  Aristar Financial Consulting offers a tailored package of accounting and financial management support to the recruitment industry. Offering both an outsourced finance function as well as a part time flexible FD resource, Aristar covers the full range of financial requirements to satisfy the SME recruitment agency's needs. Our outsourced finance function offers a highly professional, client & candidate focussed service ensuring full compliance with HMRC and current legislation at a fraction of the cost of an in-house finance department. Whilst our flexible FD resource ensures that you can buy in the expertise your business requires to assist with more strategic issues without the sizeable fixed cost involved with a full time FD. We can assist with the following:- - Developing KPI's to allow your management team to better understand the drivers of their business areas; - Creating market leading remuneration schemes at all levels to ensure staff retention and to drive the next phase of growth within your business; - Assisting with your budgeting and forecasting, ensuring that robust plans are in place in the short, medium and long term; - Assisting with key projects, e.g. systems implementations, audit assistance, process review and implementation etc. We also offer confidential financial coaching. Many exceptional entrepreneurs within the industry run very successful businesses with little or no formal financial training. We can create a tailored coaching program to fill these gaps in your knowledge ensuring you have the financial skills to drive your business even more effectively. Show less
