Case Studies

At Sharp CFO™, our success is measured by the success of our clients. Many of these successes can be directly attributed to the expertise of our founder, Michael DiSabatino, whose hands-on approach has transformed numerous businesses.

While we often highlight our achievements with larger companies, we also dedicate ourselves to supporting even the smallest of businesses. This includes local businesses and service providers who aim to make their operations more profitable, meet financial growth expectations, and secure the best tax solutions and asset protection.

Here are a few examples of how our expertise has made a significant difference for businesses like yours.


Case Study: Enhancing Profitability

A mid-sized manufacturing company was struggling with declining profits despite steady sales. Sharp CFO™ conducted a thorough financial analysis and identified key areas where operational efficiencies could be improved. By implementing strategic cost-reduction measures and optimizing its budget, we helped the company increase its profit margins by 15% within six months.


Case Study: Securing Growth for an Electronics Component Manufacturing Company

Sharp CFO™ was engaged as a part-time CFO for an electronics manufacturing company that was reasonably successful but needed assistance in obtaining a $5 million bank loan to ease cash flow during periods of expansion. This scenario is common among small and regional businesses seeking to grow, whether they need $100,000 or $5 million. Without organized financial records and clear projections, securing bank funding can be challenging due to perceived financial risk.

We strategically worked with the company to address financial risks and present solid projections, enabling them to secure the necessary loan. Our approach ensured the company had the financial stability needed to support its growth. Since that initial engagement, we have been retained by the company for over fifteen years, providing continuous strategic financial management.

Our ongoing partnership has involved supporting the company with financial reporting, bank negotiations, and strategic planning. This includes advising on capital asset increases and expanding operations into two additional countries, thereby reducing costs and increasing profitability. Our long-term relationship underscores the value of having a reliable CFO to consult on financial decisions, ensuring sustained growth and success.

One of the reasons for this long-term relationship is not only our comprehensive financial reporting that helps guide them through the ebbs and flows of business, but also our accessibility. We are just a phone call away to help with critical decisions or even the simplest queries. This level of support provides the company with the confidence and security needed to navigate both high and low periods effectively.


Case Study: Strategic Growth Planning

A small tech startup needed guidance to scale its operations and attract investment. Sharp CFO™ developed a comprehensive financial plan and conducted a SWOT analysis to identify strengths and opportunities for growth. Our strategic consulting enabled the startup to secure significant investment and double its workforce, positioning it for long-term success.


Case Study: Risk Management and Asset Protection

A family-owned retail business faced risks related to market fluctuations and supply chain disruptions. Sharp CFO™ provided risk management services, including asset protection strategies and cash flow optimization. As a result, the business achieved greater financial stability and resilience, allowing it to navigate uncertainties with confidence.


Case Study: Safeguarding and Expanding a Power Sports Superstore

Sharp CFO™ was engaged as a part-time CFO for a power sports superstore that was relocating and building a brand-new, ground-up facility at a cost exceeding $3 million. The engagement started with an analysis of liability, as businesses like power sports stores can often find themselves deep in litigation. We first implemented asset protection strategies, providing a baseline for protection.

Once we established this foundation, we worked on creating financial projections to secure construction loans and performed asset allocation for further asset protection, setting up several LLCs to establish a robust strategic protection plan.

Additionally, we implemented cost segregation, which allowed the company to depreciate and write off the building quickly, resulting in improved cash flow during the initial years. This increased cash flow enabled the business to pay down its financing faster, significantly boosting profitability. Our engagement continued for over six years as the company expanded and stabilized its profitability. Eventually, the business brought in an in-house controller to manage ongoing financial operations, marking a successful transition from our strategic guidance to self-sustained financial management.

One of the key benefits for the superstore has been having a trusted financial advisor just a phone call away.

Whether for simple queries or complex financial decisions, having a part-time CFO to guide them has been invaluable. This level of accessibility and personalized support ensures that no matter the size of your business, you have the expertise needed to navigate financial challenges and opportunities effectively.


Case Study: Turnaround Success in a Machine Shop

A 36-employee machine shop, working on military and other contracts, was unable to meet its payroll obligations. When Sharp CFO™ received a call on a Tuesday, the company was at risk of not making payroll by Friday. Michael DiSabatino immediately secured a bridge funding to meet payroll and began a thorough financial overhaul of the company. Within a few months, the company returned to profitability. In the first year, it generated $600,000 in net profits. By the second and third years, annual profits had grown to between $1 million and $2 million. This turnaround was achieved through changes in management's perspective, financial adjustments, and effective asset management. The company had the fundamental strengths needed, and Michael DiSabatino’s expertise transformed these into substantial financial success.


Case Study: Achieving a Profitable Exit for a Performance Automotive Company

Our company was brought into a well-known performance automotive manufacturing business that was losing $50,000 a month and experiencing a severe downturn. The challenge was to revamp the company despite significant resistance from the owner, who struggled to see our vision. We pointed out that his vision was costing $50,000 a month, while our vision focused on achieving profitability.

We developed an exit plan, initially set for five years, but six months into our engagement, the owner received a cancer diagnosis, making our exit strategy even more urgent. Within one year, we turned the company around, earning in excess of $1 million. In year two, profits increased by another 50%, positioning it for market success.

By the third year, we sold the company for $10 million in cash with no holdbacks. This successful exit allowed the owner to retire and live comfortably for the remainder of his life, which, unfortunately, ended just two years after the sale. This case highlights the profound impact of strategic financial management and the importance of timely, decisive action in achieving business success.


Case Study: Long-Term Financial Support for a Prestigious Law Firm

Sharp CFO™ was engaged by a 100-person law firm, well-known and featured in Forbes magazine, to evaluate the company's financial position and progress. Over the past ten years, we have provided continuous support to their financial team and assisted in partner-level decision-making.

Our engagement has encompassed a wide range of services, including strategic financial planning, tax planning, asset management, and critical financial decision-making. Additionally, we have provided guidance on various financial matters, ensuring the firm's financial health and stability.

One of the key benefits for the firm has been having a trusted financial advisor just a phone call away. Whether for simple queries or complex financial decisions, having a part-time CFO to guide them has been invaluable. This level of accessibility and personalized support ensures that, no matter the size of your business, you have the expertise needed to navigate financial challenges and opportunities effectively.

Our long-term relationship with the firm underscores our commitment to delivering consistent, high-quality financial support, helping the firm navigate its growth and maintain its esteemed reputation in the legal industry.
