Investors expect clear, detailed, and accurate financial records.
Unclear, summarized, and inaccurate financial statements lead to skepticism about a company’s viability and difficultly in securing funding.
With deep experience advising companies at various stages in their lifecycles, Ascent Financial Consulting can assist your company in building a solid financial foundation.
Stabilize
To make stable, steadfast, or firm
Do you have a clear picture of your company’s cash flow?
Are you having problems forecasting cash, revenue, and expenses?
If founders don’t have a clear picture of their cash flow, their burn rate isn’t known, and they risk burning through capital faster than anticipated.
Incoherent finance and accounting practices make it hard to predict runway length or identify when additional funding is needed, leading to a potential liquidity crisis.
We provide stability to your accounting and financial practices by future-proofing your financial operations. We have broad-based experience to bring immediate improvements to your back-office function.
Align
To give support to or to bring to a state of agreement
Do you have visibility into key KPIs and metrics?
Are your financial systems aligned with the needs of your stakeholders?
The inability to track key performance indicators leads to misguided strategies and ineffective decision-making.
Scaling requires the efficient use of resources, which is not possible without a clear understanding of costs and revenue streams.
We bring your goals into alignment through our experience with financial systems and the tools to gather better data and drive cohesive growth.
Optimize
To make the best or most effective use of a resource
How efficient are your financial resources?
Are you maximizing the ROI in your back-office?
