Mentoring & coaching of finance staff. Having the best systems in place is ineffective if they’re not being used in the best possible way. For that reason we conduct training of your staff to show them the best way to use the systems, the easiest way, with the best results. We explain the “why” so your staff buy-in to the process and have an understanding of what they are doing. Where short-cuts are available, we like to show your staff how to use them to save them time, and you money.
Creating a positive environment with focus on team effort. Having led many teams, we understand how your staff will function so much better as a team than as a collection of individuals. We ensure that there is redundancy built into the training so that one staff member can fill in for another as and when required and that each in his or her own role works for the benefit of the others in their respective roles.
Developing learning culture and succession plan for finance departments. As well as developing efficient systems, we can fully document these processes which gives you two main advantages. Firstly, in the event of an unplanned employment termination, you are in a solid position to install a new employee into the role with easily understood instructions readily available. Secondly, by having these procedures fully documented, the value of your business increases significantly as one that a buyer could step into. We always keep a business owner’s exit strategy in mind, no matter how far down the track this may be.
Evaluating Payroll and other HR systems. Although we are not Industrial Relations experts, we are financial systems experts and the payroll system is one of the financial systems. We have had significant experience setting up and operating various payroll systems and are happy to make this experience available to you.
Superannuation processing such as SuperStream. This is an extension of the payroll system and one that is becoming more highly regulated. It can be a very time consuming area, so the advantage of a well set-up superannuation system for your employees saves time and therefore costs to you on an ongoing basis.
Assessing training plans. Many training plans are put in place for compliance purposes. With our expertise we are able to assess these plans and ensure that they are structured to benefit your organisation and a first priority, and to comply along the way.
