Solutions
Start from the problem, not the service name.
Owners rarely ask for a service by name. They describe a problem: cash that never seems enough, margins nobody can explain, a bank review coming up. Each situation below shows how we diagnose it and work through it.
01
Cash and funding
Liquidity, lenders and capital: keeping the business funded through the cycle.
Profitable, but cash is tight“We are profitable, but cash is always tight.”
Seasonal swings in cash“Our year has a few strong months and a long quiet stretch.”
Bank limit renewal and covenants“Our bank limit is up for renewal and we are not sure the numbers will pass.”
Borrowing or raising capital“We are raising money and our numbers will not survive an investor's questions.”
02
Profit, pricing and growth
Knowing where margin is made, and whether growth strengthens or strains the business.
We cannot explain our margins“We do not know which products or customers make money.”
Import costs and LC margins“We price imports off the invoice, and margins keep surprising us.”
Revenue is up, the business is harder“Revenue is up, but running the business feels harder than ever.”
Will the model hold as we scale?“We are about to scale, and I am not sure the model holds.”
03
Finance function and decisions
Reporting, systems and people that let owners decide with confidence.
Reports do not support decisions“Our finance team records numbers but gives us little insight.”
Too many reports, no clear numbers“There are too many reports and I still do not know which numbers matter.”
Finance cannot keep up with growth“Our business has grown faster than our systems.”
CFO thinking without a full-time CFO“We need CFO-level thinking without hiring a full-time CFO.”
Outsourcing the finance team“We would rather not run an in-house finance team at all.”
Every decision comes to the owner“Every decision still comes back to my desk.”
A postponed decision is costing us“There is a decision we keep postponing, and it is costing us.”
The same audit points every year“Our auditor raises the same points every year.”
04
Ownership, tax and change
Family, investors, regulators and tax: the structure around the numbers.
Family and company money“Money moves between the family and the company and nobody can say what it means.”
Selling, merging or a new partner“We are thinking of selling, merging or bringing in a partner.”
Reporting to a foreign parent“Head office wants numbers on its timetable and in its format.”
Tax or NFRS clarity“We need help with tax, NFRS or a complex financial matter.”- We have received an IRD noticeUrgent
