ProfileI am an experienced accountant/controller who provides On-Line Controller services to small and medium sized businesses.I carry out my work using specialized financial software called "Focus" allowing me to:Produce Meaningful Results Quickly and Cost Effectively. ExperienceMy experience includes many years in the accounting field as an accountant and business advisor to small and medium sized businesses and I have spent over ten years working as Controller for medium sized businesses in the manufacturing, construction and recreation industries.ServicesThe process of providing Controller services consists of measuring transactions, reporting the results, analyzing performance and planning for the future.In short, the value of my services is to show a client how the components of their business work, challenge existing practises and make recommendations, both operational and strategic that will improve profitability. I produce a monthly analysis of operations and provide the structure and discipline for a monthly management review to discuss the months performance and set expectations and plans for the coming months.Based on my many years of experience I have concluded that the biggest problem faced by business owners is that while they do not "Plan to Fail" they procrastinate and "Fail to Plan".
