frequently asked questions

  • Our process begins with an in-depth consultation to understand your business, goals, and challenges. We then develop a tailored advisory plan, offering expert support and transparent communication every step of the way. Each project receives senior-level attention, with a focus on achieving your financial objectives efficiently and effectively.

  • All client relationships and engagements are personally managed by Jesus Gonzalez, Jagzen’s founder and principal. With over 25 years of deal-making, CFO, and valuation experience, you can expect expert leadership, steady communication, and a commitment to delivering high-impact results for your business.

  • We support clients at every stage of their business life cycle—from start-up or distress, through growth and optimization, to transition or exit. Whether you need financial infrastructure, help with expansion, risk management, or preparing for a sale, Jagzen provides the guidance you need when it matters most.

  • Days 0–30: Stand up the 13-week cash forecast, baseline SKU/customer profitability, and set the weekly KPI cadence.

    Days 31–60: Execute sprints on pricing/mix, collections, and waste/terms; activate deal readiness if relevant (model + data room).

    Days 61–90: Lock in governance, publish a lender/board pack, and—if pursuing a transaction—run sensitivities and diligence prep. Expect tangible wins like DSO ↓ 10–20 days, GM ↑ 150–300 bps, and a forecast you can run the business on.

  • We design fees to align with outcomes and stages. Most work uses a fixed monthly retainer for CFO/operating cadence, and project-based pricing for transactions, valuation, or restructuring (with clearly defined milestones). For certain deal mandates we may include success-based components per industry norms. Before kickoff you’ll receive a written scope, timeline, owners, and deliverables—no surprises.

  • Confidentiality is non-negotiable: we use NDAs, least-privilege data access, and secure document rooms. We conduct a conflict check before accepting any engagement and will not take work that compromises your interests. If multiple stakeholders are involved (e.g., lenders, potential buyers), we establish clear information protocols and governance so everyone understands what’s shared, when, and why.
