Are there specific services that are required by Aged Care providers?
The answer to this question depends on the stage of the business and the proprieters. However a service that is always needed, notwithstanding the stage of life of the business or the proprieters, is our Chief Financial Officer Support service.
This is a service that assists you to ensure your business is operating with best practice financial management processes and outcomes.
This service enables you to make the best management and business decisions by ensuring you have access to timely and accurate periodic reporting of actual business performance (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow on a monthly basis by service area as required) compared to Budgets and KPI's.
We also believe that new sources of capital will be required by residential aged care operators to:
- Maintain capital expenditure for ongoing operations (maintenance)
- Replenish the balance sheet as accommodation bonds are paid out net (as predicted by KPMG report analysing the effects of the Government changes), and
- Obtain new capital levels to enable expansion of existing operations and investment in new operations - to be able to sustain delivery competitively priced services over the longer term.
Best practice financial management and financial reporting go hand in hand with obtaining these new and needed sources of capital.
