How a Cash Conversion Cycle Audit Reveals Hidden Working Capital

In this episode, Lucas and Luna walk through a practical cash conversion cycle audit using a real small manufacturer example: a specialty coffee roaster that cut its cash-to-cash cycle from 72 days to 34 days without a loan. They explain how to calculate each component — days inventory outstanding, days sales outstanding, and days payable outstanding — and show the exact levers the roaster pulled to free up $43,000 in working capital. Listeners will learn why the cash conversion cycle is more revealing than a static balance sheet, how a 48-hour invoicing delay cost this roaster $1,400 a year in hidden float, and why supplier payment terms are the most underused lever in small business finance. No generic advice — just a case you can apply to your own business by Tuesday. #CashConversionCycle #WorkingCapital #SmallBusinessFinance #InventoryManagement #Receivables #Payables #DaysInventoryOutstanding #DaysSalesOutstanding #DaysPayableOutstanding #CoffeeRoasterCaseStudy #Business #Finance #CashFlow #SupplyChainFinance #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #CashFlowConversations #WorkingCapitalOptimization Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
