With a comprehensive data set and reports designed to focus on the most important management information, everyone in the organisation will be on the same page and the company is ready for the next step. Our data-driven approach provides:

• Insight in key value drivers that equalise stakeholder goals within the organization.
• A reliable data set for analysis and reporting by implementing checks and balances - crucial for auditing obligations or to prepare for a possible sale.
• Monthly management reports focused on essential control information.
• Reduced dependency on DMS, making a post-sale transfer more efficient or making it easier for the DMS to take a step back from daily operations.

In addition to our data-driven approach, we focus on the personal side, coming alongside the organisation and building on existing staff and management knowledge. We identify quick wins as well as changes that take more time to implement. With Operational Improvement we focus on things like:

• Margin Improvement through:
  • profitability analysis of different products and/or activities, including direct and indirect costs;
  • internal process analysis to identify efficiency opportunities;
  • supplier analysis;
  • sales price optimisation.
• Identifying growth potential.
• Cost savings based on benchmarking and historical analysis.
• Company-specific capabilities.

We believe in the advice we give and are always willing to assist with the implementation.

Experience has taught us that working capital management is often ripe for improvement or opens up additional opportunities. Collaborating with specialists delivers short- and long-term results:

• More insight into costs and liquidity with pragmatic cash flow forecasting tools that help regain control of working capital.
• Optimised working capital management that ultimately improves the company's liquidity.
• Insight into what is going well and what can be improved. Our business intelligence tool provides up-to-date, automated insight into working capital, letting you remain focused.

By unlocking trapped cash, the changes fund themselves and the costs are recouped over time. And if we haven't found opportunities for improvements or savings? Then we'll be honest with you - we aim to live up to our name.

Plenty of companies are approaching a sale but aren't fully prepared. There is a range of benefits that come with preparing in advance:

• You get the maximum value out of the deal by optimising margins, reducing costs, freeing up cash through working capital management, and reassuring potential buyers.
• Reduced dependency on the DMS, insight into the key value drivers, and reliable monthly reports make for a smoother transition.
• You save on transaction costs. Building a reliable data set cuts down on questions from other advisors and requests for information during the due diligence phase.
