Finance and business consulting done right.
How the finance & business processes impact on the company’s bottom line can be frightening for some. I train and mentor decision makers to create and map-out financial & business processes to navigate their business towards successful, stress-free operations.
The benefit for business leaders and organisations
Finance and non-finance people within an organisation may often speak a completely different language. This can lead to loss of vital information when not communicated correctly or explained among decision makers, creating two (or more) very different worlds for people within the business. This in turn can lead to a confusing set of puzzle pieces, which may not make sense as a whole. Here’s where I come in, in three distinct roles.
Bridge: Linking people's needs in a meaningful way
I make a dedicated effort to understand all stakeholders involved and the decision makers’ interest in running the operation in its current form. People open-up to me as I create a mutually trusting environment throughout my finance and business consulting services.
Needs-translator: Facilitating between finance and non-finance needs
Once all the info is available, I can translate finance and non-finance related needs and interests into a common language, allowing everyone involved to get on the same page.
Map-maker: Streamlining business processes
As a common understanding develops, a substantial amount of information is created that needs to be tackled. I can break down all projects: the things to do, into bite-sized comprehensible and clear actions. This in turn leads to clockwork operations, in a stress-free environment.
The grant refund can be a major financial benefit to the company. With R&D grants, we can simplify the funding applications; and I help with Financial Projections to ensure funding is approved. Go on to the next level with your company!
R&D Credit Claims & Audits can help you with a successful application & claim. In addition to the reduction of Tax Credits, R&D Tax Credit application can also result in Cash Refunds, ie forgotten or hidden revenue stream.
Strategic Planning pulls together the historical data & projects the vision of the company. If you are suspecting your balance sheet is going in the wrong direction, there are some questions I can shed light on, taking into account both P&L & Balance Sheet.
Continuous improvement will lead to better customer service, improved customer communication, stock flow, among many other advantages. Continuous improvement will prevent duplication, avoid human error, eliminate mistakes and hence leads to waste reduction. I help my clients work through projects and assist in supply chain management.
Management Accounts is a financial report that is comprised of Balance Sheet & Profit & Loss Account. Without this information, a company is floating & may not know where it is coming from or the direction it is going.
Some companies collate budgets with management team or MD & Finance only. Management team of different departments are usually not involved, leading to team being told what to do or what is expected. I help collate it with management team to get buy-in & ownership.
Compliance matters everywhere: it helps with the prevention of mistakes. You can prevent fines/penalties from governing agency, if you adhere to compliance; prevent law suits; meet Accounting Standards; I help meet the highest levels of regulation guidelines.
System integration is necessary for companies that have information in lots of different locations: Excel, accounting packages, stock systems, sales information, footfall counter, etc. These systems may not be all integrated. I can help you create an integrated/automated experience to assist your operations flow for better customer experience.
