Inputs:
Information about sales is the obvious input when thinking
about your business’s financial performance, but there are many others too.
Here’s where some of the apps and software can also add real value. I
use Futurli (formerly Crunchboards), a system which links to your Xero or
other cloud accounting platform, and produces configurable dashboards of
critical insight into your business. There are other versions
– Fathom and Spotlight being the main two.
This is where the real magic happens for me, because in analysing
your numbers we can look at a wide range of scenarios ahead of when they
might happen, work through all the possible impacts, and leave you better
prepared to make the right decision quickly when the time comes.
It’s like having a regular health check on your business which means
you not only know it better, but you have an understanding of what might
happen in a range of scenarios.
