Kilcoyne Consulting Group offers many services for the small business owner. We know that there are a lot of businesses that struggle with the same basic issues in their day-to-day operations. These issues take the form of questions that many successful business owners find themselves asking.
- What happened to all of my profit?
- Why does this seem harder than it should be?
- I thought we had that in inventory?
- Should we invest money in this equipment/office/warehouse?
KCG is here to bridge the technical knowledge or experience gap in small organizations. We provide the following services to answer those questions.
Financial Analysis – This is designed to answer the “What happened to all of my profit?” question that so many business owners have. We analyze your business’ finances from top to bottom to bring to light any sources of margin erosion that have occurred. We also perform revenue and expense analysis to make sure that all of your costs are known and transparent. We also identify areas in which revenue enhancement can occur.
Operational Analysis – This has an indirect effect on profit, but is mainly geared towards answering the “Why is this so hard?” question. Business owners realize that growing and adding staff adds layers of complexity to an operation. You often do not have the time between bidding jobs, installing jobs, and prospecting clients to analyze why things are not flowing nearly as smoothly as they should be. It can be difficult to see if the problem is processes, communication, or even organizational structure.
Warehouse Analysis – You bought or are leasing a warehouse. You have a part time or full time warehouse worker, yet the jobs just do not go out the door smoothly in the morning. Or you find yourself scouring the warehouse looking for inventory that is not there anymore. You have been there. “I know we had some of that here!” We conduct an in depth audit of your warehouse operations, from layout to inventory control to process flow, done to provide you with options on improving your operations.
Capital Expenditure Analysis – Your business is growing. Is now the time to buy that warehouse space? Or the forklift? Or another truck or two? KCG can help to answer those questions with careful analysis of the options and expenses involved to help you make informed decisions.
Purchasing Analysis/Contracting – Not sure if you are getting a good deal? Maybe you have a large project that you want to bid but just do not have the time to research products, gather bids, or create a quote. KCG can assist with that. No more will you need to hope and pray an unproven crew can do a job so you can bid new work, or have pass on multiple jobs to find the time to put the new bid together. KCG will review the bid requisition, gather the quotes, and put together a bid proposal for your review.
