After funding

Once the file is won, everything begins

The competitor delivers a forecast and disappears. We stay — because what puts a funded business into difficulty is almost always what happens after the money is released, and because a director who steers by the numbers does not discover them when the annual accounts arrive.

What is at stake once the money lands

Four things, and none of them announces itself if nobody is watching.

The undertakings given to the funder

A loan comes with instalments, sometimes with ratios to hold and documents to send in. An undertaking that has not been met does not remind you politely: it surfaces at the moment you need new support, and it closes the door.

The gap between plan and reality

A customer who pays at sixty days instead of thirty, a slower season, a delayed hire. Caught in time, these are adjustments. Caught six months later, they are cash problems — the same ones, far more expensive.

Steering replaced by gut feel

Plenty of directors know whether the month was good, but not by how much or why. The annual accounts arrive ten months after the event: that is a tax document, it is not a decision-making tool.

The banking relationship quietly wearing out

A relationship manager who changes, accounts that are never commented on, an overdraft used permanently. Trust is built between two requests, not during one — and it decides the answer to the next.

Who does what

This is the most important question on this page, and we answer it without ambiguity. Some services belong to a regulated profession: we do not carry them out, we orchestrate them.

You are not obliged to delegate them — no law requires you to appoint an accountant, and depending on your tax regime you may keep your books in-house. But as soon as they are entrusted to a third party, these tasks fall within the exclusive remit of an expert-comptable registered with the Ordre — the French regulated accountancy profession. They are then covered by an engagement letter signed with the professional who performs them. Novaris does not carry them out.

In practice, at what rhythm

Support that shows up once a year is worth nothing. This one has a rhythm.

Every monthThe cash review

The real position, the receipts and payments of the coming weeks, and the gap with what was planned. It is short, it is quantified, and it reads in ten minutes.

Every quarterThe trajectory review

Actuals set against the forecast across every line, the decisions to be taken, and an update of the forecast if the trajectory has changed.

Before every instalmentThe undertakings

What is owed, to whom, on what date, and what the funder expects from you in documents or ratios. Nothing should be discovered on the day itself.

Whenever you need itThe bank meeting

Preparation of the meeting, figures to present, questions to anticipate. A bank meeting you have prepared looks nothing like one you merely attend.

The exact scope is defined with you. It depends on the size of the business, on what you already do in-house and on what your accountant already covers. That is why no price appears here: we talk first, then we quote.

This offer is being rolled out gradually. Financial steering is provided by Novaris today. The regulated services are performed by partners, and the network is growing: we tell you exactly who will be working on your file before any commitment.

Let’s talk about what you need

A conversation to understand where you stand, what you already do in-house and what deserves to be tracked. No commitment, and no quote before we have understood.
