Let’s face it, we all know money doesn’t fall from the sky. It takes ambition, dedication, and good old-fashioned hard work to make money in any business. But it also takes something more in the A/E/P and environmental consulting industry—it takes specialized knowledge of how to increase revenue and reduce costs, awareness of the right metrics to watch in order to prevent trouble, an understanding of how to maintain and increase cash flow, and a firm grasp of the relationship of staffing to profitability. And you also need to know what to do when another firm comes knocking, looking at you as an acquisition target, as well as how best to go shopping for firms to expand your own business when the time is right.
