About COMMITLY
We live numbers.
We have decades of experience running large and small companies. Whether listed on the stock exchange or privately owned. Our main focus has always been managing the finances, the numbers. Always out of necessity – often out of hardship.
Some people think we are spoilsports.
Money is not everything, it is the only thing. That sounds cruel, capitalist, contemptuous of people. But it is not. It is merely shorthand. Something every entrepreneur knows all too well. Once liquidity runs out, nice ideas are over. Then it is all about focus. Focus on the next sale, the next round of financing or, unfortunately, on the cost savings that have become necessary.
We see companies as organisms that breathe money in and out.
Our experience has taught us one thing: concentrate on what matters. While we were implementing every conceivable target, goal and report in our large companies, we recognised the original and simple meaning of cash flow. At the end of the day, every one of our companies was and still is run on that insight.
Many people think we are nerds.
Where many see a strong focus on numbers as a constraint, we see it as a liberation. Anyone who has their numbers under control sleeps well and recharges their batteries. Only with a clear view of the financial options can the brilliant, crazy, creative, courageous and social visions be put into practice.
We live digitalisation.
Digitalisation opens gates and tears down dams. While just 10 years ago innovations were developed by a few for a few, recent years have seen an incredible democratisation. Mind & machine – we use the cloud, artificial intelligence and our experience to enable small and medium-sized companies to put their plans into practice.
