Business Planning with Ake Accounting
BDE approached Ake Accounting to support their Mahi with a business planning session to maintain the growth trajectory of this business.
During the session, our Business Advisors identified that the directors of Browns Detail Earthworks were facing some common business challenges. They were time-poor, unable to be present with family. They needed a deeper understanding of the business cash flow impact and they weren’t setting goals or operating from a clearly defined and documented business plan.
Working closely with the business directors, Ake Accounting provided specific tools such as the 10 Hats Organisational Chart (a valuable tool for assessing your current position and a way to plan your structure and team roles), strategies such as delegating responsibilities and financial advice such as ensuring future cashflow is stable. This has resulted in Browns Detail Earthworks being able to set solid and realistic goals and gain strategies for achieving them.
The outcome of this whaunaungatanga was a written business plan which provided clear, strategic direction to overcome challenges. It detailed actions needed to achieve goals, and provided a path to business health and whanau happiness.
With Ake Accounting as a business advisor providing specific tools, strategies and advice, Browns Detail Earthworks are now implementing its new business plan. They have delegated responsibilities to others within the organisation which has freed up time to spend with whanau. As a result of our work together BDE are also pursuing a further business opportunity that aligns with the strategic direction of the business.
By unlocking its business potential, Browns Detail Earthworks is on course for continued success, as well as maintaining a presence with whanau.
