Financial System Analysis
With a core objective to help Managing Directors and CEO's in small to mid-sized businesses across multiple industries, Equity and Law starts each engagement with a comprehensive review of the entire business strengths, weaknesses, operations and threats. This includes 13 core areas spanning financial operations, reporting, applications, business practices and procedures.
Stategic Recommendations
After completing our review of the business, strategic recommendations are created to optimise each of these core business operations and remove any obstacles hindering business success. These recommendations are uniquely tailored to improve the overall speed, accuracy, security and cost of producing the critical, real time information that Managing Directors and CEO's need in order to monitor and manage all facets of their business.
Professional Implementation
Following a consultation, specific actions are agreed upon and recommendations implemented on a fixed price basis to improve performance and reduce costs.
Comprehensive Outsourcing
Equity & Law also offers outsourcing options for the full range of financial operations to maximise the benefits of the improved efficiencies. This enables our clients to achieve economies of scale that would otherwise be impossible. Typically, the run rate costs to outsource operations of a new system is 50% or less of the original system costs.

> Executive Insights
Equity & Law assists companies to get better business intelligence so they can make better business decisions. The following guiding principles are intended to offer insight into what you need to make your business operations run smoothly
Focus First on the Needs of the Business
Equity and Law solutions are designed from the top down to give Managing Directors and CEOs the insight they need to run their businesses more intelligently. The first priority is to identify the critical information each business needs to most effectively manage growth and meet key performance objectives. The next step is to ensure that all key indicators-essential to meeting both current and future goals-are readily available to the Managing Director or CEO at all times.
Keeping it Simple
Most projects get needlessly sidetracked on the with every feature imaginable. The reality is that efforts should be made to focus on the 20% of the tasks that generate 80% of the results. Generating more information than is needed to make an informed decision is a net negative. In addition to taking more time and resources, it creates distracting noise around key data points.
> Collect Data at the Source
> Data that is one step removed is data that is one step less useful.
> Gather Data Electronically
> Most errors in data systems are created by manual data entry.
> Eliminate Redundant Operations
> Data output and re-entry slows the cycle while increasing the potential for human error. When single
data entry isn't possible, establish electronic import/export bridges to accelerate the task and
eliminate errors.
Software
This creates inevitable ties to the author for support and can create problems if the author leaves, moves or loses interest.
Use Best-of-Breed Software
Turn to the experts for the most configurable, reliable solutions available. When faced with a choice between features and reliability, choose reliability.
Leverage ASP Solutions
This eliminates the need for a host of network support surrounding a business' most valuable data, providing:
> Freedom from daily backups of key data
> Freedom from tape storage and retrieval
> Freedom from being tied to the office
Since both installation and upgrades are automatic, downtime is virtually eliminated. In addition, ASP models ensure the Managing Director or CEO has real-time access to the critical data they need from anywhere in the world.
Kill Paper Processes
They are slower, more labour intensive and more error prone than electronic processes. This includes eliminating:
> Paper time cards
> Pay cheques
> Paper bills from vendors
> Cheques to vendors
> Paper invoices to clients
> Cheques from clients
> Streamline Data Management Protocols
Most documents and information can't be found because those that store or retrieve this material don't know where to look for it. Make your electronic financial filing system identical to your paper filing system. The goal is to create something that is intuitive to the Managing Director or CEO and others requiring access to the records.
Close Financials Weekly
Large work in progress piles can create a whole host of problems, including:
> Delayed reporting
> Missing or incomplete information
> Wasted time
The solution is to have a clear operational calendar that is consistently followed on a weekly, and if needed, daily basis.
Document the Process
Never let yourself be held hostage to unknown methods. If only one person knows the process, they are held hostage-unable to take vacation or even get promoted. What's more, your company is being held hostage-unable to grow beyond the individual's bandwidth and/or expertise.
