We thank Swedbank for its initiative for the small business community – the Small Business Academy and for the second Sertika business development service: MB “Pelningi sprendimai” and Audrius Rubinas 4 hours of consultation time on the issue of company financial management.
I received all the confirmations from a professional, what I had only seen through the eyes of a "farmer", and a motivated action plan, tools, and empowerment to improve the company's financial management habits:
  • negotiate with suppliers,
  • review the debt management process,
  • agree with accounting on new work requirements, introduction of new KPI.
  • AB Swedbank's technical capabilities for more efficient financial management of the company.
  • To employ free money.

The start with Audrius Rubinas is very correct and planned: we write an NDA and I provide Sertika's financial data, we schedule weekly meetings through the Google planning system. When I don't know what to expect, I get "fearful" that I might not be able to communicate with a financial analyst, a professional. Audrius encouraged me that I would really understand the topic of financial management and the assessment of Sertika's financial health.

First of all, I and the accounting department saw where we had not yet completed something, or where something was missing – the state had been reported, but it had not been fully filed away, or where a drawer was still unusable, or the report did not serve the purpose of decision-making properly. In general, I was pleased that we were able to respond to A. Rubin's request for reports quite quickly and competently.

Then, during the meetings, I learned what things are good in SERTIKA and what needs to be restructured, systematized, and improved. We discussed the information verbally, and I received a written summary and "preparations" that will help the manager read and determine the health of the company every month. There was also time for my questions.

I must admit that we still have some work to do in the area of ​​financial management to be able to make the right decisions faster, more confidently, and to notice and manage change.

I want to continue working with Audrius Rubinas' team on financial literacy. I am looking forward to tomorrow's work plan and the new quality of number management. Today I told Audrius: "We want the numbers to stop crying and start singing for both accounting, management, and the team."

Once again, I would like to thank the organizers Swedbank and A. Rubinas MB "Pelningi sprendimai" for providing opportunities to improve and develop the business and for taking UAB Sertika's financial management to the next level.

I strongly recommend my business partners to other businesses.
