Our Analysis and Recommendations:Food for Thought and Fodder for Informed Decisions
At John Opsahl LLC, we’ll never just email you a bunch of financial statements. Instead, we’ll apply our knowledge, experience, and skill to offer insights and make recommendations.
In our analysis and discussions, we’ll share the pros and cons of potential opportunities with you.
These statements can help you gain understanding, make decisions, and answer business-related questions, such as:
- Is my business profitable?
- What process improvements can I make to minimize risks? Increase productivity? Increase revenue? Increase profitability?
- Can I afford to hire employees or contractors (or more employees) to help me?
- Am I charging the right amount for my estimates and proposals?
- What qualifying questions should I be asking to vet potential clients or customers? Which potential clients should I turn away? Which ones should I welcome with open arms?
Ultimately, the decisions are yours to make. However, we’ll provide the information that you need to make those decisions. We’ll discuss your options and their ramifications.
