PUBLISHING FORENSICS

PUBLISHING FORENSICS, INC.

If you've landed here, you are probably a book publisher thinking about a financial or operational issue you have and are considering looking for help to resolve it.  It's likely we've seen your issue before and can help you resolve it inexpensively.  What are some of the things we can do for your company:

We can make you more profitable.

We can act as your CFO or COO helping you control all aspects of each discipline.

We can act as an agent for you with investment bankers.  We've done this before many times.

We can help you reduce excess inventory by analysis and adjusting initial prints if necessary to conform to estimated needs based on history.  It takes a detailed study to create a system, but it works, and it works seamlessly.

We can review and suggest changes in author contracts to take advantage of current terms we are aware of in other houses or unexplored terms within your current contract.

We can create systems to take advantage of contract terms currently not being addressed which can increase your profit and cash flow.

We can renegotiate print and paper contracts if you request us to do so.  We've found if you don't ask, or you don't know how to ask, you just don't get.  We know how.

We can set up royalty systems and establish reserves for returns that are fair and will increase your cash flow.

We can modernize your accounting and do bookkeeping if you require it.

We can do business planning.  Use "What if" scenarios to help guide the business in a more business oriented direction without modifying the creative aspects.

And this is just a short list of what we can do to help you increase your cash flow and profit.

I am an expert book publishing accountant and operations person.  I have for instance negotiated distribution agreements, managed warehouses, negotiated printing agreements and paper supplies.  I've created royalty systems, challenged royalty reports for authors and set up books of account for publishers. I've marketed digital rights, created sales programs and sold digital books to educational institutions.  I've either brought in substantial revenue or saved a considerable amount of money in my positions.  I'd like to do the same for you.
