Analysis
Business analysis is the process of looking at every aspect of an organisation and seeing how it contributes to, or detracts from, the performance of the organisation as a whole.

Financial Modelling & Analysis
A detailed financial model of your organisation, produced by an experienced business adviser using state-of-the art financial software, is an invaluable tool. It will enable you to manage your financial performance efficiently and forecast your future performance. You can set up possible future scenarios and see what would happen if interest rates, materials costs or labour rates change. You can predict the effects of increasing or reducing prices - indeed you can model almost any set of circumstance and see how it would affect your financial performance. By this means, we have helped hundreds of organisations to increase profits and improve cash flow.
The model can also be set up to analyse the gross profit contribution (or drain) for each individual sector of your business activity. This is important, because in a multi-product situation, some products may be contributing little or no revenue to the business while draining considerable cash. Businesses unaware of these basic facts can waste money marketing and promoting the products that produce the least profit.
In most cases, annual accounts do not help very much in this regard, because they usually show the sales and profit margins for the overall business rather than breaking down the individual contribution of each product or service.
The quality of the analysis depends to a considerable extent on the depth and accuracy of the financial data. We can advise you about installing efficient accounting systems.
Training Needs Analysis
A skills analysis evaluates the skills needed in your organisation and assesses the extent to which the existing skill-base of your staff fulfils this need. We then produce a Training Plan for your organisation that is intended to fill this gap. We will also provide you with a list of possible providers and approximate costs. Armed with this information, you will then be able to decide how much or how little of this training you wish to put in place, its priorities and timing.

Business Reviews
A business review is an independent appraisal of your organisation conducted by a highly experienced business adviser. You could view it as a 'health check' for your business - but it can achieve far more than that.
No matter how successful it may be, every business has room for improvement. Your business may have strengths and opportunities that are not being fully exploited, or it may have weaknesses that need attention. An independent, unbiased, view of your organisation can highlight issues and ideas that may not have not occurred to you and can reveal trends or problems that you may have been too busy to notice.
The adviser studies your business from all aspects and recommends actions that you might take to improve or develop your organisation, or to deal with problems. This is done by analysing and appraising every aspect of your organisation. By means of visits, interviews, analysis of financial and other information that you provide and other research;
Surprisingly perhaps, a competent business adviser does not need to have prior experience of your type of business in order to be able to give you excellent advice. At the end of the review process the adviser will prepare a detailed report and action plan for you.
Skills Reviews
This is a process where we interview your staff and produce a report showing all the skills, both declared and undeclared, that reside within your workforce.
We often find that it is the undeclared skills that yield the greatest surprises. For example, we discovered that one client was employing a person in a fairly menial job who, in his spare time, looked after the bookkeeping for a number of clubs and associations, using up to date computerised accounting techniques. To him, this was just a hobby, but it soon resulted in his transfer to a different department where his skills were put to full use.
