Bruce's Services
Consultant Services
Since our founding, we have assisted over 150 companies [view a partial client list] overcome a variety of financial challenges by offering our services on either an interim or project basis whichever is most effective for our clients.
- Interim basis – Many companies find themselves overwhelmed by the day to day effort to stay current. We provide the “muscle” to make it happen within budget no matter how long it takes.
- Project basis – In an effort to remain competitive some companies find themselves tackling issues that tax their current level of financial expertise. We provide the “brains” to assist a company in facing these rarely encountered challenges without any need to disrupt the current organization.
While we look at each assignment as a new challenge, we have found that many problems can be resolved by building on the 20+ years of expertise possessed by each of our consultants, many of whom have solved similar issues. Based on our previous assignments and our consultant’s expertise we have organized ourselves to respond to the following types of issues:New Paragraph
