We offer a variety of ON-SITE contract services to select client organizations specializing in "COMBATING FRAUD IN SMALL BUSINESS", but not limited to, the retail auto industry.    

Business owners and managers should consider OBJECTIVITY in their environment - sort of a forest and the trees kind of thing.  This is where we come in!  Our experience, alert eyes, and objectivity will enable us to define metrics that are identifiable and measurable. We can then together devise systems to monitor and improve your goals of profitablility, efficiency, and self sustainability..

As Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) and Member of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners-www.acfe.com, FRAUD-PREVENTION AND DETECTION is an area of expertise. Prevention is more effective than detection. But being alert to improprieties by trusted staff is often one of the objectivity issues mention above. We will assist you in developing an effective FRAUD/LOSS PREVENTION PROGRAM, starting with an independent Fraud Assessment of your operations. We can conduct confidential recruiting and screening of candidates with PROVEN HIRING/HR PROCEDURES allowing you and your management team to running your business. This service can  provide a SUCCESSION PLAN to ensure a smooth transition of the business to future generations.

We can identify areas of operations that will result in higher sales and larger profits by developing MARKETING STRATEGIES and initiating steps to increase BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT opportunities. We can provide SALES AND MANAGEMENT TRAINING for all departments (let's not forget parts, service and the collision center) with formal group sessions or on an individual one-on-one basis as to minimize disruption to  operations of the department nor increase payroll expense.  In addition to generating more sales, EXPENSE REDUCTION and INVENTORY CONTROL (new, used, parts, and supplies) is a service that contributes to the long term efficiency and net profits of your organization.

Our services are provided on an as needed basis and can be based on a daily, weekly, or monthly rate, or, if more appropriate, based on attainment of mutually agreed upon goals or objectives.  We would be glad to work with you on any of the above or topics of your choice for the continued success of your company. The home office is a short distance from Dulles International Airport near Washington DC, convenient for travel by air or car to your location.

The business environments, and specifically automotive, are challenging and rarely rewards complacency. Let’s put Tim's education and 25 years experience in business, education, and community organizations to work for you. Tim is an independent consultant with no allegiance to a specific product or brand of service.  We make a commitment to you and your organization's success.
