Financial Management Services
You are able to produce a multitude of reports from your accounting and social media software but data is just data unless you know what data is useful and you can interpret it to tell your business's story.
The P&L, Balance Sheet and Cash Flow reports are backwards-looking [what results have been achieved] whereas a regularly updated P&L, Balance Sheet and Cash Flow forecast is forward-looking and has the capability of exploring different scenarios such as:
-
What if I increased sales prices by 1%?
-
What if I reduce my cost of sales/cost of goods sold by 1%?
-
What if I change my product or service sales mix? Will my GP improve?
-
What if I make processes more efficient and save on labour costs?
There are many other areas of P&L, Balance Sheet and Cash Flow forecasting that can assist in helping businesses make data-driven decisions to grow in terms of revenue and profit while keeping costs under control.
For this to happen data in your accounting, marketing and operations software needs to be as accurate as possible and lean processes should be adopted to drive efficiency gains.
To help our clients understand what story their numbers are telling them we provide the following services:
