Are you a type-A personality? A go-getter who wants the job done right the first time? Are you the hands-on guy that runs every aspect of his business? – (Ending up with no time for anything but business). Consumed 24/7? Mouse-on-the-wheel? Is YOUR company in decent shape BUT still not making the money you know it can make? Having to find the time to do things over 2, 3 and 4 times, but never having time to figure out what you should have done to get it right the first time?

Sound familiar? DMA can help, we are committed to

• Developing clear business goals

• Building empowered coordinated teams
• Improving company morale and getting employees to think like owners by developing and implementing an effective incentive plan

There is an old saying in Construction “You move dirt once, you’ve made money, move the same dirt again, you’ve lost money”. It is similar with financial reporting. We will make it so the information is put in once, with USEFUL, TIMELY reports available immediately – so proper requisitions can be sent and tracked, employees and subs can be paid and revenue and cost information can be available to run current jobs and better estimate future jobs .

DMA reviews, customizes, and implements sound business policies and processes in order to enhance operating efficiencies and profitability for the company - Spending too much time in meetings (where minutes are taken and hours are lost)? Left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing? Left hand doing the same job as the right hand over there with another job not getting done at all? We will organize processes and procedures that work and rid the company of “stuff” that is done because “we always did it that way”.

Some of the policies, processes, and procedures we review, organize and customize are:

• Goal setting and budget development
• Cash management, billing, and collection
• Job cost reporting with variance analysis
• WIP (work in process) reporting
• Overhead and labor burden
• Estimating
• Change order management
• Existing pricing methods with gross margin determination
• Management techniques and levels of delegation and involvement
• Project slippage tracking
• Equipment utilization tracking
• Win-to-bid ratio tracking
• Current marketing efforts
• Vendor review
