Recently we have been working with a number of clients that have had personnel changes in their accounting department. Whether that was the accountant or bookkeeper in smaller companies or the controller, CFO or CPA in larger companies.
While some companies see this as a significant change and show concern about getting the new person up to speed or worse, wonder they want to change, others take advantage of this opportunity to make significant positive changes to their company.
Hopefully the first step you took when the departing person gave notice or was let go was to take the opportunity to evaluate the position and what you expect from that position now and in the future to support the needs of the company.
Once you have evaluated candidates and hired the best one to meet the job requirements which may have included knowledge of technology, systems, accounting, etc, you have the opportunity to improve your companies ability to be of more value to your customers and employees.
New people bring experience and knowledge from other companies that can facilitate improving your process, procedures and systems that may have been stagnant for years. Seek out the opportunity verses challenges when personnel leave or are let go.
We consult with companies every day to create efficiency, improve customer service, reduce costs and improve profitability through the use of technology so you don't need to wait for a change in personnel to make improvements. Give me a call to schedule a business review to point out the key things you can start doing today to make your company improve and prosper.
