Helping you boost your business confidence

According to the latest ANZ Business Outlook Survey, NZ business confidence climbed from 50 to 58 in October 2025 – the strongest result since February. A nice little reminder that there is light at the end of the economic tunnel.

At Cross Group, we see this as the perfect moment to help you build on that momentum. Confidence doesn’t just appear – it grows when you have clarity, control and a solid plan. Here’s how we help you strengthen all three.

1. Clear, useful reporting you’ll actually want to read

Staying on top of your numbers doesn’t have to feel like deciphering a cryptic crossword.

We create monthly management reports and customised dashboards so you can easily track the financial and non-financial indicators that matter most. Real-time clarity = better decisions + fewer surprises.

2. A stronger, more predictable cashflow runway

Cashflow shocks aren’t fun for anyone. A rolling cashflow forecast gives you visibility over what’s ahead, helping you plan for expenses, stay on top of supplier payments and prepare for major purchases without the stress.

3. Benchmarking against real NZ industry data

It’s hard to know if you’re doing well when you’re only comparing yourself… to yourself.

We can benchmark your margins and performance against industry averages so you can see where you shine and where a bit of fine-tuning could lift profitability. It’s like getting your business’ report card – without the parent-teacher meeting.

4. Strategic ‘what-if’ modelling to support your big decisions

Thinking about expanding the team? Adjusting pricing? Testing new ideas?

We run financial “what-if” scenarios using your real data, so you can see the potential impact before you commit. It gives you confidence in the direction you’re heading – and reduces the chance of expensive surprises later.

At Cross Group, we’re not just here at year-end. We’re here throughout the year to support your financial performance, guide your decision-making and help you build a business you’re proud of. When you’re confident, you move faster, plan better and grow stronger – and we’re right here backing you every step of the way.
