Practical Financial Management

Practical Financial Management is a full day workshop that takes you through key financial principles like:

    - What profit really is, how it's measured and why it's different from cash flow.
    - How you can manage the relationship between risk and return in business.
    - Four straight-forward ways to improve the profitability of your business by analysing costs
    - How to increase your sales revenue.
    - How to improve the performance of your business by analysing costs.

    - How to measure and control your working capital and ensure that it's consistent with your overall business strategy.
    - How to grow your business so you simultaneously increase profit and cash flow


Business DashBoard

To get your business on track, and keep it there, you need to continually monitor these six critical metrics:

    - Net profit
    - Revenue
    - Gross profit
    - Overheads
    - Cash position
    - Business activity

Knowing your business' position against these factors at any given time gives you the power to make sound and timely decisions - and ultimately drive your business' success.

Too many business managers rely on 'gut fell' - a combination of experience and intuition - without knowing how their business is really performing until it's too late.

To successfully unlock your business' full hidden potential, you need information about understand performance that's timely and easy to understand. You need information you can work with, so you can figure out what you need to do right now to achieve your goals and targets.

Business Dashboard gives you the information you need quickly and in a way you can make sense of immediately.




Strategic Planning

We'll work with you to build a detailed diagnosis of your business as it stands right now. This diagnosis then forms the basis of the analysis and planning work we carry out with you to help your business achieve your goals.

During your Strategic Planning Session, we'll guide you through a range of processes, including:

    - Developing your Business Value Proposition that identifies the special factors about your business that compels people to keep buying from you.
    - Reviewing your business profit improvement potential and establish clear financial targets.
    - Assessing our business' customer focus, team management, systems and practices.
    - Developing an action plan to make it all happen!

Plus you'll receive a detailed Business Analysis report based on your completed diagnosis.

If you'd like to take your business beyond just surviving and into the realms of truly thriving, then holding a Strategic Planning Session is a must do!

Getting Your Internal Systems Right
Seven Ways To Grow

Structuring Your Finances Correctly

32.1% of small business failure is due to poor financial management. In Structuring Your Finances Correctly, Director Melissa Healy looks at financial management strategies for Australian businesses. The briefing will give you advice on how to:

    - Understand who and how businesses fail
    - Interpret and use your financial statements and monitor your financial position
    - Manage cash flow and working capital
    - Unlock hidden profits in you business
    - Manage your costs and finance new equipment


Getting Your Internal Systems Right

Make your business run more smoothly by taking a close and critical look at internal systems and processes. Learn how to:

    - Calculate the net value of a process. Not all systems add value to a business and many businesses waste effort and costs with unnecessary processes.
    - Redesign specific processes to lower the cost of production
    - Introduce additional processes to improve the way products and services are sold and gain a competitive edge.

Good systems:

    - Mean you don't have to be there all the time
    - Make it easier to sell you business by improving the sale value by up to 87% compared to a non-systemised business
    - Free your time to work 'on' your business rather than 'in' it.
