What does IBA do for its clients?
We provide an objective, third party comprehensive analysis of the business to give an unbiased view of its strengths and weaknesses. The business analysis takes approximately one to three days. Our target market is businesses that range from $10,000,000 to hundreds of millions in annual revenue. We draw from more than 250 analysts with different backgrounds and experience. In order to ensure a successful business analysis, the Senior Business Analysts are assigned based on their background and expertise as it relates to specific client needs. During an analysis, the Senior Business Analyst will review, among other things, company financials and compare them to those of other companies in the same industry, interview key employees, review the business operations, and review goals and objectives. The Senior Business Analyst will determine if you are on track to meet your immediate business objectives and your long-term business and personal goals, including financial security.
In addition, the Senior Business Analyst will discuss with you and make recommendations about how to improve business operations, increase productivity, make the business run more efficiently, improve ease of operations, increase profitability, develop productivity-based excess profit incentive plans for employees, decrease your tax burden with proven tax reduction strategies, develop a succession plan, improve business value, develop greater employee accountability, reduce the stress you feel as a business owner, and review all other business issues of interest to you. Our number one goal is your satisfaction.
Although 80 percent of the work we do is operational and 20 percent financial, we do conduct a comprehensive review of financial performance in order to provide a return on investment calculation tied to implementing our recommended business improvements.
The Senior Business Analyst assigned to your business will perform the work onsite and will be in consultation with a Survey Services Director, located at IBA headquarters, who has access to all company resources. The resources include, but are not limited to, business and financial data, comparative business performance benchmarks provided by Dun & Bradstreet, and our prior consulting case studies. Furthermore, our headquarters team of Survey Services Directors have an extraordinary range of experience and expertise and are available for collaboration in developing recommendations to address any business problem.
