Consulting
To succeed in business, you need to be able to keep a lot of balls in the air. Just one of those is your business finances – but it’s the heaviest and most important ball in the mix, which means you need to keep a constant eye on it.
Without a good handle on your business finances you will struggle to understand how your business works, whether you’re in profit, and what you need to do to grow. But by understanding the financial heart of your business, you can gain a better understanding of the rest of it too, and create a roadmap that leads to success, whatever that may look like for you.
At Adstrum, our consultants have decades of experience in both financial control and management as well as in business strategy, making them the perfect match for any business owner who’s kept up at night worrying about their business performance. Some of our consulting services include:
Outsourced Finance Department
A finance manager is a valuable investment for any business. They can help drive your company strategy, push for maximum performance and profitability, and ensure you as the business owner are kept on track and making good, informed decisions. But you may not be ready to hire someone in-house just yet. At Adstrum we can act as your outsourced finance department, providing a range of services including your own finance director service, business planning and forecasting, board management and meeting attendance and more.
Due Diligence
Whether you’re starting work with a new supplier, looking at financing a new piece of equipment or considering seeking investment from outside your business, it always pays to be diligent. There are a number of checks you can do to just make sure you’re making the right decision, using the right suppliers and make sure you aren’t putting yourself or your business at risk. Adstrum can take on this role, performing due diligence checks to keep your business safe.
Processes & Procedures
In order for your business to run like a well-oiled machine, you need to have a solid set of processes and procedures in place – especially when it comes to finance. Without good systems in place you can quickly lose track of what’s happening within your business, and this can lead to some serious problems. Once we’ve assessed your business from a birds-eye view, our experts can design and implement bespoke processes, procedures and financial systems to ensure everything runs smoothly, with as little effort from you as possible.
Advice on Raising Finance
Most, if not all businesses require some level of funding at one stage in their life cycle. If your business needs to raise finance for a specific project, to break into a new market or to fuel your growth, it can be a tricky exercise. At Adstrum we have experience in finding out what kind of finance makes the most sense for your business and can guide you through the process step by step. We can provide you with the information you need to make the best financing decision and create all of the documentation you need to support your application.
Mergers & Acquisitions
A merger or acquisition is likely to be one of the biggest transactions you undertake as a business, and it is far from simple. Whether ownership of a business is being transferred or you are absorbing another business into your own our team can support you in managing the logistics, finances and consolidation of assets necessary. We have worked with a number of companies on merging their company or acquiring another business, so we can give you advice and guidance from the first step right through to completion.
