Consulting
Nesso Strategies has more than 15 years of profitably guiding law firms through economic conditions of all kinds. We know that taking control of your own future is the key to success and we will help create and implement your strategic plan when you are ready.
We begin with an analysis of your firm’s strengths and weaknesses, including internal and external forces. We collaborate with you to develop the goals for your competitive advantage. We evaluate effectiveness and efficiencies in your current structure and make recommendations for increasing productivity in management, firm structure, and business development. In just one offsite meeting the firm can catapult forward with positive initiatives and renewed energy!
Our services include:
- Meeting Facilitation
- We have assisted non-profit boards and for-profit business owners in achieving their strategic goals. Our dynamic facilitation skills begin with the planning for your next offsite meeting. Whether you are looking for an educational and interactive event to a social and light-hearted retreat, we can help. Possible topics to consider from us: teambuilding, business development, strategic planning, and stress management – any of which would be tailored to your organization.
- Financial
- We have a rich background in financial and profitability analysis and assessment of law firms. Our expertise in efficiency and effectiveness is the backdrop for our review of financial controls, including accounting procedures in the billing, receivables, payables and cash flow areas. We also evaluate trust accounting procedures and financial reporting processes. Our review of your current profitability often provides the best information for improving the firm’s bottom line in the future. We conduct interviews, in-person evaluations, and provide a written analysis for consideration and implementation. We can focus on one element of your firm’s financial health, or incorporate all of these items in the evaluation. We can implement any part of the analysis, or the entire plan – at your decision.
- Human Resources
- Our experience in hiring and termination is your benefit in navigating screening, interviewing, incentives, and all other personnel related concerns including handling difficult employees. We can provide interview skills training, and accounting skills training in addition to leadership development and job coaching training. Our training can be done over the phone or in-person, at your discretion.
- Operations
- We review overall office efficiency in work flow, including records retention, space utilization and facility design (including office moves and build outs). We review your current policies and make recommendations for maximizing efficiency by interviewing and reviewing current processes and daily flow.
- Coaching
- If you are stuck on moving initiatives forward, want to jump off the indecision bandwagon, or looking for more leadership skills in your environment, we welcome the opportunity to work with you! We work with managers, attorneys, and key staff to develop personal empowerment, self-esteem, and decision making with authority. Consider the coaching relationship as being a built-in accountability to grow yourself, and your skills in the workplace – two for one! Every client relationship is confidential and individualized. Coaching is a commitment to the future of YOU. We design our coaching relationships on your preference – in person, on the phone, during the week, or on the weekend. We require a three month commitment to the process to see lasting change, and the client chooses a longer relationship in most instances.
- Business Development
- We have resources to collaborate in designing your marketing materials, your client satisfaction surveys and marketing plans specific to your firm, or each rainmaker. We offer strong strategic alliances with industry experts to design the right survey for your clientele, the best marketing plan for each attorney and firm, and the highest brand design and strategist available.
We help business minds mind their business! Our ultimate goal is an increase in your bottom line.
