BUSINESS STRATEGY

“In the long run men hit only what they aim at.” Henry David Thoreau. Walden.

We challenge mindsets from working IN the business to working ON the business.  We want clients to see beyond their singular role and work to clarify long-term goals.  What is the impact you want to have?  You must work towards goals.  Many small businesses have no idea what those goals are.

Did you know, like most people, most companies are also living paycheck to paycheck?  We believe it’s important to educate on best practices so businesses can build a solid foundation and plan for a bright future.  There are magic numbers in your business for savings target, profit margins, employee compensation, and tax liabilities and we help define those figures.

The Keane Process:

  • Review company status and see where you align within the industry currently.
  • Discussions to identify personal objectives and set near and long-term goals.
  • Regularly provide recommendations for operational improvement.
  • Run forecasts and scenarios to achieve profitability targets.

For many years I had a long-standing accountant who diligently filed my personal and corporate taxes, but I longed for a dynamic consultant who could help me with the big picture of finance, cash flow and regulation. Since then, I have been blessed to have Cianna as part of my team. First off, she spends a good amount of time with each of her clients and becomes very familiar with their needs and growth potential. If there are problems or issues with business function, she will quickly seek solutions and in this regard, I have always heeded her advice. 

Infrastructure-wise, she knows the terrain of daily business strategy and there is really no question she cannot answer. I have come to understand that she is highly respected in Boston among major accounting firms.  Cianna is worth her weight in gold to any small or medium size business where cash management is a strategic factor in success.
