MANAGEMENT CONSULTING SERVICES

We advise clients on improvements in financial and administrative management, planning and control through disciplined budgeting and more efficient use of organization, staff and management resources.

• Business Process Improvement engagements analyze workflow processes, sharpen the basis for the processes, and establish measurable goals to ensure innovative solutions are properly implemented. We define supportive administrative and program information systems, which can help achieve organizational efficiency, staff productivity and financial performance targets.
  
  
• Financial Management Advisory Services provide financial analyses or operational reviews, design organizational infrastructures required to support new or consolidated businesses, develop business plans and market analyses, prepare and submit responsive proposals to prospective clients, structure and present applications to financial institutions for debt or equity infusion.
  
  
• Strategic Planning analyzes factors impacting the prospective business or operational environment, establish or redefine corporate mission and value statements. We set appropriate goals within the planning horizon, ensure allocation of necessary resources, identify key success factors, and evaluate the ability of information systems to support achievement of client goals.

We utilize state-of-the-art technology to enhance financial and administrative systems. We develop tailored programs to enhance business operations, improve the bottom line and prepare for future changes.


INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SERVICES

We utilize extensive business and information technology management experience with private and public clients and state-of-the-art techniques to implement more efficient and effective operations.

• Information Technology Planning and Evaluation engagements involve review of strategic systems planning processes and conduct of feasibility studies to identify cost-effective alternatives. We evaluate hardware and software options, assess current systems architecture, define user requirements, perform operations reviews and project system development budgets.
  
  
• Information Systems Development Support engagements assist large-scale system projects by applying CASE tools to various elements of the system life cycle. We review system module designs, develop and implement test plans, provide on-line or manual documentation, support system rollout, and conduct post implementation problem identification and resolution.
  
  
• Internal Control, Financial Management and Computer Security System Reviews are engagements that analyze the capability of system control procedures to safeguard financial, personnel, time and material, and information assets. Consistent with up-to-date security and integrity standards, this results in identification, documentation and mitigation of vulnerabilities in client management systems.

• Interim Chief Financial Officer Services provide operational oversight and administrative support to internal financial, accounting system and treasury management functions. We can assist by filling a technical resource gap and strengthening the management team with an interim or temporary CFO, or by solving specific business problems.
  
  
• Due Diligence Services provide review and analysis of financial records and any other documentation deemed material to a sale or purchase of assets. Such analyses can strain otherwise sufficient internal analytical resources. We provide supplemental staff on a targeted and temporary basis as needed to meet tight external timeframes.
  
  
• Accounting/Bookkeeping Services provide assistance necessary to meet periodic recurring or unanticipated accounting staff needs. Such engagements often address externally-imposed audit (or audit response) requirements or internally-determined special projects necessitating quick responses of well-trained personnel for targeted analytical assignments.
