Experience /Skills Match

Providing the Expertise where it is needed, each professional brings to the project a depth of experience obtained through working on a variety of business issues within multiple industries, environments and cultures. The consultant’s skill will be relevant to, and appropriately matched to the project needs. We will never assign a consultant to a project simply to get them “off the bench”, or make them billable, if their skills do not match the requirements.

Eliminate Conflict of Interest & Increase Cooperation with External Audit

Our professionals do not provide attestation services. Therefore, they are not competing with your outside auditor for your attestation business. This further supports cooperation and cohesiveness amongst, management, outside auditors, and co-sourcing professionals.
