Case In Point:
The CEO of several facilities wanted to know if his suspicions about the state of the business office at one of his facilities were correct. He hired us to perform a review of the business office with an emphasis on the accounts receivable. The Business Office Manager put in her notice upon learning that someone was coming in to look things over. We immediately took over the billing while they filled the position. We then trained the new hire who was able to start with a clean desk and a clean aging.
