What are FMAs contributions beyond numbers and accounting?
Though skilled as management accountants, we identify ourselves as strong financial managers and operational business people. We’re privileged to possess the perspective, ideas and resourcefulness that come from having worked intimately with the management teams of more than thirty small companies. To assist owner-managers with key decisions, we provide both informal input and formal, rigorous analysis. We are a sounding board to help a business owner tackle many different business issues. We’ll help make tough decisions more quickly – we’ll be the bad guy, when necessary, so the business owner doesn’t have to be. That might involve: helping set tougher performance standards, better accountability, quicker decisions in terminating non performers, delegating more, putting teeth into company policies, or, dropping a favorite but money-losing customer. Good medicine often tastes bad. Taking that medicine early on is important to keeping or restoring good financial health. FMA continuously
