How an Old Mill audit can improve your business performance

We don’t just check the numbers — we analyse your business operations to identify inefficiencies:

✔ Are there unnecessary costs in your supply chain?

✔ Are you claiming all available tax deductions and reliefs?

✔ Could refinancing reduce your interest payments?

Without these insights and benchmarking across industries, businesses can waste money without realising it.

Cash flow is the lifeblood of any business. We provide a proactive audit that identifies risks that could impact liquidity and provide practical solutions to keep your business financially healthy.

Audit-driven cash flow improvements:

✔ Identifying slow-paying customers and tightening credit controls

✔ Reducing excess stock to free up working capital

✔ Refinancing options to improve short-term liquidity

With the right guidance, businesses can use audit insights to boost financial stability and plan for growth.

We provide a risk-focused audit identifying financial vulnerabilities before they become serious threats:

✔ Identify areas of internal control weaknesses susceptible to fraud

✔ Stay ahead of changing financial and regulatory compliance

✔ Assess financial exposure in volatile sectors

With the right insights, business owners can make proactive decisions, rather than reacting to financial surprises.

A well-structured audit doesn’t just analyse past numbers—it provides a roadmap for future growth.

How?

✔ Benchmark financial performance to industry peers

✔ Identify profitable areas for expansion with insights

✔ Use audit findings to support business decision-making and strategic planning

Rather than just looking backward, the best auditors help business owners look forward.

Not all audits add value. If your audit experience only consists of routine number-checking, it might be time to ask:

• Does my auditor provide financial insights and business recommendations?
• Have they helped identify cost savings or cash flow improvements?
• Do they understand my industry and tailor their approach accordingly?
• Are they proactive, or do they just show up once a year?

If the answer to most of these is no, your business might be missing out on valuable growth opportunities.

A smart audit firm doesn’t just check financial statements—it works with you to build a stronger, more profitable business.

When choosing an audit partner, look for firms that:

✔ Specialise in privately owned businesses (not just large corporations)

✔ Provide industry-specific insights that are relevant to your market

✔ Offer proactive advice rather than just checking compliance boxes

✔ Invest time in understanding your business goals

✔ Have access to specialists to take advantage of identified opportunities
