CLOUD MIGRATION & WORKFLOW OVERHAUL

There are many affordable, cloud-based software applications available to manage every facet of your finance function. Driven Insights assembles, implements and integrates the right mix of tools to make your information secure, accessible, consumable and shareable. Then we create an efficient workflow – tailored to your current needs -- to ensure your technology platform is leveraged for game-changing insights on an ongoing basis.

TRANSACTION ENTRY & CLASSIFICATION

Entering transactions into your accounting solution is not glamorous work, but by controlling the inputs we ensure your system outputs accurate insights. 

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

AR is about sending accurate, on time invoices to the right customer contacts to enable prompt payment. Easy, right? Then why do so few companies get it right? Most companies invest untold time and resources sending inaccurate or incomplete invoices to the wrong people, before turning their attention to the dreaded collections exercise. Tight receivables management is elusive and falling short is costly. Yet few business owners can dedicate the time to square off and develop and manage the process to get it right. Driven Insights addresses these issues while also finding and implementing the most cost effective payment vehicles (eg: credit card, ACH, other). 

ACCOUNTS PAYABLE

Who likes paying bills? No one. But simply teeing up check runs without a thoughtful process will typically come at a great cost. Is the appropriate person confirming each good or service was received and priced correctly? You make invoice mistakes and even your most trusted vendors do as well. Driven Insights ensures your systems catch these errors. 

PAYROLL

While lax management of any part of your finance function can cost you real money, a lapse in compliance with current payroll laws can land a business owner in jail. Driven Insights generally recommends the use of a reputable payroll processor since it’s an inexpensive way to shift the management of much of the liability to a 3rd party who specializes in such details. However, there is more to managing a payroll process than signing up a processor. You must accurately track employee time, billable hours, vacation, sick time and the like. And you need to get it all right so your most important asset, your employees, remain loyal. 

BANK ACCOUNT RECONCILIATION

Reconciling checking, saving, credit card and loan accounts compares the transactions recorded in your accounting software with those as recorded by your bank. Letting this task go undone, eliminates your number 1 easiest way to catch mistakes. Driven Insights handles all of your reconciliations each month.

BASIC REPORTING DESIGNED FOR YOUR BUSINESS

Great reporting is the foundation for informed decision-making. When linked to the goals you have articulated for your firm, reports help make sure you stay on track. Driven Insights develops and delivers financial reporting to significantly improve your day-to-day decision-making, and in turn, unleash profitable growth.

CPA SUPPORT FOR YEAR-END TAX AND AUDIT

Year end statement work such as a compilation, review or audit - along with tax return preparation – is the domain of your CPA. However, Driven Insights works tightly with your CPA to support these efforts.

FINANCIAL CONTROL IMPLEMENTATION & OVERSIGHT

It is of paramount importance to have the right controls in place as they help ensure you’re operating within the law, your information is accurate and secure and no one is exploiting weaknesses in your system for personal gain. We implement controls to address compliance, taxes, data security, fraud protection and more.

MONTHLY MANAGEMENT REVIEWS

Each month your accounting team meets with you to review your monthly reporting package. We ensure it’s all understood and useful to you. We frequently use these sessions to coach you on relevant financial topics and set goals to measure your firm’s performance in the coming month.

CASH FLOW PROJECTIONS

Need to know if sufficient cash will be in your account when you need it? Do you have enough to cover the next payroll? Can your current cash flow support the next hire or that technology investment you've been eyeing? We project cash regularly so you have time to adjust and ensure you’re covered.

BUDGETING

It’s important to get team members working toward common financial goals. We work with you to engage appropriate team members in the budgeting process to make sure employees are focused on the same goals and you are able to hold them accountable to being cost-conscious and profit-driven.

STRATEGIC PLANNING

Strategic planning without a financial expert in the room is like fighting with one arm tied behind your back. Leave it to Driven Insights to fill that gap and help you plan to take your business to the next level.

BOARD & BANK PACKAGE PREPARATION

Routine reporting to stakeholders is one of our strong suits. The best partners for your business are informed partners who are with you through thick and thin. Let Driven Insights sweat these details so you can focus where you’re needed most. 

PROJECTS

Various finance-related project surface from time-to-time. Maybe you need to upgrade your board package, raise equity, refinance a loan or conduct a detailed profitability analysis.  Driven Insights can step in and fill these needs as they arise.

SOPHISTICATED REPORTING OPTIMIZED FOR YOUR BUSINESS

When financial reports and a simple mix of key performance indicators (KPIs) isn’t enough, we can develop highly sophisticated reporting. Perhaps it’s a set of KPIs unique to your industry. And if it requires a integration with another software tool, we’ll handle that as well. 

CFO DUTIES (on fractional basis)

Most small businesses don’t need a full-time CFO. But all can benefit from a more strategic financial advisor – albeit on a fractional basis – who goes above and beyond what a controller typically does. Among these tasks are thinking strategically about the numbers, teaching the owner how to read basic financial statements, guiding the owner on the journey to using financials as a competitive advantage, securing a loan, raising equity and facilitating good relations with banks and investors. Driven Insights has you covered in all of these areas.
