Clearer Simpler Numbers

Business Advisory

Clarifying and simplifying the financial numbers

Our team has deep analytical skills. We understand numbers but we are a small minority of people who do. Our experience in being involved, since 1995, with the Centre for Entrepreneurship at Curtin University where we have presented workshops in simple finance to business people like you is that less than 10% of business owners in the SME market get it when it comes to their financial numbers.

Based on our experience with business owners like you, we believe you can run your business more effectively if you could understand numbers better. This could be something as simple as understanding the difference between fixed and variable expenses to the more essential skills of being able to differentiate between the financial information contained in a Balance Sheet as opposed to a Profit and Loss statement.

“The greater danger for most of us isn’t that our aim is too high and miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.”

It is only when you understand the importance of tracking your gross profit, gross margin, breakeven sales and working capital that you will get a better handle on the key financial and operational indicators as to how your business is performing. And it is then and only then that you can work out what are vital Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) that you need to track for your business.

“Your economic security does not lie in your job; it lies in your own power to produce- to think, to learn, to create, to adapt. That’s true financial independence. It’s not having wealth; it’s having the power to produce wealth. It’s intrinsic.”
