Financial “Firefighting” and interim management
My broad industry experience means that I can quickly and efficiently fill senior financial positions on a short to medium term or extended basis (either part time or full time) to help alleviate problems arising from unforseen departures, crisis situations or simply to ensure that your financial projects or tasks are completed on schedule. This could include:
- Standing in as Chief Financial Officer, Financial Controller or Treasurer
- Dealing with cash flow management and treasury issues in times of financial stress, or to improve current performance
- Assistance during critical events, such as finance applications/restructures, acquisitions, floats, etc.
- A resource for annual events, such as budgets, statutory accounts, audits and annual reports
- Acting as a specialist resource for ad hoc projects or investigations
- Development of an information memorandum or business plan.
Financial analysis and modelling
“Change management - what are the critical issues, what are my options, and what are the financial ramifications?”
I can assist with the careful analysis of any proposed business changes to clearly and thoroughly quantify both the opportunities and the critical risks. Such analysis would be appropriate during:
- Business/strategic planning
- Expansion planning
- Mergers and acquisitions
- Project viability analysis & feasibility studies
- Cash flow forecasting and management
- Capital raising and/or finance applications or restructures
- Scenario and sensitivity modelling
Management information systems
“I don’t understand these accounts! Give me information which tells me what my business is really doing - and where the money is going.”
I can help you to restructure your information and accounting systems to produce:
- Timely and accurate management reporting (including “one-day reporting”)
- Clear and succinct information - able to be understood by non-financial managers
- Cash flow and balance sheet reporting in addition to profitability
- Working capital control and Key Business Indicators
