Our consultants bring deep industry knowledge and proven methodologies to solve complex challenges in specific industry sector.

"One of the best tips the prior CFO gave me was to have ERA Group go back to the market at the end of the two year engagement period with our art, office and school supplies purchases. By doing this, we saved additional money and kept the previous pricing in place. Going into a new position at a new school system, this was one very complex budget item that I was confident was being handled well by ERA Group and allowed me to focus on other priorities.” Initial $275,000 (42%) savings, subsequent $50,000 (10%).
