Mihai Bârsan, Entrepreneur and Investor
“As an entrepreneur, you inevitably ask yourself: is it really worth working with a financial consultant? Can’t you do the analyses on your own?
What you actually need is an objective perspective, from outside the emotional involvement that you simply cannot avoid when you are fully engaged with your own company and team.
Especially when you are working on ambitious plans that pushes your resources to the limit.
That was exactly my situation recently. I reconnected with Dan Toader, Ph.D., one of the most experienced analysts I had worked with at Ursus Breweries, who has been running his own independent practice for several years now. It felt like ‘everything suddenly became clear.’
In times of recession, almost everything we think we know changes. Strategic options shift, time horizons look different, and risks return to the fundamentals: cash flow, capital structure, leverage, dependence on customers and suppliers, changes in cost structures, and more.”
