Fixed Asset Consultant | Fixed Asset Consulting, Assessments & Transformation

FIXED ASSET LIFECYCLE INTELLIGENCE™

Your fixed assets are telling you something. There are twelve places to listen.

A register is the output of an entire operating environment — people, decisions, handoffs, systems, habits, and one heroic spreadsheet nobody talks about. So when the numbers start misbehaving, the cause is almost never where the symptom showed up. Reconciliation trouble usually began upstream in projects. A data complaint is often a governance question. A software headache turns out to be configuration, training or process wearing a very convincing software costume.

Looking at all twelve at once is the entire trick — and honestly, it is the most satisfying part of this work.

Governance & ownership

Who decides, and where authority actually sits.

Policy

Thresholds, lives and definitions — written, current, applied.

Process & handoffs

The seams between Projects, AP, Accounting and Operations.

People & capability

Whether the team has the depth and time this demands.

Data & lineage

What each field means, and whether it can be trusted.

Systems & integrations

Configuration, interfaces, and the manual steps holding them together.

Controls

Whether errors get prevented or just discovered later.

Security & access

Who can change what, versus who should be able to.

Reporting

Whether leadership gets consistent answers to consistent questions.

Documentation

What is written down, how current it is, whether anyone uses it.

Knowledge dependency

How much of this lives in one person's head.

Risk & performance

Exposure, consequence, and where effort actually pays off.

We look across the whole lifecycle to establish what is genuinely happening, why it matters, and what deserves your attention first — then we talk about fixing anything.

FLAGSHIP ENGAGEMENT

Fixed Asset Health Assessment

Diagnose before you treat. Every doctor knows it; somehow software projects forget it.

The assessment examines your lifecycle across all twelve dimensions and turns what it finds into something genuinely useful: current state, root causes, real risk, and a sequence for what to do first. Findings written to be acted on — never filed, never softened into mush.

WHAT LEADERSHIP RECEIVES

Current-state health and maturity view
Material findings and supporting evidence
Root-cause themes
Risk and consequence prioritization
Quick wins and a sequenced roadmap

INVESTMENT

Assessments average around $25,000

Scope moves that number: how many entities and locations are in play, how many systems hold the data, and how many asset classes and lifecycle stages are in scope. Enterprise environments are scoped after a conversation.

WHY FIXED ASSET CONSULTANT

Twenty-seven years in, and still genuinely obsessed.

I am not a CPA, and I am not going to talk to you like one. I am someone who has spent a career inside fixed asset systems, data, capital projects, implementations and reporting — the messy operational middle where this work actually lives. What you get is not a generic consulting framework with fixed assets bolted on. It is deep specialty applied to your entire environment.

And it belongs to a firm now, not just to me. The methodology, the assessment structure and the delivery model are built to be repeatable, documented and handed to your team — because a client who becomes dependent on their consultant has bought the wrong thing.

ENGAGEMENT EXAMPLE

A CIP mystery that turned out to be a handoff nobody owned.

A healthcare system with 275+ facilities arrived convinced they had a CIP reconciliation and reporting issue. The real answer sat upstream and it was almost charmingly simple: nobody agreed on what "finished" meant, and no human being owned the handoff into the asset register. Five months later they had a centralized, controlled, audit-ready CIP framework — and that handoff had a name attached to it.

SOFTWARE & SYSTEMS
