Strategy Days

Our clients fall mainly within the band of £2m t/o to £50m t/o. Many are either family businesses or entrepreneurial businesses run by owner managers.

Many of these clients lack formal management training, but have created successful businesses through hard work, resilience and robustness. These clients want experienced, qualified and commercial people to help them with Strategy and Finance. We are doing a number of roles with clients where I run strategy away days (usually two sessions per annum) and where we might also run their finance function either through a Finance Director or a Financial Controller (depending on the size of business and the requirement these might be part-time roles). This enables me to keep abreast of how the business is doing and "what drives the numbers", so that I can facilitate a strategy day, and, "hit the ground running".

It is amazing what can be gained by taking a step back and having a helicopter view of the business and the market it operates in. This can also help with exit strategies or succession within a business.

Secantor supports Activ8 funding round

Secantor is pleased to support the the latest funding round of Activ8 www.a8i.co.uk a ground breaking company in the field of HR analytics.

Organisations these days are more and more dependant upon their human capital for their success. HR analytics takes HR intelligence out of the HR department and into the organisation so that performance becomes transparent. This is at the heart of what Secantor do from a financial perspective, taking a finance function from something that is to do with compliance and upgrading it to  financial intelligence at the heart of the organisation's decision making process.

The "merger" of HR analytics and financial analytics is a "hot topic" and one which Secantor is proud to be involved with.

Not only does Activ8 look at past performance metrics but combines this with predictave technologies to forecast likely outcomes. A powerful tool in assessing the required criteria for individuals that a business is looking to employ. This is is similar to Secantor's financial approach which seeks to build on historic financial information to forecast "what if scenarios" for SMEs. This effectively reduces risk and maximises return.

Let's get HR and Finance working together to add value for organisations!
