Two ways to turn revenue into working capital, and the one question that tells you which you actually need. Most digital media operators go looking for digital media financing at one of two moments. The first is when the work is done and the money just isn’t here yet.

The CFO’s Four C’s of Capital: Sourcing, Allocation, Reporting, and Management
The CFO’s job, at its core, is the stewardship of capital across four linked functions: where it comes from, where it goes, whether it is working, and whether it stays healthy. Get the framework right and every dollar that enters or leaves the business has a job, a return to beat, and a place to land. The CFO’s job, at its core, is the stewardship of capital across four linked functions: sourcing it (where funding comes from), allocating it (deploying it for the highest risk-adjusted return), reporting on it (the metrics that show whether it is working), and managing it...
