THE ROLE OF THE CEO AND HOW I CAN HELP

You are the CEO of your business and are therefore responsible for the overall success of the business. Just thinking about how much this involves is exhausting! You can not be an effective CEO without the help and support of a team that shares your vision of the future. Putting together the right team takes time and can be expensive but it is crucial to the long-term success of the business.

I have worked alongside many competent CEO’s/Entrepreneurs over the years and have gained invaluable experience from observing and working with them. I have seen strategies that work and strategies that don’t work. I am well aligned to partner with you, the CEO to move your business towards your long-term goals.

What I can do to help.

Develop and implement systems and processes to improve efficiencies and reduce waste.

Analyse business financials to identify areas to improve gross profit and reduce overheads. A 1% increase in gross profit coupled with a 1% decrease in overheads results in a 9% increase in net profit!

Prepare monthly or quarterly management reports for review and discussion.

Create and maintain budgets and compare budget to actual to identify problem areas.

Create and maintain cashflow projections to enable informed decisions around payments and avoid nasty surprises.

Implement processes to improve cash flow and profitability.

Train finance and administrative staff to be more efficient.

Assist with ad hoc projects like preparing funding and finance applications.

Act as a sounding board for any ideas or issues that you want to discuss.
