Costa Rica Contable

ARITA | SME ORGANIZER MODEL

Small and medium size enterprises (SME’s) in Costa Rica tend to have fundamentally the same problems, and therefore can generally benefit from similar solutions. Costa Rica Contable (translated as Costa Rica Accounting) has developed a model, called Arita, that solves most of the entrepreneur’s day to day obstacles.  Arita focuses on generating wealth for SME’s and the entrepreneur’s company by helping to increase revenues and lower expenses.

The following sections describe the Arita model and service we offer. We urge you to read more about it online or save the PDF documents in your computer for future reference.

• Decision making areas

Description of Arita               Home

• Costa Rica Contable (Costa Rica Accounting) has determined that most of the decisions made by the SME’s (small and medium size enterprises) manager can be divided in 6 major areas.
  
  

• Arita is a model, designed with very simple diagrams, that organizes these decision making areas.
  
  
• A model is a simplification of real life, like a map, it does not show the trees of the road, but facilitates the route we should take in order to reach our goal.
  
  
• Administrative theory taught by Universities (related to Marketing, Industrial Engineering, Human Resources, Systems of information, Laws, Accounting and Finance) is rather convoluted and somewhat difficult to implement on a day to day basis by a SME entrepreneur.
  
  
• Arita combines the following subjects in an ingenious solution, with the primary purpose being to increase our clients sales as much as possible, while keeping costs to a minimum:
  • The University’s Management theory,
  • The Administrative techniques of current successful small and medium size business entrepreneurs (SME’s) in Costa Rica,
  • 20 years of experience living the day to day economic reality in Costa Rica,
  • The actual needs of the small and medium size companies (SME’s) in Costa Rica,
  • Modeling principles of software programming.

 

• We have used the modeling principles of software programming because it works perfectly to interrelate a great deal of variables, it’s easy to modify and update in the long term, and it provides an effective format to teach and discuss the concepts and procedures of Arita with the client’s staff, facilitating in this way its implementation and providing a structured continuous improvement process.

 

Decision making areas                 Home

The decisions every entrepreneur (SME) has to make can be grouped into 6 major areas according to their nature (type of decision).

• Marketing:
  • Decisions related to communicating my product/service and my company to my current and potential clients, with the goal of growing my client base and possibly increasing the average revenue generated per client.
    more…
    
    
• Process of Transformation (Operations):
  • Decisions related to the way I do what I do, the step by step processes which make up my operation, the resources I have to use, the interrelation of these resources in time and the continuous improvement process.
    more…
    
    
• Human Resources:
  • Human resources are the most important resource of most SME’s.  Our staff requires special attention so we can motivate them to do extraordinary things every day.
    more…
    
    
• Systems of information:

  Nowadays it is imperative to keep the content of my information (raw and processed data) organized and easy to retrieve. The entrepreneur must understand what he can and cannot do with his computer equipment and software, as well as its cost at all times. It is of the best interest of the SME manager to enable security mechanisms on their information, seeking the best possible combination of these two somewhat conflicting needs:

  • Protection of the data integrity and security in the long term,
  • increase the efficiency of the labor involved and the relationships between the users.

  more…

   

• Legal:
  • Doing business in Costa Rica seems to demand endless bureaucratic procedures, forms and payments, in order to operate legally. This section contains details of legal requirements and step by step procedures in an easy to understand format, turning these obstacles into a strength instead of a weakness, by putting you ahead of your competition.

   

  • Arita eliminates the anxiety generated by the demands of the Social Security (CCSS and INS), the Tax Authority (Tributacion Directa) and the local government (Municipalidad), enabling the entrepreneur (SME) to focus on their business.
    more…
    
    

• Accounting:
  
• The image elicited by the Word “accounting” has been in decline literally  to the point where it is often thought of as a “necessary evil”, but at Costa Rica Contable (Costa Rica Accounting) we are convinced the accounting, as an integral system of the whole company´s economic information, must include the measurement of the entire company’s performance.
   
• It is imperative the accounting output produces a set of reports and graphs that help us understand the business, eliminate the anxiety of not knowing exactly what is going on and profit from our efforts.
  more...
  
  

Implementation of Arita        Home

• When a client hires the services of Costa Rica Contable to implement Arita, we start with a predefined template and configure it, producing in very little time a set of diagrams that emulates the operation of the client (SME).

 

• As soon as each decision-making area is finished, an experienced consultant discusses the details with the management of the client, in a series of meetings, so that all the interested people agree, facilitating in this way the implementation of the required adjustments.

 

• During the following months, the staff of Costa Rica Contable oversee the implementation agreed in the initial meetings, and follow it up ensuring the successful execution of the plan.
  
  

  Time needed to implement Arita and see results                            Home
  

• Each and every client is different.  The period of time required to implement Arita depends on the actual characteristics of the client, some of these defining characteristics are:
• The number of transactions per month,
• The complexity of the operation,
• The quantity of positions and employees,
• The culture of the organization in relation to change;

 

• Costa Rica Contable strives to design and implement the procedures (and knowledge base) in less than three months.  From this point forward the executive in charge watches over the operation, ensuring the successful implementation of the concepts, points of control, reports and tasks.
  
  

Cost of Arita                          Home

• We know our clients very well, the small and medium companies (SME) in Costa Rica, and we know that they are always very sensitive to extraordinary expenses.

 

• Costa Rica Contable (Costa Rica Accounting) charges per hour worked, but since most of the procedures are predefined, the reengineering of the organization is very fast and straight-forward.
