Business & Personal
Consulting – “Analysis and Follow Up”
- Business
Plans/Forecasts/Profitability Analysis
For start-up as
well as existing businesses utilizing one, three, or five
year plans with follow-up systems comparing actual results.
This lends itself to better profitability analysis and allows
businesses to function according to an established plan as
opposed to things happening by accident. Budgets and forecasts
can be used not only for internal business situations but
also for external financing, buy/sell situations which require
forecasts and payback calculations, as well as in start-up
businesses where accurate budgets and forecasts are crucial
in the first year of a new business.
An important area
for all businesses, overhead analysis and control can be
the difference between profit and loss, and can significantly
affect your gross profit percentage. A lower gross profit
percentage will increase your break-even points. Our office
will analyze not only your fixed overhead but also the variable
portion of overhead especially in manufacturing and construction
arenas. Overhead analysis greatly influences the results
of your product or service cost system as well as your ability
to price your service or products profitably.
Usually go hand-in-hand
with overhead analysis to lower overall costs and identify
problem areas. This can be done on a product by product basis
or an overall company basis. Identification of cost problem
areas and controlling future cost outlays is crucial in any
re-organization or restructuring plan as well. The entire
circle of events from problem identification to cost reduction
will produce better future results in any restructuring plan.
Is important in
any organization. Interest expense and other debt service
costs can eat away at your bottom line. Use of credit cards,
high interest credit lines and short-term financing are only
quick fixes and should be streamlined as soon as possible
to utilize long-term rates and payment plans to enhance cash
flow. Remember, while gross profit percentages and operating
profits may be excellent, you still may not have cash flow
due to debt service requirements. This can leave your business
without the ability to re-invest its profits back into the
company and forever hold your business hostage to the financing
industry. Turn those credit cards and lines of credit into
long-term debt as soon as possible!
Our expertise allows
us to assist companies in reviewing their internal reporting
and paper flow systems which sometimes falter either because
of age, technology, or employee turnover. This analysis gives
rise to redevelopment of new systems that could simplify
reporting in your company and allow management to receive
better information on a more timely basis. Whether you are
a small construction company, a medium size manufacturing
company or a small service/merchandising business, our expertise
can enhance the reporting systems and the response time to
business problems, subsequently increasing profits and reduce
costs. Early, timely information eliminates emergency management
and brings to light problem situations much sooner.

Gift and Trust Assistance and Consultation

the required tax work in this area but also the preliminary
assistance with planning for estate and gifting situations.
Utilizing many of the more popular planning tools we can
