time and improve service quality.

  • Building Cash Reserves: With a more organized financial system, AccelerateGrowth45 helped the business build cash reserves, preparing for slower seasons and any unforeseen operational challenges.
  • Long-Term Valuation Growth: The business focused on creating sustainable profitability by improving operational efficiency and expanding its workforce.

Results

By streamlining operations, increasing workforce capacity, and improving project management efficiency, the owners gained time back to work ‘ON’ the business focusing on consistent revenue growth and increasing the overall value of the business.

The combination of cleaner financials, improving operational inefficiencies, and expanded workforce capabilities will lead to a projected increase in net profit and consistent revenue streams.
