Our team of funeral professionals and industry specific specialists have been selected to provide outstanding levels of service and knowledge, along with the highest level of customer satisfaction. We understand the level of service you provide to your families, and work hard to ensure that same amount of dedication to the clients we work with.
Below is a list of the services that we provide, along with a brief description.
Business Development:
Management – Taybridge will work with you to understand the unique aspects of your funeral home, and the market you service. We will prepare and present action steps to develop your business, and work along side you to ensure the success of your individual action plan.
Business Plans – Do you need to establish your strategy for the next few years? Taybridge will spend time reviewing your wishes, then create a business plan that will help you to achieve your goals. In today's ever changing world, it is vital that you know where you want to take your business, and what you need to do to get to the next level.
Training and Coaching – we have certified industry trainers on our team that will provide complete training programs for you or members of your team. We specialize in Coaching and Management Development, operations, administration, and sales. These programs are not cookie cutter, store bought training, but individualized programs specifically designed for Funeral Professionals, and tailored to the needs of your funeral home.
Marketing and Advertising – We all know that we need to market our business, but often we are not sure of how to spend the resources most effectively. Taybridge Memorial will provide a variety of opportunities and unique marketing strategies, many you may not know to exist, and will tailor a plan to help you maximize the return on your marketing and advertising budget.
Financial:
Budgeting – the dreaded task of budgeting can be tamed by talking with one of our financial specialists. We have the years of experience to develop a budget plan that will provide you with the tools to manage your spending on an annual basis. Budgets will also help you to get a monthly benchmark of how your business is performing, and let you see areas of your operation that are over performing, along with those that could use some assistance. This all sounds great, but complicated at the same time, and we are there with you through it all. We will set up your budget, and work with you to monitor on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis.
Financials for non-financial people – One of our most common requests. This is a service for people that would rather deal with people rather than their paperwork. Taybridge has the ability to remotely access your bookkeeping systems ( ONLY THOSE AREAS THAT WE ARE GRANTED ACCESS TOO) and maintain your records on your behalf. Then when you are ready, we will take the time to explain what everything means and use Key Point Indicators to show you how your business is performing. Our team will also happily work with you as a sounding board for your ideas, and will help take a “what if” idea, and work with you though the process to see if “it” is a good idea.
Accounting systems – Are you still working out of that box of accounts in the corner. Taybridge has working relationships with many of today’s top accounting software providers. Our team will take the time to understand what you need out of an accounting system, and provide you with the solution that works best for you, and your team. We will stay with you while the system is new, and make sure that everyone has the training and practical applications of the new software before we say our goodbye to the files in the corner.
Planning – There are so many thing that you need to be thinking about when it comes to the future of your business, and we have the expertise to help. Thinking of acquiring or divesting, we have a qualified real estate professional, who is also Funeral Director that can help. Want to have a succession plan to ensure your families security, we have the people that can put a financial security plan in place. No one wants to think about another recession, but there are things that you can do to ensure your business is prepared should we have another recession. We can help you to prepare for those unexpected events, and ensure that you and your business weathers those storms with ease.
Capital - If you would like to raise some capital, for an addition, purchase of a new vehicle, or just some breathing room, we can help. Taybridge Memorial will work with you to create a business case for the capital, then can present your business case to our network of financial institutions and lenders.
Website- Taybridge Memorial has the pleasure of being a Certified Support Professional for Frontrunner Professional. In this capacity, we are able to promote and provide our clients with one of the best funeral specific website packages on the market today.
