Purchasing Software: Create Purchase Orders

Darren Cherry – The Exit Planning Blueprint

In this episode, James Kennedy talks with Darren Cherry, Partner at FocusCFO and leader of the firm’s Exit Planning practice, about building a business that thrives without the owner. Darren explains the three reasons companies bring in a fractional CFO, why exits take 12-18 months (minimum), and how to grow value (not just income) by reducing owner dependency, tightening approvals, and installing metrics that drive behavior. He also shares a turnaround story from industrial manufacturing and the mindset entrepreneurs need to scale and sell.

Keith Wright – 90% of Businesses Leave Money on the Table

In this episode, James Kennedy sits down with Keith Wright – procurement leader, author, and founder of K Wright Consultancy – to unpack how professional procurement creates durable profit, not just cheaper prices. They explore Keith’s ACE method (Analyze → Create → Execute), why execution failures destroy value, and practical ways SMEs can uncover 5–6% cost-of-goods savings in weeks. Keith also lifts the lid on his “Profit Booster” scorecard, supplier consolidation tactics, and how to manage cost-price inflation without eroding margin.

Niall White – $10B in Deals: Post-Acquisition Reality Check

In this episode, James Kennedy sits down with Niall White, corporate finance expert and founder at Capstack, to unpack what really determines success after the deal closes. Drawing on a career spanning BDO (Dublin & London), Barclays Capital (funding marquee PE buyouts), and in-house M&A at an Irish PLC, Niall explains why most value is won – or lost – during integration, not at the signing ceremony. They cover how to prepare a founder-led company for sale, structure earn-outs that actually work, and the people/controls you must have in place before, during, and after a transaction.

Is Purchasing a Ticking Time Bomb in your Business?

If you’re responsible for company spending, you'll know that for every purchase made there are hidden costs beyond the price that are not so obvious at first glance. We’ve all heard horror stories about budgets spiraling out of control and fraud going undetected for years.

Your Buyers Don't Have the Tools they Need...

Purchasing is insanely hard to control and a #1 time killer for finance teams... but despite this, buyers have very few software options in comparison to the software options that sales people have to help them stay on top of their processes.

The "Buyers" Software Landscape​Buyers only have a handful of software options.

Purchasing Anxiety is a Real Thing...
