Advisory

Advisory Services

As a small or growing business time is often something you are short on, meaning jobs get left or get completed to a less than satisfactory standard.

As a business owner sometimes all you need are a fresh set of eyes to look at a problem and help guide you to a solution, or some additional short-term support to get that project or request for information across the line.

Whatever your needs we have a range of skills that you can buy into on a project by project basis.

Financial Planning & Management

Cashflow Forecasting:  working with you to build your cashflow forecast and determine how to improve your current cashflow.

Expensify is a third party expenses app that integrates with Xero, and a number of other finance systems.

When built and used correctly Expensify has very good workflow that provides significant benefits to a business in the time spent entering, coding and approving expenses, whilst greatly improving expense policy enforcement compared to a paper based system.

Ensuring Expensify is properly set up, and you staff are properly trained in using the system is essential if you are to benefit from your investment.

Working with you, we can either review your current implementation or implement Expensify from scratch, to ensure it delivers to the expenses policy that you want it to.

We can then define the training your managers/approvers and staff require, to ensure your use of Expensify is as hassle free as possible.

WorkflowMax is a Project Management software system, now owned by Xero.

The system will allow you to control a project/job from quote, through issuing invoices, recording time spent on the project by staff to project reporting.

WorkflowMax is ideal for service based businesses who track how their staff spends their time.  Projects can be set up to bill based on time charged, if that is how your business operates.

Ensuring WorkflowMax is properly set up, and you staff are properly trained in using the system is essential if you are to benefit from your investment.

Working with you, we can either review your current implementation or implement WorkflowMax from scratch, to ensure it delivers to the maximum.
