Business
Planning
- A well thought out business plan details the strategic direction of
the organisation for the next five to ten years. It is critical for
good management, for raising capital and for growing the company.
NOSRAC will facilitate a market and industry analysis, formulate a
market strategy, operational plan and financial plan and assist in
determining the organisation's future direction.
Financial
Management
- While most organisations employ accountants and tax agents to
handle day to day financial issues, there is need for managers to
think far more strategically in the finance area. NOSRAC provides
specialist services to help managers better understand their
company's financial position and to plan and manage financially. We
can formulate short and long term budgets, performance and reporting
requirements, prepare submissions to banks and other lending
authorities, advise on various options to improve financial
performance and strategically guide financial management.
Management
Reviews
- Periodically, every organisation needs to re-think its overall
strategies, management and operational structure. NOSRAC has
extensive experience in analysing the appropriateness, efficiency,
and effectiveness of organisations and recommending value-adding
improvements. We can review the whole organisation or particular
segments, and can undertake a risk assessment to advise management of
priority areas for review.
Project
Management
- Good project management is the key to successful implementation of
major changes within an organisation. NOSRAC will work with
organisations during the whole project cycle to ensure tasks are
clearly defined, timeframes are appropriate, resources are allocated
efficiently, deadlines are met, project officers held responsible for
allocated tasks and management is kept fully informed of the status
of the project.
Risk
Management
- The pro-active management of risk within an organisation is one of
the major challenges for today's managers. NOSRAC will carry out risk
assessments, implement risk management plans to deliver real savings,
both financially and in human resources terms. This will enable
managers to take control of their risk management in a way that will
allow them to plan for contingencies, establish appropriate resource
allocation and reporting systems and assist in educating staff to
think and act wisely.

Why contact
NOSRAC Management and Consulting Pty Ltd?
There are many things a business
person would like to achieve but is not able to because of a lack of
time or particular expertise. Sometimes you have a good idea that you
would like to discuss with someone else but do not know who to speak
to. You may be concerned about your market share or the fact that you
cannot gain new customers or that existing customers are not buying
from you as much as in the past. You are worried that technology is
getting the better of you and that you wished you had someone to show
you how to keep up or learn a new skill. The sheer need to handle
vast amounts of information causes you stress.
If you feel that this describes you or
your business, NOSRAC Management and Consulting Pty Ltd could provide
the help you need. Why not give us a ring and we will arrange to come
and discuss the matter with you.
