What does Bill do for his clients?

Financial Health Checkup

If you're having a hard time getting a bank to yes to your loan request, it may be time to understand why.  The Financial Health Checkup is an important piece of our suite of small business consulting services for business owners.  It starts with a full analysis of the last three years of financial statements of your company.  We look for trends in your balance sheet, income statement and cash flow.  We look for changes in your leverage, liquidity, profitability and activity to draw conclusions on your overall financial health.  

 Loan Packages

You're busy.  You don't have the time or the understanding of what your banker needs in a loan package.  You need help from a professional.  McDermott Financial Solutions provides loan packaging services for business owners.  We partner with you to put together a loan package that is complete with all the relevant information your bank needs to make a quick decision.  

Bank Presentations

Presenting to a banker can be hard.  You don't know what to say or how to say it. What information is important and what isn't.  You're looking for a veteran to help you as a small business consultant on bank presentations.  That's where we come in.  Once you have identified the banks you'd like to present to, we partner with you to make a bank presentation either for you or with you to obtain the financial services you need to take your company to the next level.  If for some reason your current bank is unable to grant your request, we utilize our resources of banking contacts from 30 years in the industry to find an alternative solution.  We are passionate about finding the right strategy with the right banking partner at the right time to insure your company's success.
