| What We Do
Our Sick Business Recovery Team is committed to assisting our client organizations identify both the root causes of the current challenges, and the pathway to long-term profitability. We bring a team of seasoned professionals to your door. Each of our consultants has more than 15 years of hand-on experience in your specific industry and meeting your unique challenges.
Our Approach
We jointly endeavor to arrive at workable and integrated solutions to the issues you face today, while never losing sight of the dynamic issues of tomorrow. We work to transfer our know-how and experiences to your staff. Unlike other firms that propose a long-term, capital-draining relationship, we strive to arrive at innovative solutions on a control-based, profit-oriented basis.
We don’t use your organization to train our professional staff. Every member of our professional staff has more than ten years of direct experience in their respective field of specialization. They are known for their accomplishments as industry leaders, educators, and consultants. Together, we provide our clients with consultative services that focus on developing solutions that enhance long-term shareholder value.
Our Sick Business Recovery Services employs ARC's patented Nine-Step Framework that ensures that our "profit-enhancement" focus is an integral aspect of every engagement. This Framework, developed by ARC, focus on the development of control-based, cost effective solutions that identify and eliminate the root causes of our client’s challenges, not just a “Quick Fix.” Past successes, range of clients, and longevity in the market stands to prove that our approach continues to result in long-lasting, systemic, solutions to our client's immediate challenge, as well as an effective prevention against future similar challenges.
How We Do It
In conducting every engagement, we:
- Develop a long-range plan that focuses on the opportunities and threats affecting your business processes,
- Work with operational and financial personnel to define the critical control points of each process
- Define the operational controls currently inherent in the processes that prevent or detect threats
- Develop systemic solutions which eliminate the causes of specific threats, and which, in turn enhance the total value chain of your organization.
What You Gain
An audit should provide three specific deliverables:
1) Value-Driven Recommendations that enhance your firm's ability to achieve specific and long-range objectives
2) A clear road map of how to manage the change process during the implementation of those recommendations
3) The ability to recognize the need for change in the future, coupled with the ability to do it right the first time.
Alternative Fee Structure Arrangements
At ARC we ensure your success. We prefer performance-based and fixed-price arrangements. We are the experts, let us take the risk. The table below lists the typical types of consulting arrangements ARC offers our clients. All of ARC's active clients receive free unlimited phone support.
ARC Consulting Alternative Fee Arrangements
| Performance-Based |
ARC will work with you to identify the specific objectives of the job. We'll develop a business case to determine the profit-enhancement benefit of our services. You pay us based on our performance toward the business case. |
| Fixed-Price |
ARC prefers a fixed-price arrangement. If you can clearly define the objectives of the job, we'll offer a fixed-price agreement. If you'd like help defining the products or services, we can fix-price that service also. You pay us only upon your acceptance of the products. |
| Time & Expense |
When you're not quite sure what you need, or you just need some additional expertise, ARC offers competitive hourly rates — and we don't gouge you by billing for travel time. |
Our Nine-Step Methodology ensures that your project will be completed on time, on budget, and yield the desired results.
Our Staff
The professional staff of ARC brings more than 100 years of combined financial, operations, technology, project management, continuous process improvement, and executive management "hands-on" experience. We have successfully helped many organizations who have faced challenges similar to yours.
Every consultant assigned to your engagement will bring in excess of 10 years of hands-on experience in your industry dealing with your issues. Unlike other firms, you don't have to train our professionals. We are the experts. We develop the training programs that others use.
