When Smart Business Matters™

Welcome to Kathleen McEntee and Associates, Ltd. (KMA). As a business management consulting firm focused on the small to mid-size business and divisions of larger corporations, we provide experience-based knowledge across a wide array of business needs. We collaborate with business owners and C-level executives to provide insights and strategies that maximize efforts and leverage resources. It is our practical approach—When Smart Business Matters™—that helps you take a step back from working ‘in’ your business to working ‘on’ it. We know that when you focus on your business, you direct your success.

As a business leader, the decisions that you make today impact the future of your company. Too often, executives are caught up in the day-to-day operations of their business and do not devote enough time and resources to evaluating the path that will lead to their success. Your company’s success is dependent on your vision. Today’s complex environment requires you to assess yesterday, manage today, and predict tomorrow. Assessing yesterday and managing today are relatively easy. The difficult part is predicting advancements and determining tomorrow’s direction.

In today’s demanding business environment, management success requires multiple skill sets. It is a common best-practices approach to employ a consultant to assess current tactics and resources, strategize growth opportunities, and provide a much-needed objective perspective on critical decisions.

KMA collaborates with you to crystallize your future direction and create a SMART business roadmap to guide success. By identifying goals and objectives, determining what needs to be done, and measuring progress along the way, the plan guides decisions, internal communications, marketing efforts, progress measurements, and the ultimate goal: revenue and profit.

With business management consulting as a foundation, KMA provides a broad scope of consulting and technology resources to help strengthen expertise, relationships, and communications with clients, prospects, and employees—all of whom benefit from the success of the plan. Our SMART approach is practical: Specific, Measurable, Actionable, Realistic, and Time-sensitive. With offices located in Chicago and the Coachella Valley of Southern California and associates located throughout the United States and in Central America, we support clients with in-person consultation and virtual contact.

We start with a complimentary in-person consultation to determine whether KMA is the best solution for your needs. When there is a solid fit, we define the project scope and mutually agree on a timeline. We use our When Smart Business Matters™ process and tools to help you define your vision and outline realistic goals. To build our foundation, we solicit the input of all stakeholders so that our perspective helps you build a business roadmap that will guide your company in the key areas vital to continued growth:

• Vision & Strategy
   
• Marketing & Communications
   
• Sales & Client Management
   
• Finance & Operations
   
• Performance Management & Training

When you retain KMA, you are gaining an experienced collaborator and valuable business advisor. Contact us today to learn how we can help you create and execute the strategy that will define the future of your company.
