What Makes Us Different.

Since ICC is not a "Big Four" accounting firm, we do not need to be concerned about conflict of interest concerns with audit requirements. We have substantial accounting and systems experience, but we are not CPA's nor auditors. As a boutique consulting firm, we provide the client with great subject matter expertise, and we don't deliver any "Joe Fuzzy Cheeks" consultants. The highlights of what makes us different are:

• Cost effective, timely, independent , objective review and analysis by experienced multidisciplinary practitioners
• Ability to produce an objective, accurate and realistic assessment of the "AS IS" environment
• Ability to identify gaps in documentation, processes, technical shortcomings or potential/actual risk exposures throughout the organization
• Serve as a valuable extension of audit, compliance, IT and operational internal resources to supplement organizational staffing constraints
• Provide actionable recommendations suited to increased productivity and mitigation of business process risk
• We provide experienced practitioners for on-site consulting. Many large consulting firms sell you the experience of a partner, but deliver "Joe Fuzzy Cheeks" to actually do the work.

Our Value Proposition.

ICC provides a cost effective resource for clients seeking specialized expertise provided by seasoned practitioners who are recognized experts within the financial services industry. Our value proposition lies in our ability to provide independent, objective advice and guidance on complex business problems in the investment business. Our overarching goal in all client interactions is to provide real world, results oriented, practical solutions that can be implemented within a client's organizational environment. Our clients can attest to our competence and results in consistently improving the operating productivity, processing efficiency and overall profitability of their investment operation.
