Having well-defined Key Performance Indicators combined with performance management

We work with ambitious growth companies across all sectors, identifying every area of weakness within your current finance function and every potential opportunity.

Sharing best practice among our 200+ top level CFOs means we are able to collaborate internally and then distil and share the best information with our clients which would be impossible through most typical in-house finance director appointments.

You will have your own carefully selected CFO Centre; CFO on the one hand and a close-knit team of local and national CFOs on the other, working as part of a collaborative support structure . This gives us and our clients a huge advantage.

With over 4000 combined years of experience one of our CFOs will have been there and done it. This means that if you are looking for funding say or wishing to sell your business instead of having only one CFO to help you meet your objective, you have the benefit of our entire national team.

Key Performance Indicators are now part of the common language in the business world. This is used by the management to develop a good view around the most important processes within the organization. The actionable metrics are also created during the process of checking the indicators and they are connected to the company's bottom line.

The KPIs can be used in the entire company regardless of the department or the division. When you want to design key performance indicators that are right for your business, you should always bear in mind that the good KPIs are actionable and measurable. In addition to that, the Key Performance Indicators should be directly connected to the profitability of the organization.

Entrepreneurs often start new businesses with their own money, but it doesn't take long before those funds are gone. If you were fortunate and family or friends invested in your enterprise, then you may have even been able to start the business. But it will not take long before you run out of funds and need new sources to continue growing the business. Early expenses include buying merchandise inventory, payroll and equipment. It would be a pity to get your business started and have it die an early death due to lack of startup Business Funding.

Capital Raising is essential to meet the expenses of setting up and running a small business, but it is not easy. The lack of sufficient funds has caused many small companies to fail miserably. Money is required for everything including property, equipment and other basics for a small business. You may be looking for the solid ways for funding so that your small company can start as soon as possible.

It would seem logical that following on from this, every business owner would have a clearly defined and well managed strategy to avoid running into cash flow problems and have a plan to improve Cashflow Problems when problems do arise, but amazingly this is very rarely the case.

If every business owner understood the risks they face operating their business and had a strategy to overcome those risks, the business success rate in Australia would be vastly improved.

Our experienced, part-time CFOs advise having a standard 9 week visibility plan over cash flow which prevents these issues occurring, promoting a much calmer and less frenetic atmosphere in the business.

The business owner often feels guilty and feels they are the cause of the problem. Employees sense that there are problems, which leads to negative rumors and a lack of perceived stability. Suppliers sense something is wrong and suddenly want paying faster, which can lead to difficult conversations. The chosen fix is often to simply sell more and yet there is not enough money in the marketing pot to boost sales.
