Most businesses are leaking money somewhere.
Forrest Advisory looks at how a business runs, finds where the time and money are going, and stays to help fix it. The aim is a business that’s easier to run, and easier to hand on or sell.
The sort of thing that turns up
- Two sites doing the same job twice, in different ways.
- Stock sitting on shelves that hasn’t moved in a year.
- Month-end numbers that arrive too late to do anything about.
- Software you pay for every month that nobody opens.
- Systems that don’t talk to each other, so the same thing gets typed in twice.
- Nobody’s quite sure which part of the business actually makes money.
- A spreadsheet that only one person understands.
- You can’t take a fortnight off without something going wrong.
What we do
- Operational review
- Time on site, watching the work happen. A short list of what’s worth changing first, in the order we’d do it.
- Management reporting
- The numbers the business already holds, out sooner and in a shape that answers the question.
- Running without the owner
- The day-to-day written down, tested and handed over, so the business can be left - and is worth more when it’s handed on.
Does some of that sound familiar?
