Strengthening the Financial Foundation For Sustainable Growth
Kaizen was founded to solve a challenge facing many growing manufacturers and brands: finance lags behind the pace of the business. After years of partnering closely with operators, we quickly understood how limited visibility, weak planning, and underdeveloped financial capabilities often hold back otherwise strong management teams.
Kaizen bridges that gap. By combining institutional finance experience with an operator’s mindset, we help consumer businesses build scalable financial systems, improve decision-making, and unlock growth.

Growing Manufacturers are Financially Underserved
Operations Scale — Finance Lags Behind
Staffing often prioritizes production and operations, leaving finance under-resourced.
Common Issues Plaguing Manufacturers
Limited team support for the CEO, CFO, and VP of Finance
Senior leaders manage a small, inexperienced finance department focused mainly on budgeting and reporting.
Inconsistent forecasting and poor financial visibility
Reliable financial reports are lacking, hindering the assessment of trends and key performance indicators.
Missed opportunities for refinancing or capital projects
Securing new debt or equity for growth is challenging due to constraints in time and resources.
High cost and inflexibility of W-2 hires
Budgeting for the additional payroll, taxes, and benefits make it difficult to recruit the necessary talent for FP&A.
