At AHP, we offer a broad range of business consulting services to help you solve problems and promote growth. By gaining a clear understanding of your needs and objectives, we are able to propose the services that will positively impact your business.
We provide highly trained professionals for every client engagement, which means you can count on us to meet your needs and exceed your expectations.
Our business consulting services are generally considered management assistance services. While traditional audit, accounting, and tax services focus on an organization’s external needs, our consulting focuses more on your specific internal needs. You define what you want to achieve. We help you get there.
BENEFITS:
Our professionals assist with or fully prepare a set of uniform policies and procedures to be followed in the performance of an organization’s accounting function. The process begins by reading and/or documenting your current policies and procedures. The policies are then logically organized in either a written and/or electronic format.
BENEFITS:
We can assist you with the gathering, organizing, and/or interpreting information needed in support of obtaining financing. This service can also encompass the identification of financing sources.
Budgets and forecasts are financial pictures of assumed future financial activity. The terms “forecast” and “budget” are often used interchangeably and mean an expected or most likely result. However, a budget can also be presented in a flexible format that covers a range of potential scenarios. For scenarios that are not the most likely to occur (in other words, “what if” events), a budget is referred to as a projection. We can help you prepare or interpret variances between actual and projected results.
