"Early in the year 2000,
we updated our computer
system to enhance our
sales and shipping
functions.
Unfortunately, an
undetected flaw in the
software resulted in a
substantial financial
loss. While we knew we
would have to
drastically increase
sales in the next year
to compensate for the
loss, our accounting
firm was unable to give
us any practical advice
as to how to accomplish
this. I called HLA and
was introduced to CPA
Performance Views
Services. Carl believed
the program's structure
and methodology would
enable us to achieve our
financial goals. While
facilitating discussions
with management, HLA
helped our staff to
establish daily
financial quotas, as
well as to examine the
work required in
achieving them. In the
year since the program
was implemented, we not
only succeeded in
reversing our financial
dilemma, but also
established an exciting,
new open line of
company-wide
communication that has
increased employee
participation and
improved morale. CPA
Performance Views
Services is an excellent
program every business
owner should consider."
Eddie Henline of
Glass & Mirror
Services:
"While my eight employee
company had shown a 60%
increase in sales over
the past two years, the
business had begun to
run me. My partner and
I were operating in
crisis mode all the time
with the employees never
knowing what to prepare
for in advance. Morale
was getting low and
something had to be
done. During the CPA
Performance Views
Services facilitation
sessions, we established
work operation systems,
partly derived from
employee suggestions,
which focused on
delegation of duties and
work quality. I was
really surprsed by my
employees' enthusiasm
for the sessions, which,
I think, gave them a
greater sense of
ownership in the
business. We now have a
centralized work
schedule that all
employees can view at
any time. The employees
have also helped to
establish an incentive
program which rewards
quality service and
reduced materials
waste. My involvement
in day to day operations
and my stress level have
decreased
significantly. Thanks
HLA."
