The Situation
In 2020 the GBES team wanted to enhance understanding across the organization for their financial results. They wanted to find a platform that could communicate the company’s key performance indicators (“KPI”) and help educate its team leaders on what drives the company’s financial results. In addition, the GBES team wanted a road map that could guide them as they made financial decisions impacting their growth strategies.
The Solution: Numbers Coach Leadership and Numbers Navigator Services
The Numbers Coach’s financial leadership services were an ideal fit for GBES. Numbers Coach Mike Iverson developed a financial scorecard to focus on the financial measurements that drive company profits and cash flow critical to sustained profitable growth. The scorecard offers the GBES team an “at a glance” view of results. The Numbers Coach developed a financial model from its proprietary software, the Numbers NavigatorR . The software provides a road map for the GBES team to see where they are positioned with profits and cash flow. In addition, the software’s rolling financial forecast gives the GBES team a tool to make critical decisions and see where they are headed financially.
Results
The Numbers Coach pulled together financial and non-financial data to complete a scorecard and financial model. Each month, the Numbers Coach meets with the GBES team to methodically review results and provide the input and analysis from the Numbers NavigatorR software. From the monthly financial coaching meetings, the GBES team has been able take actions on activities that improve the company’s bottom line results and get the team to all row in the same direction.
