Financial Strategist
One of the keys to profitable growth for any company is strong financial management. Yet many high growth small/medium companies have very busy accounting departments. Their Chief Financial Officer, if they have one, may be involved with financial reporting, banking, financing, internal management reports, negotiations, and perhaps even IT and payroll. The internal accountants are focused on managing working capital, preparing the monthly financial statements, and keeping government reporting up to date. There’s a lot to do each month.
The longer the accounting department spends on compliance and external reporting each month, the less time they have for management and internal reporting each month.
If your accounting department is issuing the month end reports on the 20th or 25th of each month, that doesn’t leave much time for helping management measure and improve business performance and results.
Growth will need even more resources and expertise. That means even less time on internal reporting and management. We can help your current CFO, controller, and accounting department become the information heroes of your business.
