Dear Manufacturing Business Owners,
Would you agree that running a manufacturing business has become increasingly tough in recent years?
I'm sure you've felt the pressure…
On top of unpredictable market conditions, you have to deal with supply chain disruptions that can throw your production schedule completely off track…
Not to mention ever-increasing raw material costs that make it hard to know if you'll make a profit on your orders.
As a Trusted Financial Advisor who specializes in helping manufacturing business owners increase profits and stop overpaying taxes… I understand the challenges you face when running your business.
The truth is, one of the biggest obstacles to financial success in your manufacturing business is cash flow…
The worst part is that many manufacturing business owners are unknowingly burning cash in various areas, such as overpaying taxes or spending too much on labor without tracking true production costs.
In fact, I've discovered that there are 7 financial mistakes that manufacturers make when running their businesses.
The problem is, most manufacturers don't know that they have one (or more) of these business-killing problems...
That's why I wrote my latest book…

• The 7 financial mistakes that quietly squeeze margin and cash in manufacturing companies
• The warning signs for each one, so you can check them against your own business
• Simple, clearly labeled illustrative math that shows how a small percentage turns into real dollars
• A practical fix for each mistake you can start on this month
• A one-page self-assessment scorecard to show you where to focus first

Paul Morton spent 2006 to 2023 as a cost accountant, cost accounting manager, and controller inside manufacturing companies, including Celestica, Terex, Lamons, and American Tissue.
His work covered product costing, pricing cost models, month-end close for multiple divisions, budgeting and forecasting, and ERP systems including SAP, Oracle, Syteline, and Infor.
He holds a BBA in Accounting from the University of North Dakota, and works with manufacturers nationwide.
Building the Future, One Part at a Time.
