Financial Planning & Control

Planning

Without a plan you won’t know when you’ve reached your goals, need to change your strategy or what to focus your efforts on.

Mushroom’s experienced Finance Directors and Accountants assist you with financial planning for a range of important business events, including fundraising, incorporation, new business development decisions, acquiring other companies or exiting.

We also work within a network of financial services and investor networks, working with their investment goals and origination processes to make sure you get the most appropriate source of financing.

Control

Every plan needs reviewing regularly. Mushroom prides itself on not only being able to see the big picture, but also getting into the detail, making small improvements to optimise your finance systems. Whether it’s optimising your accounting software or implementing new reports and procedures, our control projects help you get the granular day-to-day particulars aligned with your financial goals.

People & Engagment

Organisation Design

Mushroom helps you establish what skills are missing in the running of your business. From developing role specifications to testing with consultants, we give you a smooth runway to expanding productively and profitably.

Human Resources

It’s important for any business to deal with HR issues in the correct manner. As a business owner, protection for your business should be a number one priority. Our HR consultants can help guide you through any business critical decisions.

Privacy & Information Security

Managing risk to your clients and the future of your business

Our registered and accredited privacy consultants can help you maintain the highest standards of information security and privacy.

We help clients implement privacy by design in software and services, as well as implementing GDPR and DPA 2018 compliant systems:

Policies
Implementing Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs)
Database and Hardware Design
Administrative Processes (DSARs, Breach Reporting, DPIAs, LIAs)

We also act as Data Protection Officers and responsible officers for privacy compliance.

Accredidations & Compliance

Give your customers a great reason to trust you

As well as Privacy and Information Security, we have helped clients meet industry-recognised standards, helping them achieve credibility and recognition for the quality of their service. Whether it’s for heavily or lightly regulated industries, we have project managed numerous accreditation programmes including PRCA CMS, Lexcel and ISO27001.

Our Philosophy

When we say wake up to a world without admin, we mean it.

Risk management and non-income generating activities, although essential to your business, can take up your time, preventing you from focusing on your Marketing Sales and Fulfilment (MSF) cycle.

We strongly encourage our clients to to spend 100% of their time on the MSF cycle while we handle the rest for them.

Prioritise your time on your strengths and profitable activities.

The MSF cycle is a virtuous circle. Building and delivering a great product or service can only make money if it’s marketed and distributed via a solid sales process. Each element supports the other and when optimised, companies become successful.

Because we understand this, we make sure our consulting is fully aligned with how that cycle works in your organisation. Risk Management and non-income-generating tasks complement this process, keeping things functioning well without preventing the cycle from functioning effectively.
