Standard Procedures

Developing efficient procedures to ensure the smooth running of routine tasks and maintain close control of cashflow can significantly improve business performance. Agreed standards will be set for:
  • Daily monitoring
  • Weekly forecasting
  • Regular invoicing
  • Routine returns
Effective and efficient – right first time, leaving more time for growth!
Management Information:

Performance measures are key to driving business improvement.
For example:-
  • Comparing actual spend with planned spend or last year’s actual
  • Segmenting your business to understand how much profit and cash each activity contributes.
  • Identifying how much unproductive capacity there is available in both equipment and employees.
  • Comparing the cost of a service with the benefit it brings to you.
We will help establish and monitor appropriate performance measures, and present the results in a way even non financial people will understand – financial insight in plain English!
Staff Development

Your staff are your biggest asset. Their value and contribution increases with their knowledge of the success factors that are critical for your business. Beanstalk can help establish and deliver communication plans and training forums that will develop their knowledge of your business.

Together we will develop a set of key performance indicators that will clarify key targets and ongoing performance against these – helping all staff work harder and contribute more.

Not only success for you but a fulfilled and responsive workforce too!
Business planning

Business planning should be more than just be something demanded by your bank to justify lending you money. It is equally important as an internal discipline so that you have a clear idea of where your business is heading and the potential pitfalls along the way. A long term vision; a medium term journey plan and a short term snap shot of progress are vital – along with a realistic view of your weaknesses as well as your strengths, and potential threats as well as key opportunities.

Beanstalk will work with you to build a number of scenarios showing how profit and cashflow are likely to be affected as assumptions change. This will help you to identify the biggest risks to achieving your vision and what further actions are needed.
Disciplined project management

Business growth will inevitably give rise to new projects – and new projects involve embracing risk.

Just as in rock climbing where a safety rope will offer some protection, in business, planning, monitoring and reviewing a project’s progress will help you manage the risk and alert you to problems in time for you to avoid or develop solutions to them.


We can help you create your own ‘safety rope’, allowing you to be brave in business. You won’t be afraid to make decisions, because they’ll be properly informed decisions!
What we do

Delivering business success requires more than having a great idea. Having a solid grasp of your numbers will help you and your team know what makes your business tick.

Beanstalk will give your business affordable, practical support for as long as you need to challenge your ideas and turn them into profit and cash.
