Stronger businesses.
1271 helps tree-care owners understand profitability, plan cash flow, and make better decisions about pricing, people, equipment, and growth.
The decisions ahead
The next decision deserves more than a guess.
1271 helps you work through those questions with a clearer view of the numbers and the operating choices behind them.
Profitability
Which types of work are the most profitable?
People & capacity
Can the business support another crew?
Equipment
What would a new piece of equipment change?
Cash flow
How much cash needs to stay in the company?
The work
Financial information,
put to work.
Plan cash.
Look ahead at the cash required for operations, equipment, debt payments, and owner needs. Test assumptions before committing to a decision.
Evaluate the next move.
Consider the financial implications of a pricing change, another hire, a larger purchase, or a new direction.
Follow through.
Turn the discussion into a focused action plan, with clear responsibilities and a regular review of progress.
How we work
Start with a clear picture.
Build from there.
Establish the baseline.
Every 1271 advisory relationship starts by establishing the financial baseline. The 1271 Client Baseline & Diagnostic brings together the financials, operating context, goals, and decisions ahead to identify what matters most and where better information is needed.
Set the priorities.
Agree on what needs attention first, what information is missing, and what actions are worth taking over the next 90 days.
Keep the process moving.
An ongoing advisory relationship adds a regular review of performance, cash needs, decisions, and progress.
A decision, made clearer
What would adding another crew actually require?
The answer starts with more than another payroll expense. Consider the work available, expected revenue and direct costs, equipment needs, the cash required to get started, and what happens when the assumptions change.
