"It was a good fit for us. We were weak in what RAI Stone was strong in... I was pretty impressed with how quickly RAI Stone got us to speed. It was tough, so to have someone like the RAI Stone Group point me in a direction... it was certainly beneficial."

FAQ

• Do you implement the improvements RAI Stone Analytics recommends?

  No. We provide suggestions on the best methods to use to execute the recommendations, but it is up to the business owner and their team of professionals to determine a step by step plan, e.g. we provide the blueprint and a list of materials based on what you want to achieve but not the muscle.
   

• I don't want the report to show the financials.

The analysis is guided by the financial information provided, as a starting point. We don't show the financial statements in any of the reports because the value of the business intelligence we provide is in showing how all the business components interact and influence each others' outcomes in that specific company.
 

• Should we send our tax returns?

  No. In fact, it’s often simpler for us to take your financial statements in their raw form (Excel, Quickbooks, etc.) because our system reallocates the data for use in the final analysis. If we have questions, we don’t hesitate to ask.

• Can you work with incomplete data?

  We can begin work with incomplete data unless the company is a start up. It is necessary to have at least two full years of financials before this process provides accurate results.

• What if you receive bad records?

  Sophisticated algorithms flag when data is impossible, such as a date of 14/35/2111, or when calculation results are very unlikely. In these instances, a quick call by your analyst will clear it up.

• Can you serve all industries and types of companies?

The company must be 2 years old or older. All other industries and companies with up to $65 million in revenues qualify.
