Why Are We So Effective?

Barry is a professional accountant, a fellow of the Chartered Association of Certified Accountants - The world's largest international professional accounting organization. I’ve worked as a small business consultant and as an internal consultant in larger enterprises.

I’m not a "beancounter".  I don’t believe that cutting costs is the only way to improve profits.

I created a software development company 20 years ago in the middle of an economic depression and ran it for eight years....designing, producing and marketing accounting systems and packaged software.

I’ve been a business consultant for small, medium and large business, providing superb customer service and increasing profits.

Developed strategic plans, business plans and forecasts. Successfully presented them to boards, banks and financial institutions to justify funding.

I’ve written project plans, obtained the funding and provided project management expertise - from software to construction projects.

I have a Certificate in IT Controllership, so I speak the languages of Computer Technology, as well as the language of Business.

How Much?

"Price is what you pay.  Value is what you get."
Warren Buffet

We don’t usually bill by the hour. Wherever possible, we give you a fixed price for the work we do for you.

Why?  Because:

• Hourly billing turns both of us into clock watchers
• You don’t have to worry if certain time is billable
  (e.g. travel, meals, etc)
• You don’t pay extra for phone calls !
• You know exactly how much you’re investing
• You know what we will deliver
• You know before we start
  • What you’ll get (Deliverables)
  • What it will cost (Investment)
  • What it’s worth to you (Value)
