Are you effectively using your limited resources? Spending time on your company’s critical success factors – the technology, your products or services, and customers? Or do you spend time on administrative details?
Do you have top notch support staff? Are you confident that the accounting, IT, and other business functions are being handled properly? Or do you have to provide constant oversight while occasionally finding surprises and errors?
Does the executive team have a solid understanding of the business & financial fundamentals? Are you getting proactive guidance along with basic compliance? Or do you regularly wish that someone with domain expertise can complement the team and help map out the future?
Startups and small businesses are often caught between doing everything themselves or hiring junior staff to handle important functions. However, there is a vast gap between staff level work and executive level contributions. Without sufficient scale to hire multiple people, the choice is:
- overpaying for an overqualified individual who spends most of their time unhappily tending to clerical work; or
- using a lower level person whom you hope is handling the basics correctly while losing out on the broader experience which can take your business to the next level.
Do you have an expensive CFO who enters information into Quickbooks and mails checks to vendors? Do you have an IT technician who doesn’t realize that the email system they installed last year is inadequate and needs to be replaced?
Clients of Arul & Associates have chosen to let us solve these issues - either through complete outsourcing or tapping the skills of a part-time CFO or CIO . Our seasoned professionals have run their own companies and can provide executive level expertise while managing the day-to-day work of bookkeepers, technicians, and administrative staff. You benefit from having executive insight without the executive pay and ensuring that routine work is supervised and done properly.
