Clear your path of confusion with clear financial strategies for business that support your decisions and lead your growth.

Not just for the moment, but day after day, hurdle after hurdle, up-to-the-moment support at your fingertips, and customized financial business strategy for growth that you can rely on. One that changes with you as your business and you pivot.

Financial strategies for business you can rely on.

Before you get lost in the memory of financial business strategies that failed you in the past, please allow us to make it clearer. Financial strategies for business come from combining the financial with the operational. These financial business strategies include such things as; sales, marketing, employee resources, and product and service delivery. We assess your current resources and then align them with your company’s mission and goals. They establish a unique plan for stability, growth, and innovation, despite changing and often unpredictable business conditions.

You may have tried a financial strategy for business in the past that failed to provide you the confidence and direction you were expecting them to provide. It’s not the tool that failed you, it’s how it was developed and more importantly by whom.

You may have developed a financial strategy for business yourself since who knows more about your business than you. However, your visionary vantage point often prevents you from seeing your business at the much-needed granular level.

You may have tried to work with a business coach, accountant, or financial advisor to develop your financial strategy for business only to abandon it when it failed to pivot when you did, or it provided you with false information for a critical decision. Or you stopped following your financial strategy for business altogether because you just don’t think that way. It’s easier for you to be guided intuitively. But still, there’s that gnawing feeling keeping you up at night.

Developing a dependable financial business strategy is a living strategic plan. It takes seeing a business at the visionary level, where you live, as well as seeing every level of detail all the way through to your daily operations. It also takes the ability to see where your business is heading and provide customized guidance and direction as it shifts. This skill takes years of focused experience and is best provided by a Chief Financial Officer.

A CFO who… 

• Knows that strategy financial services take many forms.
• Understands business systems and how they work together.
• Offers the dexterity to look into the future to better understand the goals of the business owner.
• Provides accurate, timely financial information.
• Optimizes operations.
• Maximizes profits.

A CFO understands the story your numbers tell and how to use them to make smarter business decisions. You can have a concrete brand mission, stellar products/services, great staff, and inspiring company values. Still, you’ll falter if you don’t have daily financial management that comes from strategy financial services. It’s a bonus if you can find a CFO who has a CEO perspective so that you speak the same language.

All businesses, even wildly successful ones, go through challenging stages; from launch to stability, stability to growth. These stages can be painful, but they don't have to be. It’s the lack of strategic financial business clarity that increases the pain. Businesses that quickly evolve from surviving to thriving, do so with the cohesion of a clear path and the support of the right strategy financial services team. The absence of both causes the uncertainty of and not knowing where your business is today.

Your business is telling you where it’s at this very moment.  Do you speak its language?

Every decision you make, every step you take in your business produces a result. They can be good ones, bad ones, and even neutral ones. Every single result shows up in your business as a number. Numbers are the language of business. It takes real experience and knowing how to speak this language to interpret what they mean. That’s what we do at Clarisent.

With over two decades of speaking numbers for businesses with $1-8 million dollars in revenue, often with complex accounting needs, our passionate strategy financial services team takes a compassionate front-view / rear-view strategic approach to financial stewardship and forecasting, and reaching financial goals. We provide affordable, outsourced bookkeeping, accounting, controller, and fractional CFO services for small and mid-sized businesses.

The most successful financial strategies for a business comes from a team that offers reliable support and peace of mind. We pride ourselves on being flexible and solving problems unconventionally. We are creative and strategic. Not often found with strategic financial services. Our focus is on the goals of our clients, not just the bottom line. We are about the lives that the numbers serve.

To us, success is not solely financial. It’s personal. It’s setting, tracking, and achieving life goals as well, Better relationships. Better health. Happy staff. Giving to causes that make the world a better place to live. Feeling fulfilled emotionally, mentally, and physically. All of these riches are possible as the CEO of your own business. We don’t just say they are possible. We are certain they can be achieved.

To accomplish this certainty, you need to be your own financial team:
BookKeeper

A ground-level day-to-day manager, categorizing all business transactions, handling bills and invoices, reconciling bank accounts, and preparing key monthly reports. Taking the daily, weekly, and monthly financial pulse of your business.

accountant

A highly focused specialist, compiling, analyzing, verifying, and preparing financial records. Creating documents to ensure lawful, efficient, and compliant business practices and making sure you are ready for taxes.

controller

A high-level strategic manager overseeing all financial tasks and reporting procedures. Supervises and guides your bookkeeper and accountant.

CFO

A highly experienced, specifically skilled leader responsible for tracking cash flow, financial planning, analyzing your business’s financial strengths and weaknesses, and proposing strategic directions.

Every one of these roles offers a unique and critical vantage point that supports you and your ability to make decisions to grow your business. How can you expect to take on each of these critical roles and still be able to lead from your strength? Which is your big vision. Honestly, you can’t.

A fractional financial department can bring significant value to your company, particularly small and medium sized businesses, that do not have the resources to hire a full-time CFO or finance team.  In the US,

average cost of a financial department including benefits can cost $541,800 per year or $45,150 per month. 

Our fractional financial team provides access to financial expertise, cost savings, scalability, and improved accuracy. Our all-inclusive, flat fee plans can save you thousands of dollars per month.

 

It’s no wonder you are:

  • Making bad decisions due to unusable information
  • Frustrated with your bookkeeper
  • Worried about making payroll
  • Making wrong turns
  • Experiencing stagnant growth, or worse, going backward
  • Unable to seize opportunities when they arise
  • Losing money despite it coming in
  • Losing excitement for your business
  • Sacrificing your physical and emotional well-being
  • Losing your faith and confidence
  • Losing sleep at night

Why our clients sleep well at night

These are the 7 crucial financial factors Clarisent always has it’s eye on to ensure that you maximize your financial decisions:

Profitability Dynamics

If you are unaware of your inventory, manpower and operating expense details, you can miss important profit dynamics. With Clarisent looking deeper at your cost structures, you can consolidate vendors, reduce product costs and reduce shipping and labor costs with an eye to increasing your margins. This factor can result in thousands of dollars in potential savings or operational efficiency that goes directly to your bottomline.

Vendor Oversight

Clarisent was able to very quickly and skillfully analyze my business, make sense of the problems, and then go on to recommend viable, effective solutions unlike any financial consultant had ever offered. I was so impressed I immediately hired Clarisent to provide CFO services for my small business. It has now been 14 years of working together and I can’t imagine running my business without him! Clarisent has consistently saved my business money in a number of areas, has transformed our financial management to be a seamless process, manages vendor relationships with utmost professionalism, and provides me meaningful, insightful reports that allows me to know exactly where my practice is at any given time. Beyond that, Clarisent has the uncanny ability to ask the questions most people would never think to ask regarding financial strategy, and is consistently supportive in innovating and improving our business practices. I appreciate that Clarisent always shows up with the highest integrity, and have come to really lean on him for support and clarity; his services are integral to my business.
