8020 Consulting

As a company, we believe broadening the application of the tools of financial analysis and reporting to every aspect of business operations—extending the reach of finance from compliance fulfillment reporting and incrementalist budgeting activity to critical analysis of business issues—is one of the great unleveraged business opportunities of our time. We also know that there are massive productivity gaps between the top individual performers and the average, and we have engineered our company to attract and retain the best. This isn’t rhetoric, it’s fact. Our Team applies focus, objectivity and superior academic and professional credentials backed by a business model that encourages and rewards individual initiative and creativity with a mandate to leave Clients provably better at the end of each engagement.
