Newly Formed Hannum & Co. Provides Comprehensive Financial Management for Local Businesses

Birmingham, Ala., June 15, 2009 – Josh Hannum, who has years of experience as a CPA, industry accountant, and business executive responsible for successfully growing and navigating a start up business, has announced the formation of Hannum & Co. (http://www.hannumco.com/). This new company is a business consulting firm focused on providing comprehensive financial management for local businesses.

The firm’s core competency is providing expert oversight for the financial operations of its clients. Hannum & Co. provides all foundational accounting services for its clients including: general ledger management, financial statement preparation, and financial analysis. In addition, the firm provides other services including strategic planning, budgeting, performance metrics, revenue enhancement and cost reduction services. The firm integrates its services with other professionals (e.g. CPA firms and attorneys) to result in comprehensive and well tuned financial operations. In essence Hannum & Co. provides the services and benefits of having an experienced executive (e.g. controller, CFO or COO) on an outsourced, part-time or interim basis.

“Our vision is to be recognized by our clients as an invaluable part of their organization by providing innovative and cost effective financial solutions,” said Josh Hannum, founder of Hannum & Co. “It’s our deep desire that we provide clients with the peace of mind that the financial function of their business is being performed in an exemplary manner. We want to enable them to stay focused on growing and running their businesses without distractions.”

Hannum pointed out that today’s business environment is at alarmingly high risk levels. Therefore, entrepreneurs will benefit tremendously from having an expert to help guide them. “Having access to new ideas, fresh perspectives and laser like execution can be the difference between achieving success and realizing failure,” Hannum said. By utilizing his firm on an on-going weekly basis, clients are provided with a competitive edge with the help of a “right hand man”. This structure is both highly cost effective and relevant in these uncertain economic times.
