Having discussed the options with the 'patient', The Financial Doctor will usually:- undertake 'surgery' leading to the client's recovery and good health. This typically involves working to turn the business round and helping to ensure that the client stays on the right track.
To ensure that corrective action remains successful, The Financial Doctor will:
- undertake a follow-up review at a suitable future date.
Following a review with a client, they emailed to say "Thanks. It was a really
useful session. It felt like going to see the GP for a thorough check. It
certainly helped me to think about what I should be focusing on."
The Financial Doctor recently came across an interesting quote that sums up his approach.
On p56 of his book Bean Counters, Richard Brooks writes::
Charles Waldo Haskins - co-founder of the largest US firm at the end of the nineteenth century Haskins & Sells [now Deloitte] - considered an accountant to be 'the consulting physician of finance and commerce.' ... In Haskins' view, it was essential that an accountant 'understands the anatomy and
physiology of business ...[and] diagnoses abnormal
conditions and suggests approved remedies'.
