Its <br />consultants apply proven consulting methodologies to address client needs, and involve <br />clients in the problem solving process to ensure customized solutions for each <br />organization. We tailor our engagements to the client and identify unique solutions that <br />will allow the client to maximize its resources while recognizing the need to be good <br />stewards of taxpayer's taxes. Its principals are active participants in each of their <br />engagements, not,just overseers of the process. <br />Engagement planning is a critical component of our consulting methodology.
