Marshall Keen CFO Package - Accelerate

Accelerate

For Early to Mid-Stage companies planning for accelerated growth and expansion

As part of the Accelerate package, we concentrate on ensuring that the most effective fast growth strategies are implemented and followed. The focus is now on rapid growth, with effective supporting systems, controls and reporting, recognising that there will be changes in the levels of service that can be provided to customers.

The company continues to be dynamic and fast moving although changes to the core operations and product set are less frequent. This stage allows for the cessation of certain parts of the business if they are not performing, ensuring focus on the higest return activities. It's about developing a strong, flexible structure to the business.

Cashflow, as ever, is essential, and the marketing and sales reaches a size where measurement and analysis becomes far more meaningful and practical.

The culture of the company will have settled but change may still be required and it will be important to reinforce key controls and systems within the business. Measurement and performance against the business plan will be possible and key performance indicators will be established for better management.

Shareholder/investor relationships continue to be important and additional financing or acquisitions can be considered. Credibility is improving but will still need enhancement to ensure large customers and suppliers are maintained.

Commercial strategies will also be revisited to ensure they are applicable and to highlight where they may be increasing risk such as reliance on a small number of large customers. Exit opportunities and business continuity planning will become an important part of the strategic development.

Effective control systems will require strengthening and rationalising to continue to support the growth and ensure that it doesn't impact the smooth operations of the organisation.
