Management consultants provide advice to organizations to help improve performance. Consultants can be divided into two broad types: strategy and operations. Strategy consultants advise management teams on top-level decisions such as prioritizing new markets to enter, developing price strategies, conducting mergers and acquisitions, identifying how much to invest in research and development, and understanding how to structure the organization and how to deal with competitive threats. Operations consulting is more about implementing strategy –  for instance, knowing how to improve the efficiency of the recruitment process, or implement a new sales strategy.

The Big Four usually refers to the four largest accounting and auditing firms: PricewaterhouseCoopers, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, Ernst & Young, and KPMG. The work that the Big Four are performing in the market currently can be broken into four primary groups: audit, tax, consulting, and transactions. VERVE is an alternative to Big Four audit and accounting firms.

• We provide our clients with service that cannot be matched because we offer the same expertise of a Big Four firm but with more flexibility and value
• Our team provides fresh perspectives and innovative solutions for every client need
• We forge personal connections with clients and bring them results based on decades of experience

Absolutely. The VERVE Code of Ethics strictly forbids any of our consultants from discussing your business with anyone. Even if a consultant feels it is necessary to brainstorm with other industry experts to gain greater insight into a particular situation or find alternative solutions to a difficult problem, your company name and other identifying information will not be divulged.

VERVE offers greater value and flexibility to implement more efficient technology solutions, change the operational status quo of an organization and implement business strategies. More importantly, clients keep control of the entire process as VERVE acts as an internal consultant to assist in all your company goals.

Our clients turn to VERVE for the following:

• Benchmarking
• Manufacturing

• Project Management
• Restructuring
• Sales
• Strategy
• Strategy Implementation

Our team consists of credentialed consultants and project managers that acclimate quickly with minimal supervision and ramp up time. Some certifications include CPA, CIA, CISA, PHR, SPHR, PMP, and MBA. Our consultants are VERVE employees who have walked in your shoes and worked in your world.

The process starts by contacting us so that you can discuss your needs with a project coordinator. After this initial discussion, the coordinator will then assign a consultant (or team of consultants) to further define the scope. The assigned consultant will then follow up with you to get any additional technical details to understand the project and estimate the effort required. Once we have a strong understanding of the project and your needs, VERVE will provide you with a formal proposal detailing the estimated time and costs, project scope and a preliminary schedule. Once you have reviewed and accepted our proposal, we can begin work on your project.
