Rate studies: Establishing fair and defensible structures
Creating sustainable and equitable rates is vital for fiscal stability. Our objective analysis helps to determine if your rates are defensible, transparent, and aligned with your agency’s mission and goals. With a focus on data-driven insights, we can help you build rates and rate structures that stand up to scrutiny and foster public trust.
Fee studies: Balancing compliance and revenue needs
Fee development requires a careful balance between funding operational needs and maintaining public confidence. We design tailored, actionable fee structures that are compliant with regulations, transparent in calculation, and adaptable to evolving program demands to help your agency achieve fiscal sustainability.
Cost studies: Understanding the economic impacts of programs
Understanding the costs associated with your program and future program implementations lays the foundation to make informed decisions. Our cost studies provide clear, objective insights that support program sustainability. Many of these studies include extensive outreach to diverse sets of external program participants, and they can deliver independent, unbiased, and defensible results that withstand scrutiny.
Indirect cost allocation rate development: Securing federal and contract compliance
Indirect cost rates are essential for federal funding, contracts, and demonstrating compliance. Our team develops clear, defensible allocation methodologies tailored to your agency’s needs. Whether meeting federal requirements, supporting grant applications, or optimizing program funding, our data-driven approach offers transparency and accuracy while helping you maximize available resources.
