Finance function systems quicklinks
Others feel their admin team has grown more than their business and the back-office function is costing more than an additional salesperson. Or their admin team constantly seems to be falling behind – with everyone always busy, but little obvious progress. Building a strong back-office ‘platform’ will help you and your team run the business more efficiently and cost-effectively.
Even worse than having inefficient processes is not having appropriate controls in place – but this is quite common. It could be something as innocuous as not seeing the unpaid customer invoices report every week. Perhaps salespeople are changing T&Cs for new customers without approval – or the ‘finance person’ is making payments without anyone checking them. Good controls ensure everyone knows there are checks and balances keeping the business safe – but they won’t be noticed in the running of your day-to-day activities.
Fundamentally, as your business grows, your finance function needs to adapt to become a better, more efficient and less labour-intensive engine at the heart of it all. It’s time to tighten up.
