While many may not find the process of collating and recording shoe boxes of financial data to be the most exciting of tasks, I think of each of these transactions as an entry into the business’ diary that tells the story of its trading adventures over the last week, fortnight, month, quarter or year and most times the outcome can be exhilarating! Once your business adventures have been recorded into the diary the story is presented in the form of financial reports that, once read, allow the business to make decisions as to where it will go on its next adventure. If we take away the financial jargon that makes eyes roll into the back of our heads, it really is quite simple. I was drawn to finance by a desire to help SMEs grow into strong & thriving organisations and the types of challenges I deal with are;• Cashflow issues• Establishing & upgrading accounting & payroll systems• Creating & implementing processes & procedures• Maintaining general ledgers and asset registers• Assisting with month-end and year-end closing• Assisting with budgeting & forecastingMy clients tell me that I have a positive impact on their lives as I help turn their financial chaos into a dynamic order where they can make faster & smarter business decisions.Ethical business practice is very important to me, and I make sure that my clients best interests are front and centre.
