Unleashing the Power of Financial Intelligence

There is no comprehensive textbook for gaining Financial Intelligence – it comes from experience in all aspects of business and often, unfortunately, by trial and error. These errors can end up being costly and detrimental to your company’s financial health.

There’s immense value in having someone on your team who has both the education and experience to help get your business on a path to growth. We help you unleash the power of Financial Intelligence through our 3-phased approach. Here’s what you can expect:

Discovery

We start by determining the status of your current financial position. We then compare where you are to where you want to be in terms of growth and profitability. The discovery process includes:

  • A thorough assessment of your financials
  • An in-depth look at the structure of your accounting department
  • A review of your company’s financial processes
  • The performance of a gap analysis which calculates the difference in where you are and where you want to be

Implementation

Next steps involve implementation of the financial intelligence tools necessary to address what has been learned during the discovery phase. This will include:

  • Setting priorities based on identified gaps
  • Developing financial controls
  • Creating a strategy for working with your team to achieve your objectives
  • Putting a process in place to ensure financial information that is timely and accurate

Financial Traction

The end goal is gaining and maintaining financial traction. Accountability tools, processes, and practices are a major component of maintaining traction and include:

  • Oversight of the 5 Ps of Business Success – People, Product, Process, Pricing, and Planning – all with an eye towards Profitability
  • The creation and implementation of a strategic plan and initiatives
  • A monthly financial analysis
