Covid-19 has been an eye-opener for many business owners, as it has highlighted that they don’t know how many months of cash reserves they have in place or if they are cash-flow positive or negative.
As local accountants, we have been educating our clients on their finances, business continuity and scenario planning and helping them make long-term business decisions to ensure their businesses survive COVID-19. We look at the key things you should be considering.

As well as reviewing your pain points and projecting your cash reserves in a worst-case scenario, we will also provide you with advice, templates and resources so you undertake your own financial reviews.

The simplest solution is often the most effective and we encourage clients to pick up the phone and talk to people as this could help you quickly come to a mutually agreeable solution.
