Technology

Don't get overwhelmed with tech terminology that scares and prevents successful decision making.

MSP, ERP, CRM, VPN, SaaS, 2FA, API, AI, BI
Each one of these can help your business, but can be overwhelming if you don't know what they mean and how they impact your business and operations.

We bring clarity to each of these, how they interact with your business, and how best to leverage them.

Running a business is overwhelming, and managing the details of daily operations can be too much.

With our CxO services, we help you with vendors, inventory, logistics, products, productivity and more...

By streamlining these items, you see operational efficiencies that otherwise go unnoticed.

Operations

Financial statements should not be feared. These are a tool showing the health and stability of your business.

FDES will help make these easier to understand and bring clarity to understanding them.

  • Is your business using the correct computer systems for your operations?
    Are you using it to its fullest capacity?

  • Do you know the 'true' cost of your staff?
    Wages are easy to calculate, but have you included benefits, IRA, FICA, PFML, ancillary costs, etc., to know what employees really cost?

  • Is your bookkeeping up to par? Is your staff recording expenses correctly?
    Incorrectly allocated expenses can impact your income statement which can impair decision making.

  • Are your vendor bills accurate and are you paying too much for freight?
    We can work with vendors for discounts on buying, work with freight companies to make sure the lowest possible terms are charged, all adding to your bottom line.
