OUR MISSION | YOUR BENEFITS

We enable entrepreneurs to confidently make the best decisions, always.

  • 01

    You will neither invest money you don't have available, nor will you not invest enough when its available - your company will grow faster and more profitably.

    02

    You do not loose time you could invest in growing your business to analyze some "underlying detail" - you will always see them clearly.

  • 01

    You get all benefits while paying a lot less for a better qualified person to provide the service you need when you need it, instead of hiring somebody expensive full-time who may or may not fit to you and your business.

    02

    You will not pay severance either when it turns our you hired the wrong person or the service is not for you - you have full flexibility at all times.

  • 01

     You know what you see has been triple-checked and is reliably accurate.

    02

     You will have a clear view of the road ahead - you always know where you stand, you can see where you are going and prepare in time even for "unexpected" and rapid external challenges. There are no unanswered questions that may come back to haunt you.

    03

     You can embrace VUCA - the volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity of the (modern) business world. Because you have the tools to succeed where your competitors struggle and cannot keep up

    04

    You always have a sparring partner who "speaks Finance" and brings pure logic to your entrepreneurial vision and passion. And who asks all questions, even the uncomfortable ones, because as an external service provider, there are no political gains at risk.

    05

     There is no "black box" left anywhere - you KNOW and you will at all times be CERTAIN that it will be brought to your attention or you will be able to spot it if things don't run like a well-oiled machine or trouble comes up…

    06

     …and you know that you can DEAL with any unexpected trouble anyway, so you are even more relaxed.

  • 01

     You will suddenly enjoy looking at effective, perfectly tailored and visually appealing financial statements and reports - because they tell you what you wanted and needed to know and support your decision making (instead of causing a headache... and eye-pain from using a magnifying glass on Excel sheets).

    02

     Some chores like monthly closing and annual filing and reporting are actually becoming fun to do - because everything flows into each other and you look at a "single source of truth" instead of illegible legal details. And you know others will envy how good your external reporting looks like

    03

    You will get well-tested processes and systems in your internal management reporting, which will make EVERY day-to-day business operation smoother and less cumbersome - everybody in the teams knows where they are and what they are doing and double-work and endless loops are eliminated.

  • 01

    All your reporting - financial or otherwise - and to all internal and external stakeholders (including investors and your Board), will look pristine and be reliable and accurate.

    02

    Your investors will love your presentations, and you will feel confident going in because you are prepared to answer even the toughest questions.

    03

     Your Board will be fully convinced that you and your team know exactly what you are doing and they will give you the credit that is due because you give them state of the art material at all times.

    04

     Your former class-mates and fellow entrepreneurs will consider you exceptionally skilled at managing and leading, because you KNOW and you project that knowledge about where your business stands and where it goes at all times.
