Your Virtual or Part-time Finance Director
The Problem
You just want to understand if your company is doing well or not and someone to help you make the right decisions. You want some valuable information and you want to know if you are achieving your plans and goals. You are not sure if you are pricing your services at the right level and you want the comfort of knowing what will be happening in your business and with your cashflow in the future, you are fed up with just looking at things historically, you want some comfort that your actions will result in certain financial gains.
Your external statutory accountants are great; they prepare your statutory accounts for you, do your VAT returns and just make sure that legally you are returning everything when you should. But they don’t understand your business, what is going right and what is going wrong and where to focus your and your management team’s time.
What do you need?
You want a trustworthy high calibre and commercially experienced business accountant to work alongside you guiding you and your team to make the right decisions for the future health of your business. You want to not only ensure that the day to day activities of finance are running smoothly but that you can review the performance of the business in a snapshot and have the relevant information at your fingertips.
It is critical that you and your team members all understand what direction the business is going and how it is going to get there. What you all need to do now and in the future and how well you are actually doing that.
- Wouldn’t it be comforting to know that all the different parts of your business are running like a well oiled machine and not pulling in different directions, costing the business precious time and money?
- Do you want some peace of mind that your business is still going to be here in twelve months time when times are difficult, prices are increasing and there is a threat of recession?
- What is your strategy, have you translated it into a business plan that everyone understands and are you measuring if you are performing in accordance with that?
- Are you confident of the decisions you should be making if you start to deviate from your strategy? Would you know if you were deviating?
The answer to all or some of these questions is you probably won’t know or will be unsure but it is key to your business success that you understand.
