Financial advisory for owner-managed businesses
Owners rarely need a strategy document. They need someone who knows the numbers well enough to give a straight answer to a specific question.
The situation
In an owner-managed company the same person decides on pricing, hiring, investment and their own remuneration — usually without anyone to test the financial logic against.
The accountant is often the only person with a full view of the figures, and too often is not asked, or is not close enough to the business to answer well.
Typical examples
- Deciding whether the business can carry an additional senior hire.
- Reviewing pricing after a period of cost increases.
- Weighing salary against dividend for the coming year.
