We will identify areas where we can improve your business performance, maximise bulkfunding and set time for you to better understand and maximise ‘things financial’ to improve your business sustainability.

• Financial jargon – Want to understand financial terminology?
• Financial audit – We examine income streams, enrolments, staff ratios and direct costs and provide a summary of findings and recommendations to improve the financial viability and performance of your Centre.
• Staffing Matters – Staffing is the biggest cost factor in early childhood. Are your staff child ratios really what you think they are? Managing non-contact and beginning and end of days with enrolments and parent requests?
• Administrative audit – Check administrative systems are comprehensive to avoid MOE funding audit repayments. What APT and Infocare reports should your administrator be providing regularly and what they mean and what actions you need to take.
• Are you maximising bulkfunding? Making sense of bulkfunding –Maths, percentages, fractions, funding handbook, staff hour count, bulkfunding drop peaks and troughs…we make sense of it.
• Actual financial position has no relationship to budget – We can establish a budgeting and annual planning process that will enable you to maximise bulk funding drops.
• Budget and Cash Flow Projections – We can develop a budget, support you getting to surplus positions and understand key indicators. Become in control of financial ‘stuff’ and how to have discussions with Board, management & teaching personnel.
• Understanding Financial Reporting – Teaching you key components in financial reports that need to be monitored and reported on; and how to report in a simplified way.
• Your Centre worth – Determining the value of your business by taking into account child enrolments, daily attendance, MOE funding and license capacity.
• Documentation and Reporting – Helping you understand MOE reporting expectations, and then developing processes and templates for your services to ensure you can meet these requirements. Developing processes and reporting templates that KISS between management and Board/Directors so information is communicated aligned to key indicators.
• Building a Relationship with the Bank – Helping you to understand what banks are looking for when they want to review your financial situation or if you are requiring finance. Managing PAYE and GST payments with the timing of bulkfunding drops.
