London, UK (PRWEB) November 12, 2007 -- Owners of growing businesses face multiple problems, not least is the myriad of financial concerns associated with running and developing a business - concerns that are usually common, whatever the industry. Doubtless, many business owners and entrepreneurs will be familiar with the following statements.
You run a successful business. You have managed the trials and tribulations of start-up and taken your business to its current position. You've experienced the worries of poor cash flow. Now you see tremendous opportunities to grow your business, however, like many business owners you are struggling through lack of time to exploit those opportunities. In short you are suffering considerable business pain.
Business owners are often 'time poor'. This lack of time is usually because they are tied up with numbers and administration, trying to understand the profit and loss account, balance sheet and cash flow, equipment leasing, financing options, finding business funding and managing internal accounting staff. Often an external accountant does not offer that much needed pro-active support. Business owners are rarely well versed in critical financial requirements, so more time is sucked into an energy draining process, leaving less time to do what they are really good at - developing and growing the business.
Most businesses recruit an in-house accountant or a bookkeeper to take some of the financial burden away from the owner and access 'professional' skills to deliver usable financial information. The problem is that many businessmen find only frustration, disappointment and exasperation.
Frustration caused by the length of time it takes to finalise monthly figures. This regularly leaves owners to make business-critical decisions without up to date business information. Disappointment generated by in-house accountants or bookkeepers that produce the numbers but do little to pro-actively help the business owner plan, manage and control the business. When business owners then turn to an external accountant for pro-active support that disappointment increases as they never seem to get off the fence on anything. They produce year-end accounts and sign off the audit, but although many they say they offer pro-active business advice, they never seem to understand the business issues - the advice is usually generic rarely specific.
Finally, business owners suffer from that most draining of emotions, exasperation. They see tremendous opportunities to develop the business that cannot be turned into reality because they remain bogged down in the administration demands of finance and accounting.
Get off the treadmill and focus on growth, control and profitability
