Here is how MathildaRock can help you make a big difference to your business.

decoding the jargon

Understanding your business accounts can be like reading another language, one that you don’t have the time or energy to translate.
I speak fluent accountantese and will translate what your business accounts are telling you into a language that is meaningful to you.
No more mystery!

identifying cash drivers

Cashflow issues often top the list of business owner concerns.
More than just creating forecasts, I can look into the influences behind the flow of your cash, including processes, pricing, policies, performance and people.

uncovering your story

Did you know your accounts tell the
​story of your business?
Buried deep in your numbers are the secrets to your financial past, present
​and future.
Using ratios and trend information, I can uncover your business story to give you a clearer future.

changing bad processes

Are your processes and systems letting you down? Are they inefficient or opening your business to fraud risks? 
With my internal audit and fraud experience, I can help you spot gaps and tighten processes.​

data + context = knowledge

Your business is specific to you and your financial analysis is too.
Data will only tell you so much. Relevant data needs to be mixed with the right context to create the knowledge that will give you the edge.
I will talk with you about your business to understand the whole of it, not just a set of numbers.

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE

I do the doing.
Having agreed a course of action, I can set it all up for you, I can train your team and show you what to look out for. 
I can give you a solid foundation to build your future on.
If you have an understanding of the jargon, our service includes:
profitability, costing, performance/liquidity trends, productivity, margins, recoveries, variance analysis, forecasting, sensitivity ... among other techniques

IN MORE DEPTH

Your accounts tell a story, let me find that story so you can make informed decisions for the future.
Business financial performance is more than just tax and compliance. 
As your business grows, so does the need to produce good quality reporting and provide information that is important to you
​for strategic decision making.
I bring you my knowledge and experience to help you feel more confident with your business accounting, understand your business's financial performance, identify areas for improvement and make informed decisions to reach your goals for ​your future.

But I won't do that...
* I won't do your ongoing bookkeeping or accounting
* I won't do your income tax returns
* I won't offer any income tax or investment advice
* I won't try to sell you a new financial software system
* I won't charge you the time for me to learn new things
​PLUS
* I don't take short-cuts
* I don't select the popular option, just because it's popular
* I don't pretend to know all the answers
* I don't do ordinary
Some legal stuff:
By the very nature of our profession, any advice or guidance given on this website or in open training resources are general and generic in nature. The majority of my focus is on better business practices and knowledge.
For detailed transactional or taxation advice relevant to your business, please ask your financial accountant or bookkeeper.

If you wish to replicate any advice, guidance or training for your own purposes, please have the good grace and manners to ask first.
​I value politeness very highly.​
