DLC PROVIDES FLEXIBLE,

EFFICIENT, ON-DEMAND EXECUTION

OF YOUR FINANCIAL PROJECTS.

We do the work. We get projects done.

That’s the point.

Projects are inflection points – they can lead to faster growth, more efficient

operations, and a healthier bottom line. But they can also be a challenge to manage

and execute. They can overburden executives and staff already busy with day-to-day

responsibilities, and can require skills and background that may not be present within

the organization.

The solution is DLC. We provide the people you need, whether that’s one consultant

or a team. They have the technical knowledge and hands-on experience you require.

They focus exclusively on your project until it is done – on time and on target.

THE RIGHT SOLUTION STARTS

WITH THE RIGHT FORMULA.

People. Fit. Execution.

Our goal – and yours – is successful completion of your project. Our formula for

accomplishing that is simple but powerful:

We start with the right people. DLC professionals apply years of formal training and

practical experience to their assignments.

We carefully analyze your project, and select consultants with the credentials and

hands-on expertise that fit your needs.

Then our people get to work, applying their know-how to complete your project.

DLC delivers talented people, selected to fit your specific project, who put their skills

to work for you.

WE ENSURE THAT OUR DLC CONSULTANTS MEASURE UP.

DLC full-time professionals are CPAs with Big 4 experience or MBAs from top

business schools, all with finance and accounting experience at Fortune 1000

companies. We attract top talent by creating an environment that recognizes and

rewards their abilities and capacity to make meaningful contributions to the clients

they serve. They have the technical training, desk-level expertise and people skills

to work effectively within your organization.

OUR CONSULTANTS’ SKILL SETS ARE ON TARGET FOR YOUR PROJECT.

Matching the right people to a project can dramatically accelerate its successful

completion. DLC analyzes our clients’ needs and distills them into required tasks and

skill sets; we then deploy consultants whose training, skills and experience are best

matched to the project.

STRATEGY WITHOUT EXECUTION IS PROMISE WITHOUT PERFORMANCE.

Our consultants don’t just hand you clever recommendations and walk away. We are

in the business of getting your projects done.

WHAT GOOD ARE EXPERIENCE

AND INSIGHT IF YOU CAN’T

EXECUTE?

Know. Think. Do.

KNOW: EXPERIENCE, SKILL

DLC consultants have the knowledge and experience to tackle financial projects

effectively. They are CPAs with Big 4 experience or MBAs from top business schools,

all with finance and accounting experience at Fortune 1000 companies.

THINK: APPLIED INSIGHT

Successful completion of a major project requires more than technical expertise.

It calls for an understanding of how companies work from the inside. Our consultants

understand how to ensure that project objectives align with your company’s immediate

needs and long-term goals.

DO: EXECUTION

DLC consultants are focused on delivering practical, effective solutions. We know

you want results, not just reports or recommendations. After we work with you to

identify the best approach to achieving your objective, we roll up our sleeves and get

the job done.

OUR UNIQUE OPERATING

MODEL MAY NOT SEEM THAT

EXCITING.

But to a CFO it looks grand.

11

DLC consultants are highly skilled professionals with superb credentials and broad

experience inside many of the world’s leading companies. From that rich pool of talent,

we select those consultants who have the technical knowledge

and desk-level experience to execute your project successfully.

These talented individuals choose to join DLC because we

offer a professional environment, unique long-term employment

agreements, and an employment package that recognizes

and rewards their skills.

DLC concentrates on financial project execution. Many consulting and professional service

firms support a range of ancillary offerings, such as tax and audit, which substantially

increase their overhead and legal liability.

Our focused service offering and lean operating model enable us to deliver exceptional

value. That means you pay for results, not overhead.

THE PROBLEM WITH

TALKING ABOUT “ADDED VALUE”

IS JUST THAT... IT’S TALK.

DLC approaches each project with a focus on delivering results, understanding that

the successful execution of a project can contribute to the client’s long-term goals.

We provide our clients with project execution capabilities in:
