Personalized 1-on-1 financial coaching

The consumer packaged goods industry is experiencing unprecedented transformation. Over the past few years, we've witnessed a remarkable phenomenon: established CPG companies executing multiple strategic pivots as they navigate through increasingly complex market dynamics. The challenges are manifold – from persistent labor shortages and supply chain disruptions to escalating material costs and volatile carrier relationships. Add to this the growing complexity of last-mile delivery costs, and it becomes clear why success in today's CPG landscape requires a sophisticated approach to channel strategy.

Navigating the financial landscape as an early-stage Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) brand can be daunting. With limited resources and the need for rapid growth, founders often struggle to find the right financial tools that are both effective and affordable. In a recent webinar hosted by Naturally New York, Alice Zhang, co-founder and CEO of MyPocketCFO, shared invaluable insights on how startups can streamline their financial operations without breaking the bank.

The CPG industry is a whirlwind of excitement and challenges. You're passionate about your product, driven by your vision, and constantly innovating. But amidst the thrill of launching new products and securing retail partnerships, there's a critical element that can make or break your success: mastering your CPG finances. Long cash conversion cycles, fluctuating raw material costs, retailer payment terms, and the constant need to reinvest in inventory can feel like walking a financial tightrope. This isn't just about bookkeeping; it's about building a solid financial foundation that can support sustainable growth.
