Your Own FD

It is inevitable that as a business grows the finance burden increases. It is therefore likely that an increasing amount of the owner’s time is taken up with the finance area. This is not what he envisaged when he started the business and unlikely what he wants to do or is what he does best.

Without an efficient and effective finance department which takes care of forward planning and the everyday routine it is unavoidable that the business owner will get involved.

Our main objective is free up busy Owners/MD’s by taking away the problems of the finance department in an organised way, and putting in place an organisation structure for your company. This will be a solid foundation for current and future plans.

We will ensure that the processes put in place help the business have clear direction. These processes will be communicated to everyone in the organisation to enable all the different functions to be aware of the impact their contributions have.

We will help you through the mist and fog so you can see your business and the future with greater clarity.

You will receive the support of an experienced finance director and you also get to spend your time doing what you want to do and enjoy but never seem able to find the time.

We will address:

Cash flow
We work with you to improve best practice cash management, forecasting and to manage cash flow effectively

Profit
We’ll identify important cost/ profit centres where improvements will directly impact your bottom line

Internal Controls
One of our first priorities will be to ensure you have strong internal control systems and that you are collecting information in the right way

Reporting
It is essential that you extract the relevant information from the business and presenting it effectively

Planning
We will ascertain your business targets and agree a project plan with you which will be the basis to manage your team.

Compliance
We ensure that we are in control of all compliance issues, so you don’t have to.

Taxation
We aim to have your business as tax efficient as it could possibly be.

Banking
Keep the lines of communication open with your bankers; they can be a useful asset.

Your Own FD


 

  • Influences of an FD

    An FD impacts the whole business
    FD’s are multidisciplined and play a role in all areas of the business to ensure objectives and the company strategy is achieved.

    Finance is the language of the business
    ALL function within a business have a financial impact. Understanding what factors influence these impacts is crucial.

    FD’s can manage change and transformation

    • To ensure growth plans can be sustained and are profitable
    • Appraise new investment opportunities
    • Restructure the business
    • Prepare for an exit

    Risk Management
    Identifying and understanding risks to the business is essential. We refer to here the external economic, regulatory, and political environment. Awareness of a risk ensures steps can be taken to mitigate, reduce or eliminate that risk

    Cash Management
    Cash control and sometimes preservation are needed to ensure a business can fulfil its potential. Well thought out plans are essential to have uninterrupted operations or consider expansion and investment.

    Cash is King has been the mantra of many businesses but currently many believe that Cash is Gold

    Sales is Vanity – Profit is Sanity – CASH IS REALITY
