MarginIQ: find out in ten days where cash and margin are going
In brief. MarginIQ is Big4PM's diagnostic for owners whose results or liquidity no longer match expectations. In ten working days our team establishes the real position of cash and margins, identifies the causes, and sets out three costed scenarios and an action plan.
Who it is for
- A company profitable on paper but short of cash.
- Margins falling without a clear explanation.
- A bank asking for forecasts or explanations.
- An owner preparing a capital decision who needs reliable figures first.
What you receive
- A two-page summary for the owner.
- The real financial position: cash, working capital, debt, margins by activity.
- Key risks ranked by impact.
- Three costed scenarios.
- A prioritised action plan.
How it runs
| Days | Step |
|---|---|
| 1 to 2 | Data collection and interviews with the finance team |
| 3 to 7 | Analysis of cash, margins and working capital |
| 8 to 9 | Scenarios and action plan, reviewed by a second senior |
| 10 | Presentation to the owner |
If the data needed is not available within the first 48 hours, the mission stops at no cost.
What comes next
A MarginIQ diagnostic often feeds a Capital Decision Review or a reset of financial control with ControlIQ.
