What IDEAS DO I HAVE FOR THE FUTURE OF BURMAN?

  • Two Seperate Teams
  • One Person (myself) leading Burman Perm
  • 2nd Senior (Vinny) leading Burman Contract and Solutions
  • Each lead specializes in their own market
  • Ensures Efficiency and Accuracy
  • As the business grows, each Lead builds their own team, specializing them to be the best at their own market
  • Similar Trajectory to our consultants - Each department has its own specialist allowing them to be the best at what they do in the market they are in.

IDEA 1

IDEA 2

  • TWO Seniors
  • One works all of Burman's non-negotiables - Debt, Invoicing, Credit Control etc.
  • 2nd Senior 100% Project Based
  • Working on Analytics, Forecasting, Budgeting, Cost and Spend.
  • In the simplest form, the best way to describe this method is one person focuses on existing business and the other works on growing the business

WHAT DEVELOPMENT I NEED TO CONTINUE PROGRESSING

  • As well as Personal development, allows me to take on a new role in the business
  • Qualifies me to Bookkeep, Work Profit and Loss statements and gives me industry knowledge to provide you with Resolutions
  • Allows us to keep more of the business in-house - Saving Money as well as being efficient

Why is this effective?

  • ACCA takes on average 4.5 Years to complete
  • I have already completed/exempt from 9 Exams
  • Looking to start studying for ACCA in the new year
  • Take a few hours in the week to sit and study for the exams

bIG EMPHASIS ON COMPLETING MY acca QUALIFICATION'S

Myself and Vinny build our own teams around contract and Perm - grow our respective teams continuously as the business grows.
