With an external and impartial review, you can ensure you are on the right track


As a successful business, you’ve probably already got some decent financial reporting and forecasts in place but are unsure about what this is actually telling you and whether you are reporting on the right dynamics.

You might know exactly what operational steps you need to take for the future success of your business, but do you fully understand the impact on your financial position and do you have the right coherent information to create strategies and plans.

At Avonglen, we will help you review and assess your financial situation and look at ways to improve reporting and profit margins and ensure your business is in the best possible position.

Challenge my view

You wouldn't have got where you are without making the right business decisions. However from time to time we can all benefit from a sounding board and external, impartial perspective of our business strategy, plans and operations.

We will get to know your business, both the numbers and your strategy, to understand your long-term objectives and ensure your business is set on the right path. We’ll act as your right-hand man or woman and your First Lieutenant, providing insight and advice every step of the way.

Reporting and analysis

Whether you’re a growing SME or more established business, you may be in a position where your financial reporting and analysis is insufficient or out of date or no longer fit for purpose.

Whatever the reason, we will work closely with you to review your internal reporting and processes and provide analysis on how it can be improved. We'll help you introduce any new reporting structures you need so you can be confident about having the right information as you grow.

Improving my cost/profit ratios

Profit margins can fluctuate depending on several external factors, but most businesses will cater for this in their forecasts and have a sufficient buffer. However, there are likely to be ways you can lower the cost of service delivery or product supply/manufacture by making some internal changes, which will strengthen your cost-to-profit ratios.

We'll take an in-depth look at your systems, processes and supply network to identify areas where you may be overspending and how we can reduce your production/service delivery costs so that your profit margins increase.

  • I have been using the services of Avonglen, and Tim and William in particular, since I started my business in 2004. From a one-man band to a business with several offices throughout the South, they have guided me at every step of the way as my business has grown. Their practical help as well as their strategic guidance have ensured that the decisions I’ve made have been well thought through. Their input at every stage, from their preparation and analysis of my management MI to my application for SEED/EIS status, has been invaluable.

  • Hobbs Rehabilitation has grown in size and complexity over 12 years without a designated financial lead. The founders were finding it increasingly difficult to keep on top of all of the demands of a growing business especially in the area of finance. The engagement with Tim from Avonglen has allowed them to delegate the key financial tasks and freed them up to focus on planning the future growth of the company. Tim has assisted with strategic advice, budgeting, financial reporting, re-structuring the Hobbs group of and in negotiations with key partners. This has helped us to realise new avenues for growth and reduce key risks in the business. He is a good listener and always offers valuable advice.
