Bookkeeping & Accounting

All businesses start with an idea. No matter how big or small, this idea is a seed full of potential. With roots in the right spot, nurturing and direction, this seed can grow into endless branches of opportunity. WMC Accounting are dedicated to helping our clients achieve their financial goals through business advisory services.

One of the integral assets to invest in for your business is knowledge - the value of such cannot be underestimated. This extends beyond the realm of cash flow, to identifying key performance indicators in management or staff performance and determining how to improve. Those with owner-managed businesses in particular benefit from the expertise of WMC Accounting. With many years of advising and supporting family owned and operated businesses under our belt, we're confident in both the quality of the consultations we give and our ability to help small business owners tackle the challenges that come with entrepreneurship.

Everyone has the power to set their dreams in action, however, there's nothing wrong with extra guidance to start off on the right foot. Consulting with expert business advisors is a wise move in transforming a good business model into an excellent one. The first step in achieving goals is establishing them in the first place, made easier through effective strategic planning.

WMC Accounting's strategic planning processes breaks down the bones of your business to extract the essence of what you're doing, so in the end your goals essentially write themselves. Part of this includes:

• Isolating your key objectives and goals, both short and long term.
• Defining the characteristics and quirks of your company, both current and future.
• Establishing key performance indicators to measure successes and losses.

Such advice isn't restricted to new businesses. In fact, there's huge benefits for existing companies to review their business model at pivotal points - it's crucial to follow the right track to strive for commercial success. Whether expansion is on the cards or a total re-brand, seeking expert business advisory services means the choices you make are educated. No decision should be left to chance.

Looking to the future

When it comes to running a small business, treading water is good - but it isn't great. For a truly sustainable business, you should be swimming towards your future goals with full direction and confidence. Here's where forecasting comes into play. If you're an existing business, this involves trawling through sales history and trends to create an accurate assumption of how yours will perform at different points of the year or seasons. For new businesses, forecasting might involve an analysis of your financial situation, how other similar businesses have performed or continually checking in to get a clear scope of your performance.

Though we at WMC Accounting have helped small businesses in and around Geelong for years, our techniques and strategies are by no means in the past. We're continually looking to the future to improve prediction strategies, including incorporating quantitative forecasting into our predictions. This method electronically correlates a range of data points to paint a clear picture of cash-flow over a given period. That being said, the best forecasting blends advice both old and new for an accurate prediction.

Risk and reward

The modern business environment is one filled with risk. With competition not only on your doorstep but in the cyber-sphere too, it's important to evaluate any risk so your business is prepared to mitigate such challenges and create a plan for dealing with them. Assessing risk involves a deep analysis of many aspects of your business, including:

• Your position in the market compared with competitors.
• Internal and external factors, such as employees and the volatility of stock.
• Current and potential investments.

With WMC Accounting by your side, you're already in prime position for getting your business ahead. For more information on our expert business advisory services, get in touch with our team for a friendly consultation.
