-
Start with your WHY
What is your reason for being in business beyond making a profit? This will fire the engine and ultimately ensure you generate greater profits. -
Pricing
Increase (or potentially decrease) your pricing. Small changes can make big differences: on average, a 1% price increase yields an 11% increase in profit. -
Reducing costs
Reduce costs and implement a company-wide expense controls programme. -
Improving payment collection
Improve and automate payment collection. -
Measurement/KPIs
What you measure, moves. Deep dive into trends, build intelligent KPIs and focus on what really matters. -
Supplier management
Manage suppliers tightly and look for bulk-buying opportunities, consolidation of costs and discounts. -
Lending facilities
Review lending facilities with the bank. A well-managed finance function will engender trust from the bank and give you greater leverage for improved facilities. -
Grants
Investigate all possible opportunities for grant funding. -
R&D tax credits
Explore options for R&D tax credits. -
Optimisation
Optimise all working parts of your finance function – ‘The 12 Boxes’ – to improve efficiency and productivity and increase your output. -
Improved proposition
Tighten up your value proposition to increase your conversion rate; reduce the cost of new customer acquisition. -
Customer retention
Customer retention is just as important (if not more so) than new customer acquisition. Focus on achieving a healthy balance between the two. -
Outsourcing
Investigate opportunities for outsourcing for reduced costs, increased flexibility and improved access to skills.
