Take a look at some of the ways we've helped our clients:

• We used our industry survey to benchmark a client's overhead rate, noting that it had increased 20% from the previous year — and is nearly 80% higher than industry peers for the current year. Our detailed analysis of the client's overhead expenses revealed several key areas where changes were needed, including rent and indirect labor.
• We created the infrastructure for a client to handle the scrutiny of governmental audits and as a result, the firm increased its business base by 20%.
• As part of an ownership transition, we showed a client how to obtain permanent tax savings on deferred income. As a result, the client yielded more than $1.5 million in savings. We restructured retirement plans for several clients from the standard 401(k) plan to an age-based retirement plan, thereby tripling the amount of retirement contributions that could be made for key employees and owners.
