Gain control over your company's finances and profitability
Do you have a good understanding of your company's finances and how to create profitability? Not all businesses do. We will be happy to help you get to grips with your company’s specific financial conditions and opportunities.
Have confidence in your finances
Wondering why cash flow is low even though the business is doing well? Weighing up an investment decision but unsure about the possible impact on your business? Keen to increase your company’s profitability and need assistance to develop an action plan? Finding financial reports and key performance indicators difficult to interpret?
The importance of keeping a close eye on your company’s finances
Regardless of your level of interest or knowledge in business administration, after meeting us you will have a clear and comprehensive understanding of your company’s finances and an action plan for your specific focus areas.
But why is it so important to maintain control yourself? Well, you need to take personal responsibility for and ownership of your company’s finances instead of relying on ‘someone else’ to monitor the situation and alert you if measures need to be taken.
As an entrepreneur, having a firm grasp of your business’ finances is crucial. Even minor adjustments can have a significant impact on your liquidity.
This is how Almi can help
Together, we will examine your company’s current financial situation in a less complicated manner than traditional reports.
As an entrepreneur, having a firm grasp of your business’ finances is crucial. Even minor adjustments can have a significant impact on your liquidity.
We can help you examine your current situation and simulate your future business and finances to increase understanding of how different goals and measures are likely to affect your company’s finances.
Among other things, we can help you to:
- visualise your company's finances;
- compare your company's finances with a competitor or the industry as a whole;
- identify potential challenges;
- evaluate and visualise your future plans/scenarios;
- gain greater insight into what drives profitability and growth in your company;
- understand how your income statement and balance sheet are interconnected and, most importantly, how this affects your cash flow;
- compare your business model with your competitors or the industry as a whole;
- develop an action plan with prioritised areas for development; and
- recognise future opportunities to finance your company with equity and/or loans.
We promise 'aha' moments and tips on how to avoid common pitfalls.
We ask the questions and together we find the answers. Our point of departure is always your company’s specific needs and, regardless of whether you are a well-established business or a startup, we will help you to go from words to deeds in your entrepreneurship.
What might your journey with Almi look like?
We ask the questions and together we find the answers. Our point of departure is always your company’s current position. Whether you have come far in your sustainability journey or are just setting out, we help you to transform words into deeds.
First meeting: Discussing your needs
During our initial meeting, we will discuss and assess your company’s needs and challenges and explore how Almi or other actors can help you meet them. We ask the questions and provide you with the tools, you have the answers and, together, we make a plan for the future.
Before we take you on as a client
Your Almi advisor will propose a course of action for your approval. Whenever we initiate a business relationship, we also ask the client to fill out a Customer Dues Diligence (CDD) form. This is so we can protect ourselves, our customers and society at large from criminal activities such as money laundering, trafficking, drug dealing, terrorist financing, the illegal arms trade and tax evasion.

A sustainability dialogue to equip you for the future
Whether the next step in your relationship with us is a loan or a business development service, you will be expected to enter into a sustainability dialogue with us. Sustainability is a vital issue not only for the planet but also for you, and your customers and employees expect you to engage with it. This is where our sustainability dialogue comes in. Whenever you avail yourself of Almi’s services, we will conduct a sustainability dialogue focused on your company’s sustainability management.
You will obtain basic knowledge of sustainability in general and how it affects your business and development opportunities in particular. You and your Almi advisor will enter into a dialogue about your operations. They will also help you prioritise your next steps. This will leave you better prepared to face the future and more confident that you are investing your time and money in the right areas.
A sustainability dialogue generally lasts for between one and three hours and is entirely free of charge.
What you will take away with you
The route of your journey with Almi depends on the conclusions you and your advisor reach. However, you will always take the following away with you:
Relevance analysis
Not everyone can do everything, but everyone can do something. A relevance analysis allows you and your advisor to identify relevant focus areas for your company to work on.
Double materiality analysis
A double materiality analysis looks at both the impact of your company on people and the environment and the potential financial impact of sustainability issues on your company.
Performance analysis
A performance analysis helps you understand the gap between expectations and the actual/achieved or potential results of your operations. The analysis can be a useful tool to answer questions such as: Where are we? Where do we want to be? And how do we get there?
Risk and opportunity identification
Together with your advisor, you will identify new business opportunities when you incorporate sustainability into your business, as well as the risks associated with failing to do so.
Action plan
After the meeting, you will have an overarching action plan setting out the next steps for your company – whether you take them with Almi, with another partner or by yourselves.
The next stage
Once you and your Almi advisor concur that you have implemented the agreed action plan, we will always call you to follow up the results. This is an opportunity to reflect on questions such as: What measures have been taken? How did it go? And what is your next step?
