The only constant in this world is change. The same law hold trues in the world of Business. Competition is ruthless, fierce and unforgiving. Consumers are savvy and expect high quality products and services at low prices. Vendor supply chains are dynamic and unpredictable. Employees are looking for higher earnings, more time off, and strive to gain as much experience as possible (for their next career opportunity) Government guidelines, restrictions, and regulations require business to adapt to the changing times.

Your time, energy, and resources are all sacrifices and investments that you’ve made with no guaranteed return.

Are you getting the ROI that you deserve?

Problem Solving, Strategic Planning, and Business Development

Advising

We take pride in helping small businesses clearly navigate through the foggy pathways and choppy waters of the financial world. Cash flows like the tides of an ocean rolling in and going back out on a daily. No one can control the tides, but we can accurately predict when they will occur. This is knowledge; and knowledge is power.

Entrepreneurs, investors, business owners and managers all have the ‘authority’ to make decisions every day. But do they use their power to make good ones?

Just like a Sea Captain monitors the control panel to ensure a safe and successful journey; small business owners use financial statements and reports in the same way. Better understanding your financial situation will give you more control over your business. You will be able to make smart decisions that are in alignment with your vision and goals. We help business owners read, interpret, and understand your instrument panel to strategically plan your path of travel and avoid hazardous obstacles. When the tides of the storm hits, you’ll be prepared to power boost your business through turbulent times.

We help our clients analyze financial statements, sales reports and account receivables and look for new ways to increase revenue and diversify income streams.

Many times small business owners need a neutral party to audit utility bills, financial statements, and expense accounts to help identify where money is going. We help you find new ways to reduce your expenses and help you to increase your profits.

If you need expert business advise as to how to increase your sales, reduce your expenses and maximize your profits, then you should contact J Harold Trost Consulting today.

Build it.

The information and technology that a business requires to operate is among the most important assets that needs to protect especially in today’s competitive market. Business owners rely on telecommunication services, internet providers, data networks, computer systems, and software companies just to conduct daily operations. Additionally, they are expected to protect proprietary and confidential company, employee and customer information. The infrastructure of these information systems are faced with daily threats like cyber attacks, incompatibility issues, scheduled maintenance and planned obsolescence.

We help small business owners conduct an audit of critical technology to identify possible points of failure and determine potential risk of disrupting operations.
