Chief financial officer services
We have designed a service that helps bridge the gap between the strategic priorities of the business owner and day to day financial performance. This is a real-time service that provides business owners with a “finger on the pulse” by extracting meaningful financial information from core data. We work as your CFO.
Succession
We have designed a purpose built programme to guide clients through succession. This includes stakeholder analysis, questionnaires, interpretative tools, maps, financial models and governance structures.
Lending assistance
Banks need reliable reporting of future profits and cash flows to provide credit to business customers, and they need comfort that it is a true reflection of the expected direction. We offer a stand alone service to produce fully integrated financials to support credit applications.
