Operating and Profitability Improvements
Every true operating improvement should enhance profitability. Many don't. The reasons are simple:

1. The cost of the current method of operation isn’t truly understood.
2. The plan for change doesn't include an identification of the factors that cause the excess cost.
3. The changed operation isn't benchmarked from a cost viewpoint.
4. All of the above.

Our experience in operations has taught us how to identify opportunities for change, how to measure the benefit of the change, how to implement changes that will stick, and how to ensure that the intended benefits are achieved.

Cost Mapping and Structuring
It’s important in any business enterprise to understand the underlying cost structure. This enables correct decision making in general pricing decisions as well as in special pricing decisions. Special pricing decisions are, among others, those that are required when confronting orders of a relatively large size or when committing to deliver goods or services from a new activity. These types of decisions can have a large impact on the profitability of the entity and even it’s survival in extreme cases. Additionally, this type of activity is part and parcel of understanding what impact a given activity has on the profitability of an enterprise. Services include classic cost accounting, activity based costing, break-even costing, and avoidable cost analysis.

Bank and Customer Negotiations
Bankers are essentially risk managers. The institutions for which they work have a variety of parties to whom they are answerable. These include the FDIC, the Comptroller of the Currency, and their depositors and shareholders, to name a few. With experience in commercial banking, we understand the environment in which bankers work and are often called upon to facilitate effective communication between banks and their customers. This involves a thorough understanding of the customer’s financial and business situation and the dynamics of the banking relationship. We work to assist both parties in reaching an agreement that is either a win for both, or at least one in which an orderly exit from the relationship is agreed to.
