Give yourself the same financial tools every successful organisation uses every day.
Most SME’s are not large enough to be able to afford a full time CFO to help support their business – but often require one. Ty Hazell, our CEO and Co-Founder, having worked for over 20 years as CFO in many large multinationals across multiple industries, will provide these services at a fraction of their current market rates.
At Focused, we concentrate on the 4 core pillars of success.
This is the same secret source that all the major Corporates utilise.
- Pillar 1
Business Planning/Budgets/Forecasts - Pillar 2
Business Transparency - Pillar 3
Systems and Processes - Pillar 4
Commercial and Advisory
“By Failing to Prepare, you are Preparing to Fail”
– Benjamin Franklin, Founding Father of the US
Never a truer statement has been made! Throughout my expansive corporate career whether I was CFO for a start up burning cash on a monthly basis or as CFO for a multi international there was always a clear vision for where our business would be in the next 3 years; a more detailed plan for the immediate 12 months; all of which was broken down into individual team/department key KPi’s, busines objectives and goals which were monitored and updated as market conditions changed. These processes are the fundamentals to any successful business as without a plan how can you evaluate performance.
3 Year Financial Business Plan
Annual Budget
Establishment of core business KPI’s
Budget Review
Updated P&L and Cashflow forecast
Business performance can only be measured against a target or an effective plan that has been agreed by the owner or the Board to evaluate performance and identify areas of improvement. Ideally, Key business KPI’s should be monitored monthly supported by a detailed quarterly business review and updated forecast every 6 months based on market and business change conditions.
Business dashboards
Detailed business report
Business performance and review call with CFO
All successful businesses ensure they have the right systems and process to extract the maximum value and drive the operational and administration efficiencies. We would evaluate your current systems, look for areas to improve/automate which either drives the said efficiencies or from a risk management of reducing potential fraud or leakage within your business.
Driving efficiencies and risk mitigation
Business and market conditions are continuously changing and, in some instances, daily.
This means decisions around product pricing, capital investment, cashflows, staffing. strcutures to name a few are needed on an adhoc basis (some daily or even immediate if business critical is needed) and its for this we offer our commercial and advisory advice. It’s the advice that will answer your “How”, “What” , “Why” and “When” questions; examples of which include:
- What price should I charge?
- Should I be leasing or buying my vehicle?
- When will my cash run out?
- How can I afford my next vehicle?
- What targets do I get my new sales person?
- Where will the company be in 1,2,3 years time?
- How can I become profitable?
- What changes do I need to make to my business for it to become profitable?
- Why are my margin so low?
- Why am I generating profits but have no cashflow?
- How do I expand my business overseas/next state
- What commercial clauses should I include in my sales/purchase contracts?
