It’s surprising how many clients come to us with their financial affairs in bad shape. Accounts incomplete, accounting delayed, tax affairs unresolved, banking relationships strained or waiting for accurate information, loan extensions declined or waiting for data, cash-flows and business affairs in financial disorder.
Add to that late or missing data which has resulted in bad decision-making. Poor stock control. Insufficient free cash for short term funding. Poor planning, no crisis contingencies.
Sometimes this is because businesses have cut corners and attempted DIY; more often it’s because they just didn’t understand the complex SA regulatory and business environment. Some businesses might be able to muddle through. But a business wanting to expand and grow can’t afford to have any chinks in its financial armour.
