American Management is a consulting firm offering small business advice for cash management, debt restructuring, business turnaround and growth strategies. We conduct the Business Survey™ to assess strengths and weaknesses in business management, and deliver a Blueprint for real profitability.

We implement profits over a 6-18 month period working shoulder-to-shoulder with owners by installing Pay-for-Performance programs, cost controls, margin improvements, sales expansion and financial/manufacturing/distribution improvement systems.

We work with owners for an additional 6-12 months, free of charge, to ensure that initial profit gains are fully implemented and sustained.

Turn Arounds - We immediately attack cash issues, meet with bankers and creditors, focus on whatever steps are necessary to right the ship and avoid bankruptcy or liquidation.

We speak the family business language and understand that family business owners face a unique set of issues when it comes to balancing family and business needs. We are committed to helping you focus on achieving real profits, because a wealthy family is a happy family.
Whether you're a third generation family business who is struggling to transition leadership, or an established manufacturer whose sales force has lost motivation in a slow economy, American Management Services can utilize 25 years experience consulting small businesses of all kinds, in more than 400 industries, to help you realize more profits, better cash flow and an improved quality of life.
Over the last 25 years, we have worked with thousands of family businesses, representing more than half of our clients. We have seen many businesses struggle to survive into the second and third generations and many founders forced to put off retirement indefinitely. We have also seen business issues drive apart families and family issues bring down businesses. We believe that removing family issues from the workplace can not only improve both your professional and family life; it can also help you achieve the goals that you set for your company.
Our professionals spend six months to two years with each family business, getting to know the real issues they face.
From high tech to manufacturing, restaurants to contractors, wholesalers to retailers, and dealerships to distributors - American Management has worked with companies across virtually all industries.
Whether we are on Main Street, USA or the back roads of rural America, we have uncovered and solved problems impacting the business profitability and cash flow. Most importantly we have implemented sustainable profit management and cash flow management programs for businesses in over 400 industries. Our clients represent enterprises from a diverse list of industries, including: Architectural Firms, Construction/Contractors, Distributors, Engineers , Grocers, Manufacturers, Pharmacies , Printers, Publishers , Restaurants, Retail , Sales, Service, Wholesalers
