Since 1993 we have serviced the New York Special Education industry. As consultants we have
developed financial models that inform preschool providers if they are
achieving optimal rate performance and help them to maximize their
program profitability.
Cost Reconciliation can be a scary word in
this industry and too many providers have experienced the unfortunate
outcome of overspending in certain programs and hitting a state
mandated cost screen or Underspending and seen their rates drop below acceptable levels.
Hitting these cost screens means
that funds expended on providing special education services are lost
and rate drops can severely impact future funding.
Working closely with the provider
we can
project and predict if hitting a cost screen is possible (or likely) and recommend
possible changes to avoid or lessen the amount of the screen. Remember a cost screen is a loss to the agency. We also help providers identify opportunities for profit in Early
Intervention services and other programs where a certain profit is allowed by
state agencies.
Because
of our extensive experience in this industry we can help schools
establish specialized accounting systems for tracking enrollments,
units of service and grant funding. We will work closely with the
school's management and accounting department in developing policies and procedures that help to
ensure the viability of all programs operated.
Working
as a partner with your agency and an intermediary between your accounting department and your auditors
we help providers achieve significant cost savings in Consolidated
Fiscal Reporting, Rate Reconcilation and the preparation of annual tax returns.
If
you are a New York Preschool Special Education provider serving Early
Intervention (0-2), Preschool (3-5) or School Aged (6-21) populations
