How good are your financial processes? 22-02-2011
Very many businesses are not getting what they deserve or need from their financial processes.
There are a few things that contribute to the situation not least of which is that finance is an area where many people do not know what they do not know. It is probable that a business is not getting what it needs from finance if the key decision makers are unable to be involved in all the decisions or are so stretched that they find themselves making most decisions based on "experience" or "intuition".
Our recent work has highlighted again that there are huge opportunities for businesses who have access to capable financial people who understand business as well as "the numbers".
Sadly too many businesses try to get the right answer cheaply. The result is similar to buying a leaky home, it may have been cheap but there is a reason.
If you are interested in someone assessing how your business is doing in this important area please Contact Us we can provide excellent references from businesses.
