PROJECT SERVICES

Dennis Piper & Associates, P.C. offers the following services designed to provide you additional financial expertise on a project basis.

Vendor Management: We understand that good vendor relations are vital to an organization and communication is the key.

Financial Reports: We work with the users and providers of financial information to develop custom financial reports that will be useful in managing your organization. Financial information typically consists of a balance sheet and an income statement. While this is useful information, you may require additional operating information for decision-making.

Budget (Annual Operating Plan) Preparation: We will lead you through the budget preparation process and assist you in using your budget as a business decision-making tool. A budget should provide the roadmap for the current year. Monthly operating reviews will keep your management team accountable to their budgets.

Cash Management: We work with the decision makers in your organization to structure a cash flow report to assist with operational, investing and financing decisions. Our goal is to monitor your cash flow on a periodic basis to ensure you achieve your business objectives.

Long-Range Planning: We work with the owners to focus on the future of their business and identify operational and financial changes that need to take place to accomplish their long-term goals. If you are a start-up company, in a growth mode, or plan a change in your business operations, we can help you develop your strategic plan.

Financial Personnel Development: We work with business owners to help develop higher skill levels within their existing financial team. Development from within the Company is less costly than recruiting the higher skill level.
