Services
Reporting, planning, and analysis.
Reporting
Management reporting and board packages, produced on a schedule: the monthly or quarterly numbers, in plain language, on the table before the meeting and not after it.
Who this suits
Organizations that answer to a board, a funder, or an owner who has stopped being able to hold the whole picture in their head.
What's included
- Monthly and quarterly management reporting
- Board packages, finished before the meeting
- Plain-language commentary on what moved and why
- Budget-to-actual, with the variances explained
- Funder and grant reporting schedules
- The numbers that matter, not all of them
Planning
Budgets, forecasts and cash-flow models, built and then kept current: what is coming, from payroll and the next hire through to reserves, runway and the year ahead.
Who this suits
Anyone who has built a budget once, watched it go stale by March, and had no time to rebuild it.
What's included
- Annual budgets, built and then maintained
- Cash-flow forecasts and runway
- Scenario and what-if models
- Payroll, hiring and reserve planning
- Multi-year and multi-fund budgets
- Updated as the year moves, not filed in January
Analysis
The figures behind a decision, worked out before you make it: profitability by program, product or job, a pricing change, the real cost of a hire.
Who this suits
Anyone facing a decision big enough that guessing at the number is expensive.
What's included
- Profitability by program, product or job
- Pricing and margin analysis
- The real cost of a hire, a location, or a change
- Break-even and contribution modelling
- Cost allocation across programs and funds
- A recommendation, not just a spreadsheet
Where to start
Not sure which one you need?
Most people are not, at first. A finance review sorts it out: we look at what you have, what you are being asked for, and what is falling through, then tell you what to hand over first.
