We review internal management systems, compare existing management systems with the requirements of relevant ISO standards, consider typical management system accreditation requirements of future potential customers and improve current systems and processes.

Business Analysis—Ratios, KPI’s

Cashflow Forecasts

As part of our consulting services, we prepare 3-way forecasts. The forecasts – Profit and Loss, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow – and their comparison with actuals (monthly when we meet) will provide you with a good understanding of where the money flows and how we can optimise the performance of the business (what-if analysis).

These forecasts are more commonly accepted by the banks, and it will enable us to help you to identify key areas and growth opportunities in your business.

Team Advisory Board

Through our Team Advisory Board (TAB), we meet with them one-on-one to discuss the business respecting complete confidentiality.
