End-to-End Project Ownership

Managing every aspect of your project, from start to success.

Salo’s end-to-end project team combines large-consulting-team quality with small-team flexibility and grit. We’re not the kind of firm to make some recommendations and leave. We like to see a project through to the end. We will be with you from idea to acceptance. From clarity to completion. From start to success.

Our expert finance, accounting and human resources consultants deliver business evolving results by:

Working with your team to define the project scope and an end-to-end project plan
Using proven, pragmatic Salo methodologies
Maintaining a consistent team and constant accountability throughout the project
Fostering collaboration with (and within) your team, so they can embrace change

Our team: Talent you’ll call on again and again.

After working together, clients and our consultants develop a certain comradery. So much so, that clients often request the same people the next time they have a project in mind. After all, working with the same consultant more than once creates continuity, shortens the learning curve and increases productivity. This is especially true for consultants that work on long, complicated projects—like our end-to-end consulting team.

Comprised of senior, full-time consultants and led by experienced principals, our team earns client trust with their expertise, communication skills, and hands-on approach to all aspects of a project. Once assigned to a project, our consultants stay with it all the way through. Because they work closely with their clients’ team, get to know each client’s business, and successfully drive business outcomes, clients call on them again and again.

Recent Engagements

Our consultants work exclusively in the areas of finance, accounting, and human resources. Here are some examples of the projects we’re proud to have been a part of:

Selecting an HR system

When a manufacturing client needed a new HR system, Salo helped every step of the way. The Salo team defined key business requirements, supported RFP development, assisted the client through the demonstration phase, and provided insight on which vendor was the best fit.

Building a business case for restructuring

After a technology change, a mid-size construction company asked Salo to design a business case for a proposed organizational restructure. After data collection, workshops and business process reviews, Salo defined a new organizational model that allows HR to work more strategically with the business and increase efficiencies.

Increasing employee engagement through culture

After realizing employee engagement was low, a small, service-based organization engaged Salo to help reinvigorate its culture. After defining metrics and conducting an employee survey, the Salo team led a workshop where the whole company collaborated to design a culture charter—establishing formal cultural guidelines and expectations.

HR system selection support

Salo helped a client select an HR system. Our team defined key business requirements, supported RFP development, assisted the client through the demonstration phase, and provided insight on which vendor was the best fit.

Acquisition integration

For an agricultural chemicals client, a major acquisition resulted in rethinking nearly every business process in the company. Our consulting team helped transition accounting processes without any loss in controls or reporting integrity. As a result, the client successfully transitioned all accounting activities within six months.

Integrating processes across divisions

An ERP implementation required our client in the consumer packaged goods industry to standardize the financial close process and integrate processes across its North America region. Our team worked with the client’s divisions—who had previously operated their financial closes independently—to create and implement a master close schedule.
