business SUPPORT SERVICES

Discover how adopting a unique approach to business support can help you.

the why

What is business support?

We firmly believe that everyone in life should have a support person. It’s kind of like having that wonderful best friend who remains impartial and un-biased, and who can help to make the best decisions for the business as a whole, without the emotional attachment.

A business support system is there to bring out the very best performance of the team, and to help guide and encourage whilst ensuring accountability across the board.

Unlike some traditional methodologies, we prefer to work with the whole team, rather than just with the business owner. By approaching isssues from a grass roots level, we have found we are able to create a strong foundation for continued improvement.

Support services can take many different forms, depending on your individual needs. We like our clients to have the power to choose a format which suits their business needs and situation. Whilst face-to-face is the most commonly used method, we are available over phone, text, email and skype/zoom meetings too.



communication

We spend more time with our work-mates than we do with our own family in most instances. It makes sense then that we should learn how to perfect our communication techniques with our fellow team members. Let us work with you to open up the lines of communication in your workplace by creating an environment where everyone feels safe to speak openly and honestly.



Finance

Learning how to interpret your financials doesn’t need to be hard. Profit and loss statements give key insights into the health of your business, whilst balance sheets provide an overall picture of current position. Seeing your cashflow statements can help you sleep at night knowing that your bills will be paid as they fall due. We can work with you to understand what these crucial documents are telling you about your business.



software

We have noticed an increasing number of businesses who either under utilise the software that they have, or they have invested in software which isn’t fit for purpose. Let us help you to maximise the efficiency of the programs that you have, and to investigate and roll out any new packages that may be required. By working with all team members involved, we can ensure that any software updates are understood and carefully managed.

growth opportunities

Deciding to expand a business can be daunting. Financial forecasting is paramount to obtaining financial backing, and to helping you decide if it’s an opportunity worth chasing. Exploring possible scenarios is key before taking the leap, and we firmly believe that knowledge is power when it comes to decision making in business. We can work with you to develop your profit and loss and cashflow forecasting techniques so that you can see the impact that any significant growth could have on your business.



departmental analysis

When a business experiences signifant growth in a short time span, it can be hard to measure the success of the expansion. With accurate reporting and financial analysis, reviewing individual elements of the business can give clarity around what is working, and most importantly, any areas which need some care and attention.
