Financial Consulting
Financial Consulting
We have assisted hundreds of companies to overcome a variety of financial challenges. Our services are offered on an interim or project basis.
- 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 types of issues listed below.
