Business Development, Valuation & Management Advisory Services

Business Development
With the issues of evolving market conditions, increased competition and rising costs, a business needs a strategic plan that allows for controlled growth and continued prosperity. 

Damon, Topham & Company can help you with Business Development.  We take traditional services to the next level by moving beyond the mere “score keeping” of accounting to coaching and working directly you in the development of better systems and controls that leads to long-term and increased profitability.

We evaluate your business through a comprehensive analysis to identify areas where quantifiable results may be achieved.  We take a hard look at:

• Labor, employment burden and benefit cost
• Facility efficiency as well as maintenance, insurance and carrying costs
• Vehicle maintenance, insurance and carrying costs
• Sales volume
• Customer base
• Sales frequency with existing customers
• Labor cost rate and industry salary evaluation
• Equipment and use including lease/buy analysis
• Systems for potential streamlining
• Budgeting for sales, cash flows, capital expenditures, operational and divisional expenses
• Debt structure and service costs
• Cash flow

Our analysis and recommendations are then provided in an easy-to-follow written report which illustrates the best methods for incorporation of our proposed transitions.

We have a set fee for business development services that eliminates ever-mounting billable hours, so we can help businesses of all sizes to affordably maximize profits and avoid unforeseen pitfalls.
