Reporting packs can be one of the best ways for businesses to get insight into what is really going on in their organisation and to make more profit.
Every business owner wants to know what is happening in their business.
Understanding your business can often feel like an iceberg where what you see day-to-day as a business owner is just the small portion of the iceberg above the surface of the water, but there is a lot hiding below that you don’t know about. When business owners realise how little they understand what is actually going on in their business, they can feel quite worried and anxious to gain a better understanding.
One of the best ways we have found to give business owners understanding of what is going on in their business is reporting packs, creating more profit.
1) Financial insight
Know the numbers in your business is a must for business owners.
When a business has a regular reporting package prepared by an external professional, such as an outsourced CFO, it does not need to worry that the key financial numbers in their business are wrong.
2) Identifying key numbers
Knowing what numbers are relevant in your business and your industry is critical.
Typically, businesses will work with a professional to identify which numbers they should report on, but this is an evolving process. Once you have been through a number of internal reporting cycles, it can become clearer to you what exactly you should be tracking in your business.
3) Starting the right discussions
Sometimes the most important thing that can happen is that the right discussion is started.
Sitting down with your reporting pack and really analysing the numbers can be a good jumping point for the discussion “What is the next best step or steps we can take?”
Once you have the numbers in front of you, you are better equipped to make strategic decisions.
