Anyone know where I can find working capital benchmarks (ie. DSO, DIO, DPO) by industry? Ideally a free/legit source.

I mean there are generally going to be industry norms, but every business is different. You can ask ChatGPT for ballpark figures, but this is something you have to unpack depending on what type of work you’re doing — understanding how inventory is sourced, type of customer relationships, etc.

If you acquire inventory from overseas, depending how you track inventory (FOB), that can add 10-30 days just because of time on water. If you’re a distribution business with recurring sales to customers and amounts are due upon invoice, you’ll have very short DSO. Just kinda throwing out examples.

Since I do expect a slow down to occur in the short term, and I've noticed other firms pushing people to audit and other services with need, would it be rude to preemptively reach out to restructuring partners before my firm pushes us to audit? I really don't want to work in audit like at all. I'd prefer to stay in FDD, but I'd much prefer restructuring over audit
