Business Services
Advice You Can Afford
Recognizing that small businesses typically view consulting services as unaffordable, Cathedral Consulting Group, LLC is delighted to provide you with cost-efficient services.
Leadership coaches provide assistance in the implementation of specific Human Resource strategies and accounting firms offer tax-related services, often on a one time or annual basis. Cathedral, however, provides advice on the best practices for your business and then follows up consistently to ensure implementation for the growth and success of your company. As a firm we offer access to a broad knowledge base of technical and industry expertise.
Our business services include:
Business Review
Owners and managers of small companies typically become consumed in day-to-day management of the company so that a time for reflection on the overall business is overlooked. A Business Review provides this business perspective and is the most helpful initial step in diagnosing the current health of your business.
Board Services
Boards bring fresh ideas and provide valuable input and mentoring to a company. Cathedral’s Board Services are a proxy to the board meetings typically held in larger, publicly traded companies. Cathedral consultants function as a board for your business. As an external source, Cathedral offers an outside perspective that helps to identify problems that internal management may not see.
Mergers & Acquisition Consulting
Cathedral assists the company through the decision and negotiation process regarding an acquisition, financing, sale, mergers, buy-sell agreements, or turn-around to bring it to a successful resolution. We assist clients in assessing their needs, preparing them for the transaction, potentially introducing them to funding sources, and aiding in the negotiation of terms.
Collective Board Services
Designed from our private Board Services program, Collective Board Services is a cost-affordable opportunity for small business owners to gather in a group setting and reflect on operating results of their business while anticipating upcoming business concerns through financial statement analysis. In addition to examining current marketing strategies and prospective revenue sources, Cathedral offers advice on current and long-term business issues via a new topic each month that is pertinent to the business cycle.
Business Plans and Strategic Plans
Cathedral aids in the development of business plans for companies that are starting up. We also assist in creating strategic plans for established companies as they anticipate the next three to five years. Strategy also includes the development of financial models projected three to five years as well.
Financial Analysis
Analysis of financial statements helps a business owner to better make timely decisions on such issues as whether to offer a regular discount to a large customer or to determine how large the available bonus pool should be based on profits. We can also analyze financials of your customers or prospective customers who have public companies to determine potential risks they might bring to your company.
Bookkeeping Services
Cathedral recognizes the importance of financial statements to manage a business well and maximize profitability. To assist the small business owners in maximizing time and resources, Cathedral offers bookkeeping services. Scanner technology is utilized for electronic document submission. Data is available online 24/7 in QuickBooks via a secure server.
Transfer Management to the Next Generation
Many small companies desire to maintain the family business and are concerned about the ability of the next generation to manage operations. Cathedral will help to prepare the successor through regular meetings to discuss leadership transition and to provide customized training based on specific area of needs.
