As a business owner, you’re ultimately responsible for driving your business forward. To do this, you need professional advice, insight and clarity. Why? Because managing change, gleaning insight, facilitating communication and achieving financial growth all fall within your mandate, and truth be told, it’s a big job – and you need to assemble the right team.
Realistically, you can’t be everywhere at once and some things are just not your area of expertise. So how do you grow a business, be sure about where you are going, clear about what you need to achieve and armed with the right information to anticipate and avoid obstacles? Enter the team director (or if you’re into cycling, the directeur sportif).
In bike racing, the team director will tell the group what lies ahead, the tactics to apply, how the team will work together to overcome unexpected obstacles and take advantage of opportunities ahead. This information needs to be relayed with precision and timing is critical. Without an experienced, educated and insightful team director, you’re essentially riding blind.
Director of Accounting at Start Grow Run, Kyle Clarke says, “Accountants are often pigeon-holed as being reactive, tax and BAS focused service providers. This stereotype is not always unfair – many fail to consider the bigger business picture and simply provide a series of finite, transactional services. Start Grow Run provides business owners with timely information that empowers you to steer your business with agility and finesse and keep things on track. Businesses that thrive and reach targets quickly often have an ‘exception to the rule’ accountant sitting at the decision making table.”
Much like the team director, the right accountant can play an essential role in navigating business growth. For more information on how Start Grow Run can co-drive your business and provide team direction and advice, get in touch today.
