Beaverton, OR - Taking companies to the next
level is the mission of the Synergy Consulting Group, a Beaverton-based group who are
celebrating their one-year anniversary this month. Like most one-year-old companies,
theyre excited about their growth and continue to see opportunities in the business
world to help companies outperform themselves. New clients include Lifegoals.com,
Champion Distributors, Employment Trends, CTR,
Infinity Towers/dba/Medlink, the Northwest Energy Efficiency
Alliance, and several other companies"Our accounting
practices were anything but efficient, " explained Peggy Seratt
from the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance. "It was
time-consuming to get accurate information until Patrick Wheeler from the Synergy
Consulting Group stepped in. He streamlined our processes, assumed a hands-on role with
key employees and kept me up to speed throughout the transition. Now, the Executive
Director is confident and project managers are spending more time on managing the market
transformation programs that promote energy conservation practices throughout the
Northwest."
So, what has one year taught Synergys principals and associates Mark Paul and
Patrick Wheeler?
"Were still focusing on funded start-ups through companies with $50
million in annual revenue. Whats changed is the breadth and depth of the companies
were assisting and the scale and variety of client challenges were addressing.
" explained Mark Paul, Synergy Consulting Group partner. "Our combined expertise
in several functional areas is a powerful combination for companies who need to step it up
to the next level - whether their mission is to grow or evolve into something completely
different - like the companies who are morphing into "dot-com organizations."
"Were not sure if we can help all the companies we encounter,"
explained Patrick Wheeler. "In fact, weve turned down more companies than
weve accepted. Its always a process of discovery for us. In any event, our
clients dont have to foot the bill during the discovery process because we
dont start charging until were sure we can provide very high value."
"Beginning a series of strategic planning meetings was the first step in the
Synergy Consulting Group's path toward taking Employment Trends staffing
services to the next level in our evolution," explained John Boone,
Employment Trends CEO. "They understood the big picture and brought us to the
realization that we needed critical infrastructure improvements including improving our
accounting systems and adding key individuals to our management team. With Synergy's help,
Employment Trends is breaking through to a new level of growth and capabilities."
Employment Trends was recently selected by Inc. magazine as one of the 500
fastest growing companies in the United States..
