SERVICES
Financial Analysis
Business clients seeking improved financial outcomes obtain overall financial analysis to identify areas for improvement.
Financial Statements
It is important that the accounting system’s capacity is assessed and developed so that key financial statements can be provided.
Program & Dept. Monitoring
A business may have more than one department, product line or program that needs to be measured on regular intervals. Such business segments may require budgets and separate financial reports.
Staff Training
The client’s staff is trained in various accounting tasks to develop capacity from within the organization. It is always the best outcome if the staff skill set can be increased to better support the organization.
Budgeting
Budgets are paramount to business success. The budget process provides a road map for the business. Although it may be clear that business operations are efficient and profitable, it may not be clear what lies ahead.
Product-line Financial Analysis
Manufacturing businesses need to identify margins for each product line. This involves costing the raw components for each product including labor, materials and overhead.
On-site Accounting
The work is done in close collaboration with the client to create clear goals and desired financial results. To achieve these goals, it is important to observe real-time the operations and staff interaction.
CFO By-the-hour
Businesses request these services when they have accounting or bookkeeping staff but are unable to support higher level expertise on staff. Management works closely with ASM to identify areas of concern or areas needing development.
Trusted Advisor
At all times, clients know their situation will be considered seriously and with the utmost regard for the impact on the business. Individualized attention is given to each client while drawing on professional experience and well-rounded business acumen.
