In today's competitive world, it is not enough for small business owners to analyze whether or not the work is on schedule or within the specified budget limits. You need to deal with more subjective issues, like "Am I profitable?", "Is it possible to provide the same level of services with lower costs?", and "What are my competitors doing and how?" An in-depth analysis of your business is indispensable for helping you survive - and thrive.

At Bartley-Hathaway, we use techniques that probe into the present and past financial performance of a business. We measure the performance against particular standard costs, operations and services. We also consider how goals can be achieved in a better way, using less money and less resources.

We have over 35 years of experience in dealing with the financial realities that you as a small business owner encounter such as the development and analysis of business plans, business loans and numerous start-up scenarios. Let us help you look objectively at your company and find the areas that can be improved upon; thereby making your company more profitable.
