Our consultants are all highly educated, very experienced, and have backgrounds in numerous industries. Many of our consultants teach at universities and professional industry associations. We bring best practices to our client organizations.

Whether it relates to identifying and enhancing profitability, streamlining costs or operations, managing a critical project, or managing ongoing planning and reporting duties, we get the job done effectively.

Depending on the nature of the mandate, we take various approaches to the project. We can work independently or with representatives from the client organization, and we can work on or off-site. We can work on a full-time basis for a few months until the project is complete or we can work on a very flexible part-time basis, as required by the project. We are the extra financial resources you can count on when you don't have enough in-house resources or when your current staff lacks the expertise to complete a critical project. In essence, we’re your finance department on call.

Some of our consulting mandates have included developing a computer system which reports business line profitability on a monthly basis, identifying costs and profitability related to servicing different customers and through different distribution channels, project managing the implementation of a new system to identify audit risk and develop appropriate plans to control audit risk, and forecasting expenses and developing budgets for new divisions or start-up companies.
