Government, Municipal, & Education
Government and university leaders face unprecedented challenges in the wake of the global COVID-19 pandemic. Unanticipated expenses, diminished revenue sources, increased demand for enhanced public safety and public health services have forced leaders to rethink service delivery, organizational structures, information systems, and financial management. The need for transformation coupled with public demand for transparency adds to the pressure to move carefully and with purpose.
We work with governments, universities, and not-for-profit agencies to drive efficiency, yielding improved quality services while saving precious budget dollars. Our professionals bring financial and planning expertise and offer unique experience, having advised and served in governments. Our service offerings range from performance improvement to crisis management, providing innovative approaches to public safety risk management, pension reform, and general operations. We have a proven track record over the past ten years effecting lasting, transformative change in most of the largest municipal fiscal crises, and our analysis is fact-driven, economically based, and nonpartisan. We advise our clients on policy implications and how to mitigate “headline risks” that accompany policy changes, including providing public testimony to validate our clients’ initiatives.

"It can be a long, difficult process forward (for a local or regional bank facing a restructuring amid compliance issues). The institution is likely to find itself—at least in the short term—crippled by a lack of access to capital stemming from an inability to originate mortgage loans that can then be sold to the secondary market." - Harve Light( Crain's Detroit )
