We focus our expertise and experience on providing a selected group of core services to each of our client groups – law firms, accounting firms, corporations and non-profit organizations. We do not try to be “all things to all people”. In cases where other expertise is required, we attempt to recommend specialized consultants in those areas. Bob Denney is in personal charge of most of our engagements. He frequently includes one or more of our associates, who specialize in management, marketing, administration or finance, as members of the client service team. In certain cases, Bob may assign responsibility for a client project to an associate while he maintains overall responsibility for the project.

Does your company or organization lack a vision and strategic plan for the future?
Is it missing a marketing strategy and the infrastructure to implement it?
Are revenues and profits declining or below average?
Is management not properly organized or not meeting current needs?
Has there been no planning for management succession?
Are you confronted with problems and challenges you can’t resolve?

We specialize in addressing these issues, and many others, that companies and organizations face today – not only to improve their performance but to ensure they survive and grow in the future.

What we do for our clients

Simply put, we help clients solve problems or identify and capitalize on opportunities – and often both.
Typical issues we address include:

  • Achieving or increasing profitability
  • Management structure and performance
  • Management & ownership succession
  • Turnarounds
  • Strategic Planning – developing a vision and focus for the future
  • Growth strategies
  • Marketing and client/customer service

Experience has taught us there are no boilerplate solutions.  Each firm and organization faces unique challenges and opportunities.  Precedent does not always apply;  what has been successful in one case may not be successful in another.  We recognize this and bring our knowledge and creativity to bear to find the best answers for each client.
