Business Planning & Growth.

Standing back and looking at the ‘big picture’ is challenging when you spend all your time just running your business.

But investing just a little time on regular strategic growth and planning sessions can make a huge difference in the next five, ten or more years. We can work with you to identify and take advantage of opportunities, maximise your financial resilience, and deal with issues or problems.

Your CPA qualified FAJ accountant can assist with matters ranging from personnel to technology, productivity and succession planning. Together, we can create detailed strategies for ongoing development and success.

How we can help
FAJ Planning & Growth

Strengthening your business strategically.

By proactively planning for growth with your FAJ CPA accountant, you’ll not only form a more cohesive and actionable plan for the future, you’ll be better equipped to face day to day issues and opportunities.

Business Forecasting.

Looking back to look forward.

Your FAJ accountant can help you interpret your business data in ways you’ve never thought of, identifying patterns and practices that can lead to opportunities. Together we can forecast where your business is headed, giving you the insights you need to make strategic decisions around growth and progress.

Business Roadmap.

Building a clear path to success.

Knowing exactly where your business is going gives you the information you need to make decisions around the future – what equipment will you need? How will it affect staffing? What are your ultimate aims? How will you finance it all? Working with us can provide you with the answers, giving you confidence to make strategic decisions that will benefit your business.

Quarterly Strategic Meetings.

Together we’ll work through a range of areas of strategic importance to your business.

From retirement and succession planning to finance and risk management, assessing your competitors, reducing overheads and costs, and getting to know your customers better so you can target those you prefer, regular sessions allow us to cover the issues that matter to you.

Let’s start your future now. Contact us today.

Having your FAJ accountant as an objective but informed observer beside you when you work through these matters gives you clarity and purpose.

What would you like to discuss?

The primary benefit of working with your FAJ accountant is that you can set the agenda. While we’re happy to recommend topics that our business customers have canvassed with us in the past, it’s your strategic future, so you choose.

Some of the ideas we’ve discussed before include:

  • Retirement and succession planning.
  • Finance and risk management.
  • Assessing your competitors.
  • Getting to know your customers better.
  • Technology and the future.
  • Processes, systems and efficiency.
  • Marketing effectiveness and opportunities.
  • Reducing overheads and unwanted business costs.
  • Targeting preferred customers (and losing the bad ones).

Frequently asked questions and answers.

What do you need to know about our Growth and Planning service?

Our first meeting is our opportunity to get to know you, your business or organisation, your financial affairs, and of course for you to get to know us. We will have a discussion about your business, it’s history, structure, ownership, trading and future opportunities. We will clearly explain the role we can play, and can give you an indication of costs.

Once you make the decision to appoint FAJ as your accounting or audit firm, we will prepare an engagement letter that sets out our respective obligations and expectations. From there we will contact your previous accountant or auditor as a courtesy and gather any information required for handover and change your details with the Australian Taxation Office or other regulatory bodies.

Please refer to our ‘contact us’ page for full details of where to park.

Our preference is to meet in person where possible as for many clients it results in a more personalised experience. However we are more than happy to consult via alternate methods including video, telephone, email or mail.

One of our core values at FAJ is to charge a fair value fee, so we take a common sense approach to this. If you make a small enquiry that can be answered in a reasonable timeframe (without requiring research), there is unlikely to be an additional charge for emails or telephone calls.

Where clients make a significant number of enquiries, we reserve the right to charge based on our hourly rates. Additionally, we will charge for complex advice, research, taxation amendments and objections.

We charge a fee based on hourly rates for all meetings.

These are regular one to one sessions that can address almost any aspect of your business, from issues and problems identified in financial projections, to specific compliance, market, technology, production or HR matters, to retirement and succession planning. The agenda can be set by your FAJ accountant or by you, and follow-up actions determined for either party.

Business forecasting is about looking and planning ahead for 12 months or more so that you can make pro-active adjustments. We can assist with business forecasting and to give you the tools to monitor the forecasts and how you’re tracking against these, so you know which areas of your business need the most focus. You’ll be better prepared for any challenges coming your way so that you can make well-planned decisions ahead of time.
