What good is controlling in an SME?

Controlling is an essential basis for good management decisions. Without controlling, the managers just run the SME blindly. But a trained controller is a very expensive employee. This book will teach you everything you need in an SME – and you don’t even need to employ an expensive controller!

The book provides an introduction to the mysteries of SME controlling. In addition, he focuses on the development of the strategy. It shows 12 strategic analysis methods that can be used to successfully plan an SME’s strategy.

The book analyzes in detail the tax evasion trap in which many SMEs in Central and Eastern Europe struggle and shows the way out of it. It examines and plans sales from 4 different perspectives. It prioritizes seven types of special costs that help sales. It shows how to implement budget management for other overhead costs.

It provides detailed guidance on how an efficiently structured SME organization should be and how it should be regulated. It also deals with performance measurement, productivity reporting and performance pay.

The book describes the annual planning process. The process ended in a sales and financial model for the company in a spreadsheet. In the simulation model you can see the impact of various changes and imagined futures on profits, productivity, wages and other important indicators. By uploading the real data into the model, the company’s management dashboard can be created from it.
