For better results

Within a company there is almost always room for improvement, but in the daily routine there is often a lack of time for in-depth analyses.

At SINCERIUS, we have the knowledge and experience to look at a company with a broad and fresh perspective. We perform targeted analyses and provide insight into which strategy fits best. In doing so, we do not only look at the numbers, but also at the world behind them. We investigate, interpret and translate this into concrete and well-founded advice.

Reporting Improvement 

The focus is on providing insight into essential steering information. We do this with our data-driven approach, which results in: 

  • Insight into the most important value drivers, ensuring goals within the organisation are better aligned with one another. 

  • Management reporting with a clear focus on the right data and analyses. 

  • A reliable dataset for analyses and reporting, which is relevant for a (future) audit obligation or in preparation for a sales process.

  • A reduced dependence on the owner-manager(s), making the handover during a potential sale more efficient or allowing the owner-manager to step back from day-to-day operations more easily.

By compiling an integrated dataset and focusing reports on the key steering information, there is one clear direction within the organisation and the company is ready for the next step.

Operational Improvement

Within operational improvement, enhancing efficiency and process optimisation are key. Our focus includes the following:

  • Margin improvement through:
    - analysis of profitability per product and activity
    - analysis of internal processes to identify efficiency opportunities
    - supplier analysis
    - optimisation of selling prices 

  • Identifying growth potential 

  • Cost savings based on benchmarking and historical analyses 

  • Company-specific improvement opportunities 

In addition to our data-driven approach, we also look at the organisation itself. We work together with staff and management and build on existing knowledge. We identify both quick wins and structural improvements and support implementation where necessary.

Working Capital Management

We ensure control over working capital and keep liquidity on track. Collaboration with our advisors leads to results in both the short and long term: 

  • Greater visibility into costs and liquidity through cash flow forecasting tools, providing control over working capital. 

  • Optimisation of working capital management, with a structural improvement in liquidity.

  • Insight into what is going well and what can be improved. With our BI platform, working capital remains continuously transparent and the focus remains on improvement.

By unlocking trapped cash, the changes fund themselves and the costs are recovered over time.

Our data-driven approach

Performance Improvement starts with data. Business Insight by SINCERIUS, our BI platform, makes data accessible and brings it together for a complete picture. To achieve this, financial and operational information from all available sources is unlocked.

All reports and analyses clearly arranged in a single dashboard at the press of a button: for real-time insight into the company's performance.

When is Performance Improvement needed?

Performance improvement adds value at every stage of a business or investment. We provide support in realising maximum value in the run-up to a sale through an M&A Ready process, making a flying start after an acquisition, or taking the next step in development, such as revenue growth or profitability.

M&A Ready trajectory

Value optimisation upon sale begins with thorough preparation. Many companies are not yet fully prepared at the start of a sales process, while starting early offers clear advantages:

  • Among other things, margin optimisation, cost savings, freed-up cash and created comfort for potential buyers extract the maximum value from a deal.

  • Less dependency on the owner-director, insight into the key value drivers and reliable reporting ensure a smooth transfer.

  • A consistent and reliable dataset limits questions from advisors and information requests during due diligence, which lowers transaction costs. 

Following an acquisition

Following an acquisition, it is important to get off to a flying start and make an immediate impact. Partnering with our advisors ensures:

  • Insight into the key value drivers, including the profitability of activities and products, margin analyses and growth potential. 

  • Implementation and optimisation of management reports and closing procedures. This allows the focus to remain on essential steering information.

  • Formulating and executing improvement plans aimed at margin improvement, cost savings, working capital management and optimisation of operational processes. 

The next step

We understand that entrepreneurs and investors are constantly focused on the next step. We support making this step faster and with solid foundations by:

  • Insight into the key value drivers, as a basis for targeted acceleration. 

  • Implementation and optimisation of management reports and closing procedures, with a focus on essential management information. 

  • Drawing up and executing concrete improvement plans for operational processes, margin improvement, cost savings and working capital management.
