Is your accountant on your team?
Businesses generally need accountants, but sometimes it can feel like an accountant will only provide information about what's already happened, or can't be a player in making meaningful financial decisions about your business. If you view your accountant this way, you probably don't really consider them a member of your team. This means that your overall strategy might be missing the key piece of context that lies in your financials.
Accounting management done the right way
Let's start at the beginning
At Syzygy, we operate as part of our clients' management team to effectively help business leaders strategically plan and make well-informed decisions. To provide the right tools and support, we first want to understand your business' mission and goals. How do you define success for your company? How fast do you want your company to grow? What are your key initiatives for the coming year?
Next, we like to understand how you've organized and already structured your business. Could you use a nimble accounting manager to keep up with a fast-moving process? Or perhaps your account needs to be able to order, control, and piece together a lot of independent components. We find the right balance between protecting your money and assets, while allowing the business to function as easily as possible.
Tailoring our approach to you
We then determine the types of financial reporting that can best facilitate your business management and decision making. Our standard reports address many questions, and our project-based accounting and reporting is well suited for media production and postproduction or other project-based businesses. Depending on your specific industry and business model, we can help develop the management reporting you need-not only for reviewing historical results but also for planning and forecasting future results as well.
How we deliver
Finally, we can be your complete accounting resource-necessarily providing you with accounting data but also critically helping you understand what it means and decide how to strategically invest your money to meet your business goals. A good accountant listens, asks questions, and offers advice on how to deal with business struggles and growth pains-while getting excited along with you about your business' success.
If your high-level, strategic conversations feel disconnected with whafs happening on your income statement and balance sheet, know that there is a more integrated way to approach decision making. Are you looking for an accounting team member who really feels like they're on your team?
