MANAGEMENT: Management Control

One of the growing needs within startup companies is the periodic monitoring of their business results from operational, commercial, and production perspectives. According to our experience, startups also need support after capital increases to properly manage their financial cycle (which, to avoid serious problems of business continuity must be managed monthly). The inaccurate financial management of startups is one of the primary causes leading to the closure of the life cycle of these types of companies. Management control can also be defined as a system of technical-accounting tools that support management decisions, aiming for efficiency and effectiveness in achieving the company’s goals.

The implementation of such a tool is necessary to define action plans for young entrepreneurs to reach medium- and long-term strategic goals.
