The greatest challenge for growing companies is the management of cash flow. Attaining and successfully maintaining a $100M to $1B level of sales requires new financial structures, new culture, new infrastructure, new customer strategies, even new sales + distribution networks. Often, the leadership DNA must evolve with new board and c-suite talent, as the blueprint that builds the first years of company success can become the very barrier that limits further growth.

TechYES Growth Strategies is a Florida-based consulting services partnership that provides C-suite advice and strategy. Our team has a track record of successfully helping nurture companies from startup through billion-dollar revenues. We leverage our experience and resources to help corporations understand their barriers, to discover, map, integrate, and successfully implement new business structures, and to achieve unprecedented capacities for operation, production, sales and revenue.
