Our consulting services are always customized to the client’s industry and specific needs and cover most of every business’ strategic and operational areas, as illustrated below:
Strategic Planning
At DARMIC Consulting we believe that a well-planned and executed strategy lies at the heart of strong performance in every organization.
For this reason, we help clients decide where to focus and how to allocate resources by asking thought provoking questions and facilitating a productive dialogue internally, by relying on facts to make key decisions, and by involving key employees expected to implement the strategy in the planning process.
The end result is the detection of capability gaps and marketplace opportunities as well as the definition of tactical goals and tracking systems that enable the client to achieve new levels of performance.
→ Back to the topFinance
Many business owners think that financial planning should be performed only by large corporations. Many others believe that financial planning means finding ways to drive incremental sales, which, in turns, will solve all the problems.
At DARMIC Consulting, financial planning entails establishing levels of income, costs, and expenses in order to pre-engineer an acceptable level of profit. This applies to any entity, from a small business to a large corporation.
By building from the foundation that profit must be pre-engineered and tracked with weekly and monthly monitoring, DARMIC Consulting teaches clients how to control expenses and ensure an improved bottom line.
→ Back to the topHuman Capital
At DARMIC Consulting we have extensive experience with human capital management challenges and we know how to help organizations increase productivity by ensuring our clients have the right people with the right skill set in the right positions. Our holistic approach helps ensure that all levels of the organization work together to create an innovative, talent-powered group of people focused on achieving higher performance.
We understand that good decision making begins with clear roles and accountabilities. That is why DARMIC Consulting helps clients create functional organizations that remove any possible ambiguity and hold employees accountable, thus unleashing productivity and creativity.
By assigning performance metrics to each role, we enable clients to accurately track and measure employee performance, which translates into the ability to better determine adequate compensation methods, training opportunities, and hiring needs.
In larger organizations, our work mainly focuses on helping leaders change the corporate culture to close perception gaps and improve internal communication. The ultimate goal is to transform rigid, ”siloed” companies into forward-thinking organizations, where a team spirit continually fosters creativity and growth.
→ Back to the topOperations
DARMIC Consulting is committed to helping clients improve operations by making the best use of the resources they available. Blending strategy with execution, we develop operational strategies to help companies solve their most critical problems.
We start by examining the efficiency and effectiveness of the client's processes to determine whether they deliver the highest quality goods and services in the most productive way, at the most competitive prices. We then correct the workflow where appropriate to eliminate bottlenecks, improve overall efficiency and effectiveness, typically generating cost savings in excess of 20 percent. Furthermore, the client is able to achieve reduced cycle times and increased quality and customer satisfaction.
→ Back to the topSales and Marketing
Well-executed marketing programs drive up both revenue and profits. DARMIC Consulting works with clients to structure such programs carefully in order to target the right customer segments, create the appropriate image, and strengthen the brand. We initially focus on brand management, including competitive positioning, to then develop the best possible marketing mix and resource allocation for the client based on their business model.
The ultimate goal is doing more with less spending on marketing. By applying a comprehensive set of efficiency and effectiveness tools, our clients are able to increase sales results while reducing marketing expenses by an average of more than 15 percent.
→ Back to the topDistribution
DARMIC Consulting uses a set of tools to perform a rigorous analysis of our clients' distribution strategy and overall cost position. We analyze key performance metrics and operating practices, comparing them to best practices and finding inefficiencies. We then develop and implement long-term solutions that will improve processes and generate cost savings for the client.
→ Back to the topMonitoring and Tracking
Without the ability to monitor and track the performance of the business, pre-engineering profit and managing operations to properly control costs and expenses may prove to be ineffective.
The degree of progress towards financial and operational objectives must be measured on a regular and continuing basis according to a set of criteria that specifically applies to our clients’ business model.
DARMIC Consulting works to establish the right set of metrics for every aspect of the business, allowing senior management to monitor the company’s performance and to take immediate corrective action whenever a negative variance impacts the pre-planned bottom line.
→ Back to the topManagerial Accounting
DARMIC Consulting focuses on managerial accounting, where information is aimed at helping managers within the organization make decisions. We teach business leaders how to master the process of identifying, measuring, analyzing, interpreting, and communicating information for the pursuit of their organization's goals.
Additionally, DARMIC Consulting offers clients using the QuickBooks accounting software highly specific help to learn, use, customize and obtain the most value possible from their QuickBooks investment through consultants who are also certified by Intuit as QuickBooks Pro Advisors.
99% of small and mid-sized businesses only rely on traditional financial accounting, which is aimed at providing information to parties outside the organization (usually the IRS for tax purposes).
