Accounting/Bookkeeping – We can get as detailed or general as you want in these reports – tracking overall expenses and revenues, down to what you are really spending in cost of goods per customer. With our clients, we have caught expenses that they were unaware of, informed them, and saved their money. For one client, we caught a recurring $300 transaction. For yet another client, we helped reconcile 3 years of past transactions, getting them up to date and operating correctly. 

Data Analytics – For many clients, we provide business analytics with a dashboard, detailing different key performance indicators. These help you see a full picture of how your business is really doing, beyond just cash flow. Using these trends, you can begin to see (over time) what might be warning signs or positive indicators for what will happen in the future. For example, how do Google searches on your business impact customers coming through the door, how do different ads increase sales (or have no impact at all, saving you money). How will walk-in’s impact you over time, and when can you expect less traffic? Which products or services sell more often and which should you remove?

Pricing – We have helped a number of clients on pricing. This is more than just pricing each item, but ensuring consistency across your organization, handling pricing changes effectively, and squeezing out more margin without hurting quality. One client we had (a café) was able to increase their margins across all of their food items, without changing the quality of their food.

Legal/Tax Issues – In some cases this review has led to cost savings, protections, etc. for our clients. Further, we have often spent time talking to our client’s other service providers, or those of the other party. Right now, for instance, a client of ours defaulted on lease payments, and we have been assisting both party’s lawyers in getting to an agreement that our client can actually afford without going bankrupt.
