Business planning

Most businesses can be controlled by focusing on fewer than 10 key indicators ("KPIs"). In fact; these are essential if you want to develop your business.

We can help you:

  • indentify what you want from your business
  • decide what you need to get you there; and
  • learn how to measure your progress

Budgeting and cashflow forecasts

You will want to motivate and retain your good staff, funders will want to know how much you need to borrow (if any), and you will want to be sure that you can afford the investment before making a decision.

With accurate forecasts and budgeting control, you will:

  • have greater credibility with funders
  • be able to identify when and where issues need addressing; and
  • free up your time by giving others responsibility for delivering the goals you set

Management accounting

Good businesses keep check on their progress. Leaving things until the annual accounts are done will make corrective action difficult to implement. Using our knowledge of a wide range of businesses, we can prepare, analyse and report on issues shown up on a monthly basis. This often builds on the bookkeeping we do, but can be delivered as a stand alone service.

Bookkeeping

Every business needs to keep good records. Not only is there a legal requirement, imposed by the Revenue, but it assists in controlling a business if you know where "everything is at". VAT returns, accounts and decision making are usually much easier if the basics have been covered.

We can provide short term cover for holidays, sick leave etc., and extend the cover indefinitely if it proves cost effective for you. Alternatively, we can cover the bookkeeping activity while you find a person to do the job. With the seamless link to our accounting department, you can get your accounts prepared quickly and efficiently.

Software selection

Sometimes the "market leader" is not the right choice. As independent advisors, we can consider the accounting software that is appropriate for your business. We can assist in selecting the product; installing it and setting it up to deliver the information you need.
