But as fractional CFO Gabriela R. warns, arbitrary cuts can have a negative impact in the long-term. "You can't cost cut your way to prosperity," she advises. Arbitrary, across-the-board cuts are risky and can backfire. Instead, Gabriela emphasizes the need for a strategic approach, analyzing each expense's short and long-term utility. "Nothing is off limits," she says, but cautions against cuts that undermine a company's core capabilities and differentiators. Half measures in cost-cutting can be just as damaging. Rather than making partial cuts to every department, leaving employees overextended or insufficiently resourced, make committed decisions to fully cut an area, project or product that no longer make sense for your business. Knowing where to cut also requires robust data. "To assess and optimize costs, you have to understand what kind of data you have." This understanding guides strategic decisions that align with your business model and market appeal. Layoffs aren't the only option. Gabriela suggests alternatives like automation, expense audits, and reallocation. Importantly, cost-saving measures should extend from the top down, maintaining trust and morale. And they should incentivize win-wins where possible, rather than trade-offs that can cause conflict between stakeholders. With the right approach, companies can reduce costs without putting a halt on growth.
