Firstly, I will save you cost. This is because in business there are normally only two levers you can pull and push to drive value. And as I don't focus on the sales lever, because I am an accountant, I can therefore only realistically pull the cost control levers.
And in doing this, it frees up resources to ensure value is driven via sales growth, market growth or product development.
Having a strong background in organisational Governance, Risk Management and Compliance means that I will ensure that your house is in order, risks identified and mitigated appropriately and that all the Compliance boxes are ticked. Then if I have enough time available I can see about influencing that other lever, namely sales.
