We focus on finding and fixing financial leakage across over 80 checkpoints from leadership, operational and client aspects.

Consultancies can leak money if they are not managed well.  Leakage occurs when a consultancy does not use the resources it has efficiently or effectively. As the primary resource in a consultancy is its employees, then leakage is mostly a problem of poor use of people.

There are many things that you can do in order to manage costs. This can be done in three ways

• by being more effective, and having a bigger impact
• by being more efficient, and being able to do more
• or by stopping doing something altogether

Most instances of leakage will have a direct impact on the bottom line. This is a particular problem for time and materials engagements which still make up a large proportion. amounts of consultancy engagements.

As a result of reducing leakage, you will create more income, produce more profit, and balance the flow of money in and out of your business.

Not all forms of leakage need or should be fully addressed but having an overall strategy is important for making the best out what you have got.
