Sal Burd

Partner at the prominent management consulting firm, helping private companies

I'm the guy that consulted with several electronics re-marketing companies to manage skyrocketing growth, build and consolidate domestic and international operations, and assist owners with exits. How did I do it? That's easy, because that's what I do...Need another one?

I am the guy that helped a struggling manufacturer and reseller of uninterrupted power supply systems, to fix cash flow, organize its management team and introduce better banking relationships, before and during pandemic. So what? you ask... I can do that for your enterprise. Cause that’s who I am.

If you are serious about transforming your company and your life, let’s talk.

Typical Questions

Many business owners and CEO’s of many companies, in various industries, companies of different sizes, ask similar questions:
• How do we secure or improve our company’s cash flow?
• What will happen to our working capital if we change our process, add product or people, enter new markets or acquire new facilities?
• Is our bank right for us? How do we change the structure of the banking relationship or increase our lending limit?
• Why can’t we keep more of the cash we generate with incremental sales?
• What is the value of the company we are building?
• How do we sell our company or buy another company to grow ours?

These are just a few sample questions that I get to answer. Since every business owner is unique and each company and industry is different, solving each puzzle is both challenging and rewarding. My passion is helping business owners solve their puzzles.

What’s Next?

Our process starts with a free Discovery Analysis™. If your business has 25 or more employees or more than $10 million in annual revenue, we can start with a telephone call or a Discovery Analysis™ at no charge (see contact form at bottom). A Discovery Analysis;™ will include bench marking your company's financial information against your industry, similar size and general location companies, analyzing the metrics you track, looking at your information systems, and providing a confidential report of key findings. It will also include proposed strategy and timelines for implementation of the strategy.

How do I Work with Your Company?

I am a strategic consultant, and as such, I work with you and your staff to transfer my knowledge to the enterprise. My typical engagements are long term in nature, but it really depends on the puzzle you want to solve.

Do You Have to Use My Services?

I work with you on a “handshake” basis. The Discovery Analysis™ is a free assessment report that you keep. It contains an agreement between us, not a contract.

My Career

I began my career as a CPA with Arthur Andersen & Co. in Chicago in the mid-80’s. In late 80’s, I moved into private industry, working as a Controller for a large industrial equipment distributor. After a few years, I changed my career and, while completing my MBA, went to work for Merrill Lynch wealth management group. I was at Merrill Lynch for 5 years. As part of the curriculum at Kellogg, my classmates and I helped an entrepreneur write a business plan, which was later acquired by a publicly traded electronics manufacturing company, Dauphin Technology, Inc. As one of the authors of the plan, I was recruited for a role of CFO for Dauphin. 6 years later, after leaving Dauphin, I served as the CFO of Tezzaron Semiconductor company, role that lasted for 6 years. My last full-time job, before joining B2B CFO® as a partner, was as a Director of International Operations for Belmont Trading Company. In that role I was responsible for profitability and operations of companies in Latin America, middle east and far east.
