Catch It Before™

Understand the financial case before you start or expand.

Before you commit, understand the profit potential, cash required and financial downside of your plan. CatchItBefore provides focused management consulting through fixed-price business financial analysis of a specific decision. Both packages include a written report and a review with Joe.

The Core Philosophy

Assumptions meet unvarnished reality.

A plan rests on assumptions about customers, prices, costs and timing. Financial analysis shows what those assumptions mean for profit, cash required and downside. It supports your decision; it does not guarantee demand, profit or complete business validation.

Why an Independent Perspective Matters

The decision is always yours.
Our job is to help ensure it's an informed one.
We are not invested in a particular answer.

An outside perspective helps you examine the assumptions behind a decision. Joe Goldman brings experience in technology, operations, global project management and management consulting to a focused financial question. You receive findings and conclusions without hiring an ongoing consultant.
