Business Modelling
In a difficult economic environment, the last thing you should do with your business is gamble on an uncertain outcome. Our modelling software removes the guesswork from making key decisions, and helps you identify exactly what the Key Performance Indicators are that will help you ensure that the business is performing in line with your expectations.
From your last annual accounts, or your start up figures, we can provide you with a detailed analysis of how your business should perform, by changing one or more variables to produce a range of different scenarios, ranging from reduced debtor days, increased prices, reduced product ranges, or a combination of all of the above, or many more besides.
Whilst a 10% improvement across the key drivers for any business would be a leap, we can identify which would provide the biggest impact, which is a great starting point. Alternatively, we can build a series of ‘what if’ scenarios, showing the implications of an increase in sales prices, with or without a subsequent reduction in sales volume, or the effect on cash flow of a gradual reduction in Debtor Days.
To follow are some of the screen shots from the software.
What would be the effect of increasing sales prices by 4% with no loss of volume?

And what would happen if sales volume fell by 5% as a consequence?

And if we changed other variables as well, as shown below, what would be the ultimate impact on operating cash flow?

Finally, we can analyse your business into its component parts, and allow you to compare the way in which each activity contributes to profits and cash flow, allowing you to decide whether each is viable, or where investment may give most return. All of these changes can be viewed in isolation, or in differing combinations, and can be amended at the touch of a button, enabling you to consider a variety of scenarios.

'We wanted to discuss ways in which [Rickaby and Co] could help us to maximise the financial potential of our business.
'[They] prepared our accounts and then used the application QUAD to demonstrate where certain amendments to income and expenditure could have varying effects on our projected P&L. Rickaby & Co has shown us where our focus needs to be for this year and indeed we are reviewing this on an on going basis.'
Quite simply they have helped us to understand our business and what drives our profitability. If we had not used their services over the past months we would not be in the position we are today.'
