Successful business advisors are not born - they are made. At GHP Horwath, we bring years of experience to each and every tax, accounting, auditing, and valuation engagement with our clients.
How do you take your business to the next level and beyond? How do you enhance your financial performance and profitability, sustain your business with year-after-year growth, and meet the many other business challenges you will inevitably face? We can help. We have developed a suite of business advisory services all designed with your best interest in mind. As experienced business advisors, we focus on providing quality services in all of our practice areas, and have a multi-disciplinary team with deep expertise not just in assurance, tax advisory, forensic/litigation consulting and valuation and corporate finance, but also in a broad range of industry segments. In fact, we think the foundation of quality that makes us good accountants also makes us good business advisors. Simply put, we get business — your business.
Whether you need local, national, or global advisory services, we have the resources to help. Through our association with Crowe Horwath International we offer the proven global methodologies and tools, service capabilities and experience to help you wherever you are in the world. Issues we have helped our clients resolve are varied, but here is a partial list of typical services offered:
- Profitability Benchmarking — These studies are designed to enhance the overall profitability of your business. Profitability analysis encompasses many areas in your business, from revenue generated by your customers to your cash flow and inventory levels. At GHP Horwath, we look at all applicable areas of your business to determine your profitability in relation to your company's history and to others in your industry. We give you the power and information you need to make intelligent business decisions regarding your company's future.
- Financing Your Business — With so many ways to finance the growth of your business, the path isn't always clear. We understand that. At GHP Horwath, our business consultants help you look at your financing options, either equity or debt, and analyze your particular situation and industry, and come up with the right combination of financing to keep your business growing.
- Merger and Acquisition Consulting — Whether you are looking at a merger candidate or have been approached about an acquisition, we can help you get the most from the hard work you've put into building your company. There are many things to consider including a full business valuation to get an accurate picture of the worth of your business. We can also help you evaluate a merger/or acquisition company’s management style and personality and how any change will affect your employees and ultimately your bottom line.
- Performance Improvement — Services designed to improve your organization’s processes, procedures, and organizational efficiency.
- Business Transition & Succession Planning — Services for establishing, developing, and implementing plans for transition to new management or ownership.
- Strategic Planning — Services that help companies focus on long-term opportunities and challenges to sustain momentum and realize their full potential. Every business owner has a plan in their head about where they want their business to go. By using a more formal strategic planning process, you will be able to ensure more involvement from your management team and determine goals that are obtainable, easily tracked, and measured.
- Information Technology Consulting — A broad array of information technology solutions that efficiently and cost effectively help our clients maximize their IT investment. We provide services on either a contract-outsourced basis, completely replacing your IT needs, or as a complement to your existing IT department. Services provided include:
- Network and system health reporting
- Network set-up support as well as remote help desk support and as-needed onsite support
- Network and systems monitoring and alerting
- Project-based system and infrastructure improvements contracted by the client as a result of needs found during the analysis
- Management Reporting Systems — These provide expert counsel and recommendations for implementing management reporting tools that can help you expand business lines, enter new markets, or improve your operations.
Our business advisory services are always affordable and flexible. We strive to build strong partnerships with each of our clients and to take an individualized approach to each engagement allowing us to create the best solution for your company and your budget.
