Working Capital Mastery for CFOs: Playbooks to Shrink CCC, Free Cash, and Scale Without Debt (The Modern CFO Series)

Cash flow is not an outcome. It’s a strategy.

Every profitable business eventually faces the same challenge — growth that outruns liquidity. Working Capital Mastery for CFOs reveals how to convert your company’s cash flow from a reporting number into a strategic engine for speed, confidence, and growth.

Drawing on two decades of CFO experience across manufacturing, trading, logistics, and infrastructure, Amit Dharmendra Singh, Chartered Accountant (ICAI), breaks down the playbooks that separate cash-intelligent companies from cash-strained ones.

Learn how to:

Shrink your Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) — and measure what really drives liquidity.

Turn receivables, payables, and inventory into synchronized cash levers.

Free up hidden cash without restructuring or borrowing.

Build finance–operations alignment that fuels sustainable growth.

Whether you lead finance, operations, or strategy, this book gives you practical, real-world tools to transform working capital into your most powerful competitive advantage.
