Business Plans
A business plan is a document that should help a business owner to look ahead, allocate resources, focus on key points, and evaluate his or her company's Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats.
Some business owners spend so much time on day to day business they lose focus of their longer-term goals.
A business plan is the written business objective in which we identify the internal and external factors that are favorable and unfavorable to achieve the goal. We will also prepare the detailed financial projections which are an essential part of any business plan.

Financial Forecasts
Financial Forecasting describes the process by which businesses think about and prepare for the future. Using historical internal accounting and sales data, in addition to external market indicators, a financial forecast is an prediction of what will happen to a company in financial terms over a given time period. Businesses use forecasting to do financial planning, to identify goals and priorities and to determine asset requirements and needs for external financing.
The most difficult aspect of preparing a financial forecast is predicting revenue. Future costs can be estimated by using historical accounting data; variable costs are also a function of sales. Without a forecast, you have to rely on past results - and it's often too late to make a change if you're already off course. A financial forecast allows you to use your resources where they're most needed, so you can control your business, instead of it controlling you.
Executive Coaching
We help business owners and executives develop the skills that enable them to achieve their business and personal goals. Private coaching sessions allow you to explore business or personal issues that complement or detract from your goals. We will help you solve particularly sensitive issues and teach management and leadership techniques that can be immediately put into practice.
Part-Time CFO Services
If you are a small to mid-sized business, having a chief financial officer is a basic necessity. It is critical for one person in your organization to be focused on creating long and short-term financial goals, obtaining financing, improving profitability, handling risk management and ensuring financial information is timely and accurate.

Cash Flow Management
It is absolutely critical that you know exactly what your cash balance is. Cash flow management is a challenge for almost any business, large or small. Small businesses are especially vulnerable to cash flow problems since they frequently operate with inadequate cash reserves or none at all and worse, tend to miss the implications of a negative cash flow until it's too late.
For financing purposes, cash flow projections are generally the most crucial aspect of the business plan.
You need to perform a cash flow analysis on a regular basis. We can help you with your cash management requirements.
Expense Reduction
The goal of hiring an Expense Reduction Expert: to increase your profits through improved contract negotiations, vendor analysis and comprehensive account management. We are uniquely prepared to help you slash your business costs quickly. We survey your current services, identify inefficiencies and overcharges and present you with a cost- savings analysis that may be both retroactive and future-forward.
Turnaround Consulting
We can help you save your business.
You may already know your business is in trouble, but may lack the resources, experience or time to turn things around on your own. Trying to go it alone is not only a lonely, but ultimately a "sure-fail" response to a business crisis. Because you're not an expert in business crisis management, you're almost certain to make mistakes that will jeopardize your company.

Financial Statements
A financial statement is used as a diagnostic tool business that owners can use to evaluate their company’s strengths and weaknesses.
Balance sheet: The balance sheet is the company’s performance at a given time, such as the end of a quarter or fiscal year. The balance sheet identifies your company’s assets and liabilities
Income statement or profit-and-loss statement: The income statement summarizes a company’s revenue and expenses for a given time period.
Cash flow statement: This records the amounts of cash and cash equivalents that flowed into and out of a company in a given period. It is used to measure how much cash a company has on hand, which influences its ability to pay suppliers and employees.
Business Organization
Job Descriptions
Job descriptions are an essential part of hiring and managing your employees. These written summaries ensure your applicants and employees understand their roles and what they need to do to be held accountable for.
Employee evaluation
Your business must have a method for effective employee evaluations. Employee performance evaluations will help you evaluate employees and motivate your staff to work harder.
Business Entities
The type of business entity you choose will depend on three primary factors: liability, taxation and record-keeping. Here's a quick look at the differences between the most common forms of business entities:
· A sole proprietorship is the most common form of business organization. It's easy to form and offers complete managerial control to the owner. However, the owner is also personally liable for all financial obligations of the business.
· A partnership involves two or more people who agree to share in the profits or losses of a business. A primary advantage is that the partnership does not bear the tax burden of profits or the benefit of losses-profits or losses are "passed through" to partners to report on their individual income tax returns. A primary disadvantage is liability-each partner is personally liable for the financial obligations of the business.
· A corporation is a legal entity that is created to conduct business. The corporation becomes an entity-separate from those who founded it-that handles the responsibilities of the organization. The corporation can be taxed and can be held legally liable for its actions. The corporation can also make a profit. The key benefit of corporate status is the avoidance of personal liability. The primary disadvantage is the cost to form a corporation and the extensive record-keeping that's required. While double taxation is sometimes mentioned as a drawback to incorporation, the S corporation (or Subchapter Corporation, a popular variation of the regular C Corporation) avoids this situation by allowing income or losses to be passed through on individual tax returns, similar to a partnership.
· A hybrid form of partnership, the limited liability company (LLC) , is gaining in popularity because it allows owners to take advantage of the benefits of both the corporation and partnership forms of business. The advantages of this business format are that profits and losses can be passed through to owners without double taxation of the business itself while owners are shielded from personal liability.
Organizational flow charts
Flow charts are used to understand how employees fit into the work process. They also are helpful in understanding the flow of information and help employees understand where they fit in. They are also used to find potential problems and make changes accordingly to promote improved performance in the business. It shows the relationships between job positions and illustrates the structure of all the jobs by rank.
