Business Planning

We help you create companies by taking your ideas into business modeling, feasibility scenarios, and troubleshooting factors that translate into the company business plan for success and support of funding opportunities.

Entity Selection

We evaluate and advise you on the entity selection that provides maximized results to your business. We also help you with the entity incorporation and set-up, business licenses, permits and registrations and any other administrative procedure required to have your business performing successfully.

Accounting Set-up

We set up accounting systems that best accommodate to your needs. We believe in integrated systems that can carry automated secure processes, electronic monitoring and approvals, qualified and easy-reading information available in real time. Nowadays, business decisions cannot depend on an accountant's printed report or an assistant sorting a pile of documents looking for a contract that needed to be signed and faxed a week ago. You can save tons of money by not reprocessing, tallying documents or discussing discrepancies. We support implementations and operation of accounting software including NetSuite, QuickBooks Online & Desktop, Intacct and Sage-Peachtree.

Budgeting, Forecasting and Financial Projections

We structure budgets and forecasts based on company goals and business environment. We evaluate the business process and identify improvement opportunities and cost savings. We also create budget execution and monitoring reports so that you can keep your collaborators and business goals on track. A close evaluation of the budget and forecast performance will give you the opportunity to proactively change plans, allocate additional resources or cut expending to better serve your customers or to protect the company assets.

Process Improvement

We evaluate administrative and operational processes to identify cost saving and/or efficiency opportunities. We focus on automation, waste minimization, no-reprocessing, high technology, negotiation skills, quality assurance and customers and stakeholders satisfaction. Whether is a vendor certification program, a billing process, an inventory system or an online secure filing system, the output will be not only increased profits but also a better company to work for. There is always a smarter way to work.

Mergers, Acquisitions and Sales

We help you reach your corporate strategy goals. If you are considering a potential merger or buying or selling a company, we will assist your legal department or attorneys on the tax issues and advantageous tax structures for the deal. We also conduct a careful due diligence and analysis to help you identify the critical success factors for a positive negotiation, including price, the business sense of the deal and its cash flow impact.
