KPI Action Plan
Dear Accountant,
In my last post you had graduated as your client’s Financial Management Advisor through designing and interpreting their first management accounts v budget to start uncovering the business drivers of financial performance.
Now to install KPI (Key Performance Indicator) reporting which predicts financial results by months, enabling adverse trends to be corrected before the event. Here are the classic measures and their data sources, more than enough to keep any business on track.
As you monitor these and see their effects on the results that follow, you start to build Business Management Advisory experience and that of your client, by seeing and understanding together the activities that drive financial performance.
By implementing ‘before and after’ management reporting you’ve now placed your client in a position of power to build a great business and yourself in a lifelong ‘trusted advisor’ relationship. That opens the door to you becoming a Business Management Advisor, which I’ll look at in my next post. Meanwhile, you can take a closer look at this and all the tech here.
With kind regards from
Duncan
