Owner/CEO of Simms Associates Consulting - Cost Analysis, Budgeting, and Cost Allocation. From start-ups to Fortune 500.I am a cancer survivor, a father of 7, and a cost accountant who specializes in the alignment of resource usage with organizational mission. My consulting engagements usually have several steps:First, the organizational mission is defined (or in some cases redefined). Second, all expenditures are classified as investment, maintenance, or waste, keeping in mind that an investment can be profitable without advancing the mission.Third, all remaining products, programs, and processes are reviewed for funding adequacy, operating efficiency, and reporting transparency.Organizational policies are reviewed, adjusted, and implemented to support any changes in organizational structure and operations.The result is optimally the transformation from a muddled, dysfunctional problem into a sleek, more efficient operation precisely targeted at strategic success, achieving mission attainment for the stakeholders.
