- Operational monitoring
Every business needs to monitor workplace operations so that they can develop strategies designed to improve procedures and protocols. As a business scales up in sales or in size, the task of monitoring becomes more important. Monitoring operations requires management oversight, employee feedback and customer reviews. Improving these operations requires analysing data collected to identify the underlying problems and to find resolutions. Our experts help to ensure that businesses continue to meet customer requirements, whilst driving the detailed transition plan.
- Cash management
Our experts work closely with customer so that we are updated on the optimal cash balances of our customers. As there are several methods that try to determine this magical cash balance, which is the precise amount needed to minimise costs, yet still providing adequate liquidity to ensure bills are paid on time, one of the first steps in managing the cash balance is measuring liquidity, or the amount of money on hand to meet current obligations. There are numerous ways to measure this, they include:- Cash to Total Assets ratio
- Current ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities)
- Quick ratio (current assets less inventory, divided by current liabilities)
- Net Liquid Balance (cash plus marketable securities less short-term notes payable, divided by total assets)
The higher the number generated by the liquidity measure, the greater the liquidity and vice versa. However, there is a tradeoff between liquidity and profitability which discourages firms from having excessive liquidity.
