SYSTEMS FOR GROWING ENTERPRISES

GROWING ENTERPRISES NEED FINANCIAL HELP

Your business is growing quickly and steadily. You know that with experienced financial help, you can probably do even better. Think about these questions:

• Is your pricing right?
• Are your controls strong enough that you're not losing cash, inventory, discounts or opportunities?
• Can your payroll records withstand a review by government auditors?
• Is your property and casualty insurance program adequate and well-priced?
• Is your estimating and bidding process producing profitable contracts?
• At what sales volume are you losing money, breaking even or making a profit?
• Does your budgeting process make it easier to review and understand your financial statements?
• Is your financing adequate for your sales volume, and is it appropriately priced?
• Are your financial reports giving you the best insight into your own business?

GROWING ENTERPRISES MUST TAKE ADVANTAGE OF TECHNOLOGY

In so many ways, today's growing enterprises are able to take advantage of technologies that were previously unavailable to even the largest corporations just a short time ago.

• The cost of powerful personal computers continues to fall.
• Business software for personal computers is now very user-friendly and powerful, with features long thought to be too sophisticated for small business software.
• The World Wide Web opens low cost opportunities for growing enterprises to market their goods and services, find and cultivate new suppliers, and communicate with customers, suppliers and remote locations, all through the Internet.
• Communications technology enables small businesses to stay in touch with off-site personnel and remote locations as if they were around the corner.
