Management advisory

Our role is to turn observed performance into useful, well-founded and actionable decisions.

We clarify your business model, analyse profitability by activity or segment, and establish reliable management benchmarks on which you can base your decisions.

We assess different scenarios objectively, evaluate their impact and prioritise the available options.

At the end of the engagement, you have robust quantified assumptions and a structured set of materials ready to be presented to internal stakeholders or financial partners.

Financial performance management

KAERUS implements a consistent, stable and immediately actionable financial management framework.

We build clear management dashboards, cash flow plans and forecasts designed to support secure decision-making.

Working capital requirements are monitored regularly to identify opportunities to release cash wherever possible, without weakening the organisation.

Variances between actual and forecast performance are analysed in depth. They are explained, documented and translated into concrete actions, enabling management to regain control rather than simply absorb fluctuations.

Our approach

The engagement begins with a precise scoping phase to align objectives, indicators and the reporting timetable.

We ensure the reliability of the underlying data, design a dashboard with strong analytical value and define relevant alert thresholds.

At each reporting period, we examine variances in detail, identify their causes and assess them within the broader dynamics of your business.

Our reporting is firmly action-oriented, with clearly prioritised actions, formalised decisions and assigned responsibilities.

Our tools

We use Power BI and Excel to build reliable, clear and scalable models.

Where appropriate, we also implement lightweight Business Intelligence solutions to automate part of the reporting process and provide immediate visibility over key indicators.

Our deliverables integrate with your existing systems, including your accounting software, banking environment and operational tools, reducing manual data entry and improving the security of your data flows.

Professional Ethics and Confidentiality

Engagement files are documented and reviewed within a structured internal framework, with regular backups and continuous regulatory monitoring.

Our management advisory and financial performance engagements are conducted in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), using infrastructure hosted within the European Union. Access rights are role-based and sensitive operations are logged.

In accordance with the standards of the French Ordre des Experts-Comptables, we ensure the independence of our analyses, professional secrecy, the prevention of conflicts of interest and the confidentiality of information.

Our engagements are covered by professional liability insurance.

What our clients say about working with us

Previously, we lacked visibility over inventory and purchasing. KAERUS introduced weekly monitoring of sales, stock levels and margins, together with a seasonal purchasing budget and a structured replenishment plan.
Result : inventory turnover improved by 22%, while net margin increased by 2 percentage points.

Retail Business, 12 Locations

KAERUS implemented project reporting covering progress, remaining costs to completion and forecast cash flow. This gave us far greater control over labour and subcontracting variances. Within six months, cost overruns had been cut by half and €180k in cash had been released.

Multi-Site Construction Company, €8m Revenue

Their strategic perspective, combined with a strong command of financial data, enables us to anticipate rather than react. Every discussion contributes directly to improving our performance.

Quick FAQ

Our accounts are not fully up to date. Is that a problem?

No. We can begin using a minimum reliable data set, including bank balances, sales, payables and receivables, while the accounting records are being brought up to date.

How do you select the right key performance indicators (KPIs)?

We work with you to define a focused set of genuinely useful indicators, such as cash flow, margins, working capital requirements and DSO, and remove anything that does not support decision-making. The objective is to help you make better decisions, not to accumulate figures.

How often should management indicators be updated?

Ideally, every month. Monthly updates provide a clear view of variances, help anticipate cash flow pressures and support more secure investment decisions.

What is the difference between management advisory and financial performance management?

Management advisory focuses on understanding profitability, cost structure and the main drivers of business performance. Financial performance management turns those analyses into practical tools, such as management dashboards, cash flow forecasts and financial projections, so that results can be monitored and decisions adjusted on an ongoing basis.
