Every two months, we host a seminar series that tackles the details of building and running a successful action sports or fashion industry business.
We started the series earlier this year because we deal with so many companies that are running through the same obstacle course as they move toward growth. We wanted to invite executives in for topical discussions about the issues that they likely will or are facing as they grow their businesses.
So, the purpose of the Moss Adams Capital Spotlight Series is to assist business leaders in understanding and addressing a range of issues most businesses face in early and advanced stages of growth. We want to help build awareness of such issues so managers can devise plans to overcome obstacles on their path of growth.
We invite industry executives to our Irvine offices for a morning seminar that takes you deeper into the nuts and bolts of running a successful business.
For instance, in September, we gave executives an overview on public-company valuations and the correlation to private company valuations. We showed how to benchmark your company relative to the performance of peers to compare gross profit percentage, sales per employee, management compensation, operating income and other key indicators.
We also talked about the pros and cons of monetizing a private company’s brand equity – when, and how, to get the best yield to match your goals. We examined direct-to-consumer models, licensing, hybrid sale/license transactions and selling a brand or a company to private equity or strategic buyers.
We’re hosting our next Spotlight Series seminar on Dec. 2, and we hope you’ll join us.
We’ll tackle:
• Your financial model: We’ll take a deep dive into the details of a business today, and how to create a blueprint for planning the details of a company’s growth.
• ERP Systems: We’ll examine how to manage the business of your business.
• Year-end tax strategies: We’ll help you discover income tax savings in your receivables, inventory and other key accounts.
More than 25 executives from more than a dozen companies have attended each of the first two Moss Adams Capital Spotlight series events.
