Jim Huntsman

President, Net Profit, Inc / Management Consultant / For-Profit / Non-Profit /

acdmr9@r.postjobfree.com

Summary

I am an experienced management consultant in the wholesale/retail, automotive, manufacturing, and non-profit

industries. I have held the positions of Controller, CFO and President/CEO.

Having experience in management positions, enables me to understand the issues and concerns business owners

have. "Sitting on both sides of the desk," gives me a perspective many other advisors do not have. I understand

what it takes to run, manage, and grow a business whether it is a for-profit or a non-profit organization.

Examples of work performed for clients include:

*$1.1 million dollar profit turnaround in a one year span.

*Negotiated $300,000 in debt off of balance sheet for a struggling non-profit organization.

*Plant relocations to increase efficiency and revenue for three companies.

*Traveled to Spain to negotiate a multi-million dollar sales contract for a manufacturing company.

*Traveled to China, Mexico, and Canada to set up manufacturing agreements realizing savings of 25% on

production costs.

*Secured a three year title sponsorship worth $750,000 for a non-profit organization.

*Renegotiated an automobile dealers floor plan saving thousands in interest costs.

*Increased sales 45% over a three year period for a manufacturing company.

*Hired a new management team for a struggling manufacturing company.

*Developed a system of accounting procedures for a toy company.

*Refinanced a $15 million line of credit for a growing manufacturing company.

Net Profit, Inc. was founded in 1994. It is a strategic consulting firm which specializes in growth and profit

strategies using my experience in all facets of managing and running a business.
