Financial and Project Management
With
over 25 years senior management experience in financial functions for large
organisations I have a wealth of experience in the financial controls needed to
run successful businesses. From the design, implementation and running of
financial systems through to the creation of shared services functions including
accounts, payroll, credit, purchasing, facilities, IT and
HR.
With
significant merger and acquisition experience, change management is a key skill
for me and one that is complemented by my professional coaching skills.
Process Review
Review
the many administrative and financial processes that keep the wheels of the
business turning i.e. the sales
process, from enquiry to invoice through to credit control and cash
collection(no sale until the cash is collected), purchasing, stock control,
financial systems procedures i.e. petty cash, journal control to name but a
few.
Consider
the number of processes in your organisation and the people
involved.
Have
these processes and systems been reviewed recently?
Are
they fit for purpose?
If
the answer is no to either of these then now is the time to get that review done
and capture the savings.
Management Information Systems (MIS)
The
key to effective and efficient organisations is management information that is
understandable, timely, relevant and critically, accurate. Without this
management is similar to a car driver wearing a blindfold, it is an accident
waiting to happen.
If
you recognise that your MIS is not as effective as you would like or you are
still waiting for that one sheet executive summary then now is the time to make
the change.
Change
Change
is a constant factor in all our lives whether personally or within our
organisations and we all recognise that we need to be able to manage the change
in order to retain control. It is important in any change environment that you
have someone like me who can pull the pieces together to get an orderly and
effective completion.
Strategy
When
was the last time you gave a real hard look at the strategy of the business and
amended your plans, staffing and cost structures accordingly? If it has not
happened this year then now is the time to do it, be prepared for the upturn so
your organisation can take full advantage when it happens.
