How we can help
We'll balance quick wins against long term financial management viability
Budgeting
Corporate budgeting is typically an annual exercise that needs to incorporate all aspects of the business. It needs to be bought into by all departments, and the right metrics need to be established and agreed by all, for financial management and for progress tracking.
Forecasting
Forecasting is often done quarterly, but if the process is automated, it can easily be done monthly. This enhances executive visibility into financial progress on a continual basis allowing for quick but necessary adjustments, when needed.
Financial Modeling
Creating an accurate financial model for the company, the products, incorporating the appropriate business model is instrumental to being able to having meaningful multi-year projections that are often needed for raising investment funds and adjusting the long term corporate strategy.

We typically start by assessing the current state, understanding the pain points and evaluating contributing factors. We then recommend the metrics that are most critical to measure and improve on and establish benchmarks. Once agreed, we then work with the client team to come up with the best possible improvements that would address the pain points, support the strategy and deliver quick wins. We then illustrate the achieved improvements through metrics (KPIs) and move on to the next set of pain points, repeating the cycle. |
