Financial Management Planning
It’s all about vision.
Whether you’re considering a major infrastructure project, developing a capital improvement plan or evaluating the fiscal impacts of service and staffing alternatives, Ehlers collaborates with you to create a strong, long-term Financial Management Plan that provide clear ways to reach short-term goals and realize your long-term vision. It doesn’t replace your annual or even multi-year budgeting process. It strengthens it, harmonizing capital and operating budgets over an extended forecast period, helping you more effectively handle the inevitability of changing financial and economic circumstances and manage growth.
Financial Management Planning Services are provided by Ehlers & Associates.
