By October 5, 2017Blogs

Big problems can stem for a business if you are not creating enough money through your staff. If you are struggling to make a healthy profit month-upon-month, the assistance of expert accountants and in-depth reports could be your answer.

Coleman & Co have a team of expert accountants and can make sure that you understand every detail of your business. We will provide accurate and up to date reports about the performance of your business and staff members and how to raise your revenue.

Tracking Performance

Improving your revenue means you must monitor the current performance of your staff members. You might find that nothing is wrong and your business is flourishing without any assistance. However if you do find an issue, this is where you need to start your improvement.

Even if revenue is high, if your profits are very slim then there is a problem with your business and you need to find the best solution to solve this. Whether this is reducing costs through budgeting or using one of many methods to increase staff performance, it must be done! With professional reports, you can find the main weaknesses within your business and find the best ways to improve them.

Finding an employee who is underperforming is not the end of the world, but identifying this quickly is the best way to make improvements and increase the staff member’s productivity.

Use Cash Flow Forecasting

Cash flow forecasting is a great way to compare your actual business performance to what you expect your staff to sell. This can be the perfect tool to see whether your staff or underperforming, overperforming, or performing just right!

Using cash flow reports will allow you to see how much money you should spend. You can then check how much money should be coming into the business and what profit you should make. Once the month is finished, you can compare this to your actual figures. Obviously if figures are only marginally out, there is no need for you to panic. However if your income takes a significant drop, it should be addressed.

Cash flow forecasting is also a great way for you to keep track of ongoing customer payments. You will never have an issue with the possibility of customers not making payments on time. With correct cash flow forecasting, you can see exactly when customer payments should come in.

Creating Revenue Targets & Goals

Having realistic expectations of what your business should be achieving is important to keep the performance of your staff members at a high-level. Coleman & Co can help your business create budgets and forecasts for your business so you know how much you should be spending weekly and monthly to keep profits high.

It can be difficult to set the right targets to your employees first time round as there is a fine line between a hard target to reach and one that is completely unrealistic. By finding the right targets and also offering bonuses and rewards your staff actually want to win, your business could soar. Using cash flow reports can help you measure the success of targets and whether your targets need to be raised or lowered to increase productivity.

Maintaining High Morale

Not everybody likes work and it doesn’t help if the morale of your workplace is always negative. Keeping morale high is something that must be done to maintain good performance from all your staff members. This can be done in several ways:

  • Celebrate Accomplishments
  • Keep Communication High
  • Offer Rewards & Incentives
  • Team Building Events

Everyone wants to have fun when they get to work. However, you must find the right balance between working hard and giving your staff exactly what they want. If you offer rewards in any shape or form on a regular basis, staff are more likely to work hard to achieve the targets they require. This also means they are happier at work because they know they are working towards something extra.
