What's it like to work with Rutlen Associates?

This page will tell you the type of results our clients have reported. It will also give you a sense of our values, approach to client projects, and how we are different from most service providers.

Expected Results

You will leverage the best practices of hundreds of companies. You don't need to reinvent the wheel. Drawing on years of experience we will help you incorporate appropriate best practices in your policies, processes, and procedures.

You will implement solutions that meet the needs of Human Resources, Payroll, Tax, and Finance. You don't need to spend hours identifying all the potential issues. We will help you identify your key issues and develop solutions that work for you.

You will make smart decisions and find the right balance of cost/benefit. You don't need to bury your head in the sand because the problem seems too complicated or the solution too expensive. We will help you make appropriate risk management decisions.

You will use technology wisely. You don't need to rely on your current vendor to identify their technology solution to fit your needs. We will analyze a variety of technology tools and help you select the one that works best for you.

Our Values

• We listen.
• We are proactive.
• We understand.
• We are solutions oriented.
• We are pragmatic.
• We are cost-effective.
• We build long-term relationships.
• We have unquestioned integrity.

Our focus is to listen to you, understand your problems, and develop the solution that is right for you. We develop a solution that is appropriate for your demographics, your tolerance for risk, and your administrative capabilities. We focus on delivering value and building a long-term relationship — not generating a lot of fees. We want to make you successful and achieve your goals. Our focus is to be open and honest with our clients.

Our Approach

We're going to be responsive to your needs. We know different clients need different things — for some that means we are an integral member of your team; for others we are an expert you periodically consult. We are going listen to you and to develop a solution to fit your needs — not give you a canned response. And when appropriate, we are happy to introduce you to other service providers and help you effectively utilize them.

We're going to develop a solution that balances the needs of different constituencies. A solution that works for the Human Resources Department, but not for Corporate Tax, isn't really a solution. Our experience in Human Resources, Payroll, Tax, and Finance allows us to identify ancillary issues and bring these diverse functions together.

We're going to communicate clearly. These are complicated areas. Our goal is not to make you an expert, but to ensure you understand the key issues. And we don't hide behind code sections or technical jargon.

Our Uniqueness

What makes our consulting stand out is our expertise and breadth of experience. All of our consultants have a minimum of 20 years of experience, so you don't have to train us. We have extensive international accounting firm experience serving both large and small companies. We have been there … and done that. We know what works.

We aren't tied to a specific technology solution or service delivery model. We don't charge the international accounting firm prices. And we know when to bring in other experts.
