Business Assessment

With our experience in turning around financially distressed businesses, we are able to quickly identify the warning signs in underperforming companies before they reach financial crisis. Within a short period of time, we can identify areas where you can increase productivity and profits, improve cash flow and more effectively manage assets and costs.

 

Our performance improvement consulting is customized to the needs of your company and designed to help you reach your business goals. Services include the assessment and recommendations.

 

 

Business Plan Validation

Too often, company stakeholders are unsure about, or are not completely confident in, the validity of business plans and cash flow projections prepared by management. In this situation, a second, independent, opinion is in order.

 

Our comprehensive business plan assessments include an on-site visit to your company, a thorough management audit and a review of financial data, policies and procedures. Depending on the issues and findings, the assessment may result in recommendations for cost-cutting, process improvement, personnel realignment, changes in reporting to stakeholders and/or clarification of long-term strategic plans.
