HEI provides strategic fiscal guidance to industry and government, typically part of a change management assignment. Many organizations treat money and assets as constant-value items, with second-order effects like depreciation being the limit of forward looking financial planning. In perspective, strategic financial management for a typical organization usually looks three to five years into the future while companies with significant longer-term capital or expense commitments may extend their view to a decade or more.

Strategic financial control helps an organization plan its fiscal commitments proactively — we help a company establish valid financial control based on sound principles of economic choice. We include far-reaching future effects like the cost of raising debt and equity, tax effects, benefits and liabilities, as well as costs of energy and raw materials, those things that will materially affect a business. This lets a client's management plan for, and adapt to change without need for crisis management.

Our strategic fiscal management services are not a replacement for an in-place accounting organization but rather provide economic and operational management, philosophy and planning tools for a client's responsible planners.

We provide strategic information including future-looking budgeting considerations for client decisions about capital, revenue and expense cash flows, staffing, product and outsourcing. Furthermore, what-if and cross-elasticity analyses show the likely outcomes of management decisions affecting the future, but made now. A successful business is built on a foundation of strategic planning for all major aspects of its operations.
