Management Accountant
Working with small businesses and SME’s to realise their potential through strong financial guidance
Strategic Planning
Every enterprise needs a plan. Once you have decided what you want to achieve, the next step is to build a strategy on how to get there, try to antcipate the likely challenges and work out solutions to overcome them. This is an important building block, it gives you the reference points to measure progress and I can help you with this.
Balance Sheet
A regular Balance Sheet review is a recommended practice. Reading a Balance Sheet is a key skill for any Director or Business owner. It keeps you up to speed on important KPI’s and can give some early warning signals of underlying performance issues. I can guide you through this process.
Cash Flow
In any small business cash is king. Good financial management starts with a robust cash flow. The other conduits to this are ensuring you have a solid credit control system, together with regular reviews on overhead spending, sales and margins. This is to ensure you are getting the best return on your working capital. All these disciplines I can review with a view of identifying where money can be saved and resources can be put to best use.
Management Reporting
This is a must: to measure the performance of your business and to give you the facts you need for effective decision-making. I can help you design a suite of reports to give you the information that you need to drive your business forward to achieve your goals.
How can I help?
I am a qualified Chartered Management Accountant with over 30 years of experience in a wide range of business sectors at a senior level. I am looking to help small to mid-size enterprises that may require the support of a Management Accountant.
Good quality management information is key to the successful running of a business. It does this by bringing to life the fundamental elements you need to be in control of, for example: sales, profitability, productivity, cash flows, forecasting, liquidity and investment. Good quality management information is also invariably the go-to reference point in any of the major decisions.
If you recognise any of these comments and would like to discuss further, then please enter your details in the “get in touch” contact slip below for a free consultation to explore how I may help your business. My objectives would be to give you the tools and support to ensure your continued success and to add value. My services can be tailored to fit your needs and objectives. There are no hidden costs as all fees are agreed upfront. Consider it an investment rather than another overhead as the focus will be on saving you money, improving your return and helping you to grow.
Jim was instrumental in setting up a system to consolidate and transfer some of our processes in- house.
This enabled us to improve efficiency and control on the projects we were managing, to use our resources better and of course, to save some money.
Thanks Jim
