The quality of information that is presented to management will have an important bearing on the success or failure of a business. To be able to react to the opportunities and problems that continually arise in business, a management team will need accurate information that is delivered on a timely basis.
Our experienced business advisory team can assist with the:
- Preparation of business plans with detailed financial projections
- Cashflow management and reporting
- Preparation of management accounts
- Margin analysis
- Financing assets and working capital analysis
Typical problems that we come across
- Lack of timely and accurate financial information – sometimes critical financial information is not delivered to management in time to forestall serious trading losses.
- Cashflow management – cash is king to the success or failure of any business; however, many business owners are still obsessed with increasing turnover without taking into consideration the cash operating cycle and working capital requirements that can ham-string a growing business.
- Reduction in gross margin – businesses can suffer a fall in margins if they are not reacting fast enough to increases in the underlying costs associated to the products / services they are selling.
- Increased turnover, but profits remain stagnant – insufficient control over overhead costs can adversely affect a business.
