Financial Advisory

With over forty years of experience working with firms just like yours, there aren’t many business challenges we haven’t seen before. Whether you’re looking for a comprehensive evaluation and strategic planning effort, or someone to provide on-going advice and industry perspective to your board, we can help.

Business planning is an exercise that far too few firms in the architecture, engineering and environmental consulting industry take seriously. When it comes to business planning, we have a no-nonsense, results-driven approach. We strongly recommend that our clients sit down annually to assess their performance, research the markets they serve or seek to serve, establish goals for the coming year and beyond, and develop an action plan for achieving those goals.

Depending on your needs, our business planning services may include:
  • Financial performance analysis and benchmarking
  • Management and employee interviews
  • A review of business management policies and procedures
  • Client perception studies
  • Business planning meeting facilitation
  • Beyond the planning process itself, our principals add value through their years of experience and the perspective they have gained by working with other firms just like yours. As a result, there aren’t many business challenges we haven’t seen before.
Whether you’re looking for a comprehensive evaluation and strategic planning effort, or someone to provide on-going advice and industry perspective to your board of directors, we can help.
