Your business’ profitability is frustratingly lower than you would like. This might be impacting your ability to invest, grow your business, pay bonuses or dividends, or impacting valuation.
You have been working on improving profitability and you made process but have now ground to a halt. You and your team have found the obvious low hanging fruit, implemented the costing cutting where it makes sense and are now wondering how to take the next step forward.
When you are so close to your business it can be hard to spot areas that still hold improvement potential. And even when you know where others are doing better, there is still the challenge of working out HOW you improve what you are doing.
When you are in this situation where do you start?
We have met many of our clients in this position. With their momentum grinding to a halt, they were looking for fresh ideas, a new way to look at the problem and the business. They recognise that external input may get them over their current barrier to renewed prosperity and momentum.

Meet our Expert - Jess Coles
I have long had a fascination with improving business performance, representing a significant challenge with many moving parts.
I have spent over 20 years working with world class businesses (Fosters, Innocent Drinks, E&Y) down to fast growing SMEs finding and then implementing performance improving projects. I have also spent over 10 years as a successful investor in both public and private companies.
As a result, I have analysed thousands of financial statements to understand the impact of strategies & business models through to operational choices on business performance.
There is a surprising amount of insights that can be found from this financial information, particularly when you compare against a group of competitors. Our Outline Business Review does just this.
I also hold Chartered Accountant and Corporate Treasurer qualifications.
