BOTTOM LINE PERFORMANCE
Ian brings skills and a strong track record to analyzing and identifying why the bottom line of a business is too low. Cashflow is the lifeblood of a business and profit is its longevity. There are so many factors in getting these right and careful analysis and observation (plus a good nose for operational performance) are essential.
If a business isn’t performing well, the owners/managers probably are too close to the problems to identify them. An objective examination brings insight into needed corrections.
Rule number 1: Never lose money.
Rule number 2: Never forget rule no. 1.
