About
Over 35 years in energy, banking, manufacturing and trade finance, and on two supervisory boards, I’ve seen that the cash a business needs is often already inside it: in inventories, receivables and payment terms. My work is to find it, measure it and release it. Let’s dig into your numbers together and see where the liquidity hides!
All it takes is five figures from your latest annual report: revenue, cost of sales, inventories, trade receivables and trade payables.
Measuring and benchmarking the cash conversion cycle, then turning inventories, receivables and payables into a concrete liquidity plan.
Structured trade finance and funding that fit how the business actually trades, including across borders.
Traceable, practical tools for finance teams. CCC Tool is my own.
Working capital check
Enter five figures from your latest annual report and see your cash conversion cycle in seconds. Everything is calculated in your browser: nothing you enter is sent or stored.
Inventories + trade receivables − trade payables
Move the sliders to see how much cash a shorter cycle would release.
Ratings use indicative cross-industry ranges and year-end balances; real benchmarks depend on your sector. This is an estimate, not financial advice.
This is a quick estimate from five figures. CCC Tool goes further: every figure traced to its page in the annual report, real sector peers, cash release scenarios and a handy one-pager.
Thought Leadership
Perspectives on AI, working capital, and the transformation of global finance.
"The convergence of AI and structured finance is not a distant horizon — it is the defining challenge of our decade. Finance leaders who embrace intelligent automation, predictive analytics, and AI-driven working capital optimization will not merely survive disruption; they will be the founding fathers of the next generation of value creation. My experience across energy, banking, manufacturing and trade finance has taught me that the fundamentals never change — but the tools that execute them must evolve relentlessly."
