Common Problems We Solve
If any of these sound familiar, Finley can help
"Revenue is growing but profits aren't keeping pace"
Finley identifies margin compression - whether it's rising costs eating into profits, declining pricing power, or unprofitable growth. You'll see exactly what's happening and what to do about it.
"I don't know which customers or products are actually profitable"
Customer and product-level margin analysis reveals your true profitability. Many businesses discover their biggest customers are actually their least profitable - and vice versa.
"I think we're spending too much but don't know where to cut"
Industry benchmarks show where you're overspending compared to peers. Prioritised recommendations focus on high-impact cuts that won't harm operations.
"We compete on price and margins are razor thin"
Margin analysis often reveals opportunities to compete differently. Perhaps certain customer segments will pay more, or specific services command premium pricing. Find your profitable niches.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about profit optimisation
What profit margin should I be targeting?
Healthy margins vary significantly by industry. A software company might target 70%+ gross margins while a retailer targets 40%. Finley provides industry-specific benchmarks so you know what's realistic for your business.
How is this different from expense analysis?
Expense analysis focuses on cost reduction and waste elimination. Profit optimisation takes a holistic view including pricing, revenue mix, and customer selection. It's about maximising the bottom line, not just minimising expenses.
Can Finley help with pricing decisions?
Yes, margin analysis reveals your true cost structure, enabling informed pricing decisions. Combined with market rate insights, you can identify pricing adjustments that improve margins without losing business.
What if I discover a major customer is unprofitable?
This is common. Options include repricing the relationship, reducing the cost to serve, or sometimes gracefully exiting. Finley helps you understand the trade-offs and make strategic decisions.
How often should I review profitability?
Monthly tracking catches issues early. Quarterly deep-dives identify structural changes. Most businesses benefit from continuous monitoring with periodic strategic reviews.
Can I improve profits without cutting quality?
Absolutely. Often the biggest opportunities are in pricing (charging what you're worth), customer mix (focusing on profitable relationships), and efficiency (doing the same with less waste). Cutting quality is rarely the best path.
