Description:
How did we come up with our business name, what does it mean? A lot of people think the figure on our homepage is Rodin’s Thinker, but he’s not. He is Cain, created by Henri Vidal in 1896 to depict Adam and Eve’s son Cain after he had killed his brother, Abel. No, we are not called FacePalm because we’re into fratricide, but Cain is doing a perfect example of a facepalm. It’s when your hand goes to your face in a gesture of despair, dismay, exasperation or embarrassment and we know you’ve done it when you’ve been doing, thinking or talking about your accounts. Why was FacePalm started? The short answer is because we know the frustration that small to medium business owners face every day when they want information about the financial position of their company. It’s one thing to have an accountant to take care of your tax affairs at the end of the year and tell you how much profit you made – last year. It’s quite another to have someone telling you how much profit you made last month, or are going to make next month, how to work out which parts of your business are worth putting effort into, and which parts are costing you too much in time and money to bother with. If you have a bookkeeper the chances are they don’t know what you’re even talking about when you ask for management accounts, and if you have an accountant who is pro-active enough to provide such things, they often don’t go into the kind of detail you’re looking for – or rather need - in order to get your business running at its most profitable AND efficient. Usually you’d need to employ a damn good bookkeeper – and they are like hens teeth, or a Management Accountant and/or a Financial Director and that’s often blummin’ expensive and not always necessary if you only need one and/or all of them on a part-time basis. Big. Gap. In. The. Market. What is our aim? To educate business owners and directors to really understand their numbers.
