Just how is your business going? Do you know where your business is really at? Are your financial statements prepared just for the ATO, or do you use this information strategically?

We check the financial position and operational performance against industry benchmarks to gauge performance. If there are issues or areas for improvement, we offer a detailed investigation of issues and causes and provide clear, achievable steps to get back on track.

Phase 1: The first phase is a short, quick review of a business, looking at its financial position and performance, to identify the key issues that are affecting the company’s performance and viability. The review will assess the company’s financial position and its solvency, and will identify areas that require further investigations.

Phase 2: The second more detailed phase will give you a thorough understanding of where you are Now and probe you on where you want to be. It will identify areas that you can capitalise on and those that will need adjusting to achieve your goals. From here you will have all the info you need for strategic planning.

It is very likely that there are inefficiencies and waste in your business — and it’s no one’s fault.

 

Waste elimination can be one of the most effective ways to increase profitability in businesses, whether it is private sector, government or not-for-profit organisations.

Studies have found that waste can be as much as 30% of the operating costs of a business.

Imagine making a better profit without relying on increasing sales.

This is all about…“doing more with the same resources”

Rather than the traditional approach of…“doing the same with less resources”

This is not about:

• Cutting costs
• Reducing head count
• Slashing marketing spend
• Increasing workloads
• Allocating blame

The Benefits of this approach are:

• Increased Profit
• Improved cash flow
• Improved efficiency
• Improved staff morale

Sometimes businesses have slowed or are heading in the wrong direction. Often owners realise this but are uncertain of what course to take

 

We are able to identify causes of financial stress, devise strategies to turn under-performing businesses around and help owners, managers and others deliver improved financial performance.

• Is your business generating the amount of profit it should?
• Is it running as efficiently as you would like?
• Are you happy with the level of cash flow?
• What about your business keeps you awake at night?

Our simple, proven method removes guesswork, provides analysis of current position and develops plans to achieve the best outcomes.

What this means for your business…

• Stay In control
• Continue the business
