Long's Drugs and Medical equipment - Aug 16, 2012

Posted by: Arthur "Bud" Olecheck in Testimonials

Long's has been working with Bud for about two years. Our project was to install a new internal company Controller and AP department and to improve our financial statements so that we and our lending partners could have a more clear understanding of the performance of each of our entities. The success of our relationship has been measured by improved performances by identifying needed adjustments and changes through budgeting and projections. The improved financials have helped secure more and better financing to fuel our growth, allowing us to be smarter borrowers and smarter managers of old and new business. Long's is very pleased with our relationship with our part time CFO who now continues to help us understand where and how to make changes to improve areas of our operations that need improvement. All of this activity has made us more money on old business and smarter about growth opportunities. I would highly recomend that you spend some time with Bud to hear what he believes he can do to help you better understand your business. Ken Long President Long's Drugs

Caw Caw Creek and the All Local Farmers' Market - Dec 21, 2011

Wow. When I first met Arthur -"Bud" - my decade-old business was disorganized and off-track to say the least. First he held an all-day interview (at no cost!) which taught me as much about my business as it did him! After a couple follow-up conversations he gave me a step-by-step plan for correcting all that ailed us, and after a few months of hard work we have a serious set of books, and more importantly a way to plan effectively and profitably. Bud has a great personality and is easy to work with. He listens, digests, and interprets, perfectly balancing my creative personality with his acute attention to detail. I tried going this route before, and encountered wagging fingers instead of constructive criticism. Many entrepreneurs lack financial training, like me, and I appreciate Bud's positive attitude as well as his effectiveness.

Clarity, focus, and attention to what matters. These are the benefits of working with Arthur (Bud) Olecheck. My partner and I had managed our respective divisions of our business on well educated guesses and assumptions. The moment we began managing our business with real data, the decisions became easier and the outcomes more positive. In addition to the financial structure and analysis, Bud also tactfully guided our discussions toward productive dialogue and away from our historical back and forth banters of our individual beliefs of where the potholes were in our business. Through our conversion process to a data driven company, Bud quietly taught us the why behind the outcomes and provided us sound suggestions as to how to move the outcomes in a positive manner. The oversight Bud provided us over the past two years has definitely left our company in much better position today than it was when we first met him. My only wish is that we had met Bud sooner.

I've been in business for 20+ years and have never had the ability or desire to understand the numbers part of owning a business. Bud(Arthur) Olecheck has helped me in so many ways. He has evaluated the business and made many suggestions, for the improved efficiency of my office. He has given me clearer understanding that I am not in business just for entertainment, but to make good choices and be profitable. He is always professional, pleasant and cheerful.I would recommend him to anyone who is starting a new business or looking to improve the bottom line in an existing one.
