FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT CONSULTING TARGETS SMALL BUSINESS CFO/CONTROLLER MARKET

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) May 9, 2005 -- Ann Arbor, Michigan, May 8, 2005 � Financial Management Consulting, LLC has been providing outsourced Chief Financial Officer and Controllership services to early stage and entrepreneurial organizations since 2002. They target early stage and entrepreneurial companies requiring affordable, senior level, �in-house� financial expertise on a part-time and project basis. And, their expertise has helped many small businesses to get through the early growth phase when hiring a full time CFO or Controller was out of the question.

Solution Recovery Services, Inc. of Ann Arbor is one case in point. FMC provided financial reporting and cash forecasts during their dynamic early growth phase. Tom Czartoski, CEO of Solution Recovery Services said, �We did not require a full time CFO and recently have retained several professionals from FMC to help us advance our growth and solidify our Financial, IT, and HR infrastructure as a result of our recent merger with United Systems from Cincinnati, Ohio. I can speak from experience, what they said they would do, they did. I am delighted with the results. Their objective financial guidance has allowed us to focus on our core business and make critical decisions with renewed confidence.�

Square Circle Enterprises, Inc., a diversified automotive service group based in Livonia, Michigan had a similar experience. CEO, Anthony Marocco said, �We would be in a different place had they not assisted us. They helped us through some tough crisis situations, advised us on divesting parts of our business and have been closely involved in financing issues.�

Financial Management Consulting serves clients in southeast Michigan, assisting firms while working under a flexible schedule to meet each client�s unique requirements. Martin Cobb, the company founder said,�We seek to bridge the gap between the CPA firm and internal bookkeeper to provide timely, accurate, and relevant information to make decisions and run a business. This often results in increased profitability. As a group, with 20+ year industry experienced career CFOs and Controllers, we are committed to providing big-company financial management methods and best practices to smaller organizations.�

Cobb started as stand-alone consultant in 2002 and has found the demand for outsourced CFO and Controllership services to be overwhelming. �The business grew to the point where I needed to add partners and associates to meet the ever-increasing demand. We currently have six CFO/Controllers with a blended background set to meet the demands of our clients.�

The CFO/Controller service is customized for each client and is especially useful during periods of growth and transition. The firm also offers project-based services in areas such as crisis management, fraud prevention, and activity based costing.
