How Can We Help?

More than 80 percent of Millennials will not work for, buy from, or invest in companies that do not have a clear, actionable, and effective social mission. This population is not some rebellious group of kids. They are now in their 40s, manage companies, hold to a new set of standards, and expect business to do more than just make a profit. Why? Because they believe in the power of the marketplace to create what is missing from the world. It's a new definition of supply and demand, one centered on what humans need and deserve from work. Poliminal helps clients identify what matters most to employee populations and to various customers and community stakeholders. Our team has expertise in developing social missions and proven experience in implementing them effectively. From startups to established leaders, we can help you make money that matters in today's world. 

Specific systems, processes, and tools are required to properly manage a social enterprise. Poliminal works with clients to analyze which accounting and financial tools are available and appropriate for their businesses and social missions. The goal of this type of work is to increase financial document accuracy, decrease preparation and close time, and capture performance beyond profit alone. We identify all potential options, showcasing the strengths and weaknesses of each. Our recommendations are purely objective. Poliminal is not a reseller of any financial systems or technologies. We will set up your financial systems and accounts, and also provide an annotated tracking tool, with a recorded training session on the efficient use of both.

Client data, plus a market and competitor analysis of both business and social factors, allows us to see your full picture. This reveals strategic opportunities and potential pitfalls. With objective, market-based information, we can model established best practices and differentiating approaches, showing in advance how certain business and social priorities will impact each other. We identify multiple strategic pathways, modeling each of them to enable clear, informed decision making for our clients. We test and run various real-time social enterprise scenarios using actual financial and market data to ensure quality outputs and precise final adjustments. 

Increasingly, stakeholders require a broader form of reporting, one that documents financial and social returns alike. Simply turning a profit is no longer the single or adequate definition of success, nor is it enough to earn lasting support. Poliminal combines our social mission, financial fundamentals, and strategic modeling work to pay off with a comprehensive approach to impact reporting. We analyze and document the positive results our clients earn with and for diverse employee and customer populations; through inclusion and belonging initiatives; across internal and external environments; alongside trusted partners; and for socially minded investors. This type of holistic reporting captures the full range of value created for all, and serves to differentiate our clients from competitors, make them more relevant in the marketplace, and prepare them to share meaningful details in pre-IPO investment meetings or through their annual reports.
