We win only if you win
A simple focus
Our approach to every partnership is driven by the fundamental goal of achieving fast results without demanding a lot of your time. As much as we enjoy strategic activities such as innovation, market repositioning, and exit planning, we prioritize tactical ones by finding immediate benefits from easy-to-implement operational changes. To that end, our engagements are based on speed and execution. We work in timelines of days and weeks, not months or years. We work directly with owners and decision-makers, not committees or go-betweens. And we function as an in-house partner motivated by a vested interest in your success.
A simple process
Review
We review your P&L statements to identify red flags based on current trends, comparable benchmarks, and our experience
Analyze
We analyze the selected areas, digging into vendor contracts, utility bills, supplier invoices, OTA agreements, internal policies, etc.
Develop
We use what we learn to create an action plan covering what changes can be made, prioritizing the ones that have the best return on effort
Execute
We implement the actions on your behalf or jointly, doing part or all of the leg work necessary to make tangible changes
Sharing in the benefits
Many consulting firms get paid based on arbitrary hourly rates or on estimated fixed fees. Both options make you question if you receive fair value for your money. Our model is based on performance - we get paid a portion of what you benefit, eliminating any anxiety over letting us partner with you. And because we understand this is a new relationship, the first $10,000 in savings are all yours.
Addressing the questions that keep you up at night
Once we’ve put money in your pocket, we’re happy to share recommendations on what you can do with it to grow or protect your business. It might be best to bulk up your rainy day fund, build up cash reserves to replace your roof, or set aside capital for renovations. Or perhaps you have an opportunity to bring in revenue management partners, take steps to increase your valuation, or reinvest the funds back into the business by upgrading technology, tools, and systems. Though these recommendations often provide an even bigger boost to your profitability than reducing expenses, we believe in first generating additional cash flow before making suggestions on how to allocate it.
