To succeed in business, it is critical to be able to estimate the future.

Management & Performance Reporting
We produce monthly management reports, key to understanding the current financial position and performance of any business. Having monthly visibility on revenue, margins, operational costs, profits, cash positions, outstanding debtors and creditors balances, or stockholding is a critical starting point in being able to plan and make the right business decisions when looking forward.
Business Analysis, Insights & Decision Making
Through the use of data and sophisticated analytical techniques we are able to provide critical financial insights that guide decision-making within a business.
Some real-life examples of this include:
• What are the key drivers and levers of a business and how do they impact financial performance
• Is the pricing model right to make the right margin
• Are all business units, products or services profitable, and if not, why not
• Where to look to improve productivity and what targets should be aimed for
• What is my business worth, how is it performing vs. competitors, and where is there room for improvement
We help businesses understand the financial impact of various choices as a data driven sounding board, leading to more informed decisions, and better financial results.
Cashflow Analysis & Management
Poor cashflow forecasting, analysis and management is one of the major reasons businesses get themselves into trouble or struggle to reach their full potential. We see this is a priority, ensuring rigorous cashflow planning and management, helping businesses stay resilient in uncertain times, adapt quickly to changes, mitigate financial risks, and facilitate growth.
Forecasting & Modelling
Forecasting helps businesses anticipate change, reduce uncertainty, identify the best ways to achieve their goals, and make future plans. It is critical in giving businesses the ability to be more proactive and forward looking, reducing risk, and understanding the path to acheiving their financial goals and objectives.
Budgeting & Planning
What gets planned gets done, what gets measured is improved. Budgeting is a critical aspect of running a successful business and involves forecasting and allocating resources to meet the goals and objectives of the organisation.
We have the expertise required to:
• Develop planning targets.
• Access and analyze historical and current data.
• Connect strategic objectives with daily processes.
• Link top-down targets with bottom-up budgets.
• Integrate and update financial forecasts as business conditions change.
• Perform multidimensional modeling of your planning and budgeting data.
Our team of experienced CFO’s and Analysts support businesses by leading the budget process from start to finish, producing effective budgets and giving businesses the tools to track how they are performing financially.
