Our approach
The most prized client remark we receive is how easy it is doing business together.
IMPACTFUL. INVESTED IN YOUR SUCCESS.
On-site and hands-on
We serve clients as a key management team participant possessing valued operational financial, systems and accounting skills. There is shirt-sleeve execution in support of top business priorities. Our on-site working philosophy allows for important collaboration with all client team-members. Daily, we utilize productivity tools including proprietary financial models, ERP and cost systems and cutting-edge artificial intelligence.
Value creation
Clients prize our leadership in helping craft and implement top-level, business value creation strategy. Central to that, is our broad management expertise in the small company setting. Moreover, we work to build client organizational strength systems, processes and controls that work including enhancing the skills of internal accounting staff.
Grounded knowledge
We know about the challenge of getting the job done with limited resources -- people and dollars. That owes to ICW’s four decades of service on the management team of more than fourty small companies.
Easy relationship. Simple Fee
Clients embrace having an easy working relationship. Our fee takes the form of a simple, agreed-upon bi-weekly retainer no hourly charges. The weekly time commitment and fee can be adjusted up or down as client needs or workload change. A client workplan is maintained identifying established responsibilities, priorities and progress.
“FMA has helped grow my fabrication business from 15 employees thru 70 employees and eventual sale. Their expertise was used every step of the way. The variable, part-time service has the flexibility we need as our business changed thru the years. As we just started another company, we will use FMA again when the time is right.”
