Financial Reporting

In a service industry, whereby goods are not supplied as a component to your business, Certified Consulting Group’s solvency is not an issue.  The issue for financial display is the growth and expansion the company has realized to prove performance.  The dollar volume of assets valued for our clients over the past few years is in excess of $1.2 Billion and is growing at about $200 million per year. Our company is averaging almost 300 individual appraisals per year.
