Budgeting/Forecasting

Go from predictably awful to awfully predictable

Whether you’re tired of justifying your data or cringe at playing department diplomat when the funding requests roll in, putting together the budget is a task many CFOs dread. But it doesn’t have to be. In fact, we’ve found that higher ed is one of the easiest industries to predict. More than 80 institutions have overhauled their budgeting and forecasting process with our free multi-year forecasting model. Interactive, transparent and above all, accurate, COMP4cast gets your entire team on the same page by answering “What if?” questions in real time.

Interim Leadership

Turn a point of transition into a period of transformation

The departure of a CFO can usher in equal parts opportunity and anxiety. While you may relish the chance to change course, you know it’s unwise to leave your operational ship without a captain for long. Engaging an interim CFO can help you tackle both. We’ll take the helm until the right replacement is found, giving you the breathing room to recruit a talented candidate whose mission aligns with your own. Along the way, we’ll overhaul inefficient processes and implement best practices to pave the way for a smooth transition.

Turnaround

“Another small college to close” doesn’t have to be your headline

Confronted with an unambiguously grim financial outlook, you feel like the captain of the Titanic, iceberg warning in hand. You may have executed your fair share of panic-driven cost-cutting measures in the past, only to find yourself in the same uncomfortable position yet again. So, now what? If you’re facing a turnaround, partner with an advisor who knows the way out. Using our unique set of metrics, we’ll help you identify areas of drag and promise to plot a prosperous way forward for your institution.
