What was the worst experience you’ve had with an accountant? Do you have a story that still makes you recoil in horror?
The company owner took responsibility for building an accounting function which they understood very little about.
They had no idea what an efficient, successful finance department that helps propel a company forward looks like.
What are you doing that you shouldn’t be? Are you wasting time on your finances when you could focus on growth, not accounting.
The more your team understands about finance in general, and your company finances in particular, the easier it will be for them to take on financial tasks
Experience indicates to me that business owners without strong financial backgrounds focus on profit and loss rather than the balance sheet.
There are several common reports in every set of monthly management accounts to give a view of your past, present and future.
Now that the economy seems to have calmed somewhat, there may be incredible opportunities – if only you look for them.
Learning on the job comes with a cost. Building your own finance department and working out best practices as you go along is rarely successful.
We continually learn from each one, building up skills and experience then share that knowledge.
The secret to uninterrupted financial services… a whole team!
