Business Advisory
TAG Systems Associates delivers seamless business solutions to the widest range of businesses, including complex business situations.
Overview
What this service is for.
Business advisory is where financial insight meets the way an organisation actually runs. We work on the plan, the risks around it, the systems that record it and the margins that result from it.
The output is not a document. It is a set of changes an organisation can implement and sustain.
Capabilities
What we do.
Each engagement is scoped to what the organisation actually needs. The list below is the range we work across, not a package.
Long-term business planning
How to achieve the organisation's mission, objectives, goals and strategies.
Risk management solutions
Advisory services that reduce the risk associated with future business activities.
Design of accounting systems
Setting up financial and cost accounting systems, and the management of debtors and creditors.
Policies and procedures
Review, design and documentation of policies and procedures, advising on industry best practice.
Profitability and cash flow management
Re-engineering the data structures and processes that generate management information, focusing on the reduction of costs and identifying non-performing units.
Our approach
How we work.
Start from the information
Most operating problems present first as reporting problems. We look at what management actually sees each month.
Follow the margin
Costs and non-performing units are identified against the business model, not against a benchmark table.
Document what changes
Policies and procedures are written down so the improvement survives a change of staff.
Stay through implementation
Advice that is never implemented has cost the client money and returned nothing.
Sectors

This service is delivered across the sectors below. Industry context changes the risks, the reporting and often the whole shape of an engagement.
