Shrubs

Smaller businesses generally with an annual turnover up to £500k, with slow or steady growth we can help you get control and understanding of your financial information.

Forecasting and planning

Plans help you identify a way to get to where you want to go. They are an art not science and will provide guidance, not guarantee success, but trying out options in theory can help avoid some nasty practical mistakes.

The financial plans will be a living document that will be updated as things change and knowledge grows. We create a flexible model based on key business drivers that will give you a profit and loss and cashflow forecast that you can update yourself - or we can continue to help.

Reporting and measurement

Regular review of the actual financial results lets you know if you are getting to where you want to go.

There is a big gap between the work done by your bookkeeper and your year end accountant which is filled by a Finance Manager who will focus on your needs rather than the needs of the government.

If you haven’t identified particular targets then you can at least check where you are and where you are likely to be going. This helps avoid any nasty year end surprises as well as providing a chance to identify any inaccuracies and ways of improving profitability or cashflow.

Outsourced Finance Management

When you are not sure where to go it can be useful to have a second pair of eyes to support you.

As a small business owner there is no end to the decisions that you might need to make that have financial implications and we can help evaluate them.

You might want to improve efficiency and accuracy by changing your processes – either those that control your financial information or that impact your business more widely.

We can even help identify cost savings by looking at social and environmental factors.
