Budget Compilation

The budget is the soul of your business. It determines what you value, how you operate, and ultimately the success of your business. However, very often your budget is not given the attention it deserves. We will guide you through the process to ensure your budget actually reflects the work your business is doing and plans to do in the coming years.

Cash Flow and Budget Analysis

Good cash management improves your company’s liquidity, reduces costs, and increases profitability. We help you maintain optimal cash flow by examining your budget and creating forecasting models that identify periods of cash shortfalls to allow you to plan ahead. We can help you modify your expenditures, re-balance the budget, or explore short-term cash infusion to ensure you have information and resources to foster your business’ success.

Cash flow analysis should be a part of your annual budget compilation and any other time your business undergoes major changes. We can make sure you have a firm grasp on your financial position.

Financial policies and procedures provide your organization with a clear outline that delineates the roles, responsibilities and authority that are necessary for proper financial management. We will assist you in the creation of detailed policies and procedures that will reduce risk for your organization and give greater security to your staff, board, and donors or investors.
