Zinner's team of experts can help you get the financial reports and data you need to make educated and impactful decisions for your business.
In addition to historical financial reporting, the following reports provide data needed to make proactive management decisions.
Financial Modeling
Constructing a financial model requires a strategic approach and a careful evaluation of financial and other economic factors that affect a business. When constructing a financial model, we take a multi-variable approach. In addition, the modeling process must be flexible in changing variables to demonstrate stress points at which decisions will need to be made about adding employees, purchasing additional equipment, extending terms of financing, etc.
This sophisticated, multi-dimensional model allows management to evaluate a variety of "what-if" scenarios to determine favorable course of action for the business. These financial models can also be used to create forecasts for internal management, lenders, investors, as well as other third-parties.
Budgeting
Constructing a budget is an important aspect of the management of a business and can help provide important guidance on how an organization procures and utilizes resources. But constructing a meaningful budget can be a time-consuming and intimidating task. Zinner's team can help you develop detailed budgets for individual departments as well as an entire enterprise.
Zinner's team can also help you evaluate your performance against the budget and help you identify areas of risk and potential improvement, allowing you to make better business decisions. The budgeting process is dynamic and acting upon actual variances against the budget has a direct impact on profitability.
