Why Giersch Group Business Consulting is Worth It

For Small Businesses

Most small business owners started their business because of a specific skill set or product. While they may be extremely knowledgeable or even experts at what they do, their expertise doesn’t always extend to business management.

We often meet incredibly talented small business owners with little or no idea:

• How to understand or use their basic financial data
• How to grow their business
• How to anticipate and plan for future challenges

While it’s common for a business owner to hire an accountant to file their taxes or a lawyer to review their contracts, it’s far less common to hire a consultant to help them run an efficient and profitable business.

It’s no surprise so many startups never make the 10-year mark.

Even if a small business owner does want professional consulting services, the cost of hiring a business consultant or top management consulting firm is often out of reach.

We'll help you make the right moves with high-profit strategies.

Giersch Group business management consultants help small business owners break the cycle of working hard for no money. We offer enterprise-level consulting services targeting financial results at affordable rates for businesses of all sizes.

For Mid-Sized Businesses

Mid-sized companies often have to deal with many of the issues (such as structure, politics & communication) large companies face, without the financial resources, systems & procedures large companies benefit from.

While they likely have a better understanding (compared to a small business) of business financial fundamentals, they often struggle to independently figure out how to create and implement effective strategies for continued growth.

Giersch Group management consulting helps mid-sized businesses identify and improve in areas directly impacting their bottom line. We’ll help you rethink your spending so your business gets a higher ROI.

Nationwide Business Financial Consulting Services

What is business financial consulting?

A financial consultant works with businesses and individuals to help them better manage their finances and plan for future growth. While the rewards of running your own business can be great there are very real risks. A financial consultant provides the insight and guidance a business needs to minimize risk and maximize profitability.

It's your money. Our financial consulting services help small business owners understand the financial impact of business decisions & increase profitability.

According to a U.S. Bank study, 82% of businesses that fail cite cash flow problems as the reason for their failure, and 80% said they struggled due to underestimating how much money it would take to start their business. Finding ways to raise money, knowing where and when to invest in your business, and taking advantage of legitimate ways to reduce taxes are all within the scope of a financial consultant’s duties.

How business financial consulting can benefit your business

As a business owner, you have a to-do list that never ends. Chances are you’re not a financial expert, and there are just too few hours in a day to take the time to become one. That’s where our business financial consulting comes in.

The Giersch Group will take a detailed look at your finances to assess your business’ financial health, advise you on tax issues, and recommend strategies to increase your profitability (or to get your business profitable). With a full suite of financial advisory services, including accounting, bookkeeping, interim and virtual CFO and Controller plans, and tax compliance services, The Giersch Group has all the resources a small business needs.

Why The Giersch Group is the best business financial consulting value for small businesses

As a small business ourselves, many of us from families that ran small businesses so we have an affinity for small businesses. We realize budgets are tight, so we offer consulting plans based on your needs and budget.

While many small businesses are averse to spending money on financial consulting, the time and money they save by bringing in a consultant easily outweighs the initial cost. We’ve helped hundreds of small to mid-sized businesses throughout the greater Milwaukee, Brookfield, and Madison areas, and we can do the same for you.

Business Marketing Consulting Services

What are marketing consulting services?

Marketing consulting is advice on how a business should best use its marketing budget to attract and retain customers. We first learn about your business and how your market perceives you. We then create a marketing plan specific to your business. The plan includes goals and metrics for gauging success.

With so many marketing options available today, particularly digital media, it is becoming increasingly critical for businesses to accurately identify their market, their location, and the media that will be most effective at reaching them. The Giersch Group has extensive experience at pinpointing the most likely and lucrative markets for a wide range of businesses and products.

Benefits of Giersch Group marketing consulting

We don’t offer one-size-fits-all marketing plans. With The Giersch Group, you get a custom marketing plan designed to deliver maximum return on investment. If you need assistance implementing the plan, we can also recommend third-party agencies. 

As a full-service consultancy, The Giersch Group offers complete business consulting services—including accounting, bookkeeping, tax compliance, virtual and interim CFO placement, and succession planning. We also have an archive of business marketing resources available here on our website. Here are just a few articles you may find useful:

• Understanding the marketing cycle
• Marketing vs Sales: finding the right balance
• Basics of push & pull marketing
• Creating a focused marketing plan

The best way to evaluate if The Giersch Group is a good fit for your business is to schedule a free consultation. You can meet with us online or at our downtown Milwaukee, Brookfield or Madison location—whichever is most convenient for you.
