Frequently asked questions
1. Who is this service designed for?
This service is designed for mining and resources contractors with growing payrolls, multiple projects, and increasing compliance complexity who need reliable financial data to operate and grow.
2. Isn’t this just bookkeeping?
No. While bookkeeping is part of the service, the focus is on financial control — ensuring numbers are accurate, timely, and structured for management and CFO-level decision-making.
3. Why is this critical for contractors?
IBIS data shows labour and operating costs are the primary margin drivers. Without accurate cost allocation and reconciled data, margin leakage often goes unnoticed until cash pressure appears.
4. Can this service stand alone?
Yes. Many clients engage us initially for Financial Control before upgrading to Virtual CFO support once the foundation is established.
5. How often is reporting provided?
Typically monthly, with frequency aligned to contract activity and payroll cycles.
6. Is AR simply invoice processing?
No. Our focus is not transactional data entry. We structure receivables to align with contract terms, payroll cycles, and cash flow forecasts — ensuring revenue converts to cash efficiently and predictably.
7. Why is AR management critical for mining contractors?
Mining and resources contractors often operate with milestone billing and extended payment terms. Without disciplined receivables control, cash gaps can emerge despite strong revenue performance.
8. Do you manage supplier payments directly?
We provide structured oversight and payment planning aligned with cash flow forecasting. Execution can be managed internally or externally, depending on your operating structure.
9. How does payables oversight protect margins?
Poorly timed payments can strain liquidity and increase financing pressure. Structured payables management ensures operational obligations are met without compromising financial stability.
