Mastering Cash Flow for Small Manufacturers by Chris Thomas, Blue Oak Consulting  
Wednesday, January 14, 2026 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
Virtual

Cash flow is the lifeblood of any machining or job shop — yet most owners don’t get clear visibility until there’s already a problem. This session is built specifically for small manufacturing businesses (under $10M revenue, lean teams), and focuses on how to understand, track, and improve cash flow without needing an accounting background.

What We'll Cover:

  • Why cash flow and profit aren’t the same — and how that difference affects your shop
  • How to forecast cash easily (weekly or monthly)
  • What metrics matter most
  • Simple ways to get paid faster and delay outflows
  • What to expect from your bookkeeper (and the questions to ask)
  • Why accurate books are essential

Chris Thomas, Fractional CFO & Profit Accelerator, Blue Oak Consulting
Blue Oak Consulting delivers strategic financial leadership and actionable insight to manufacturing and industrial support businesses, including logistics, maintenance, and other service-driven sectors. We partner with business owners to create clarity, strengthen cash flow, and build long-term profitability.
