“Entrepreneurs can become completely absorbed by day-to-day operations: the unpredictable market, rapid growth or precisely the absence of growth. But it’s crucial to look ahead because otherwise you’re traveling blind. One of the most valuable aspects of my work is helping entrepreneurs see their prospects over the long-term. Looking ahead can be very specific, such as identifying acquisition opportunities or drawing up a liquidity forecast. We also help companies see past the issues of the day by investigating new markets and spotting opportunities for specific products. In our work, we have the privilege of coming into contact with unique companies in a variety of markets. This gives us the opportunity to learn more about their organization and the market in which they operate.”
