Cost-of-Service Analysis and Rate Design
Analyzing the cost to provide electric, gas, water, wastewater, or broadband services to customers is a complex task. Designing fair and equitable rates can be even more complex.
We use industry best-practices to provide studies that analyze the costs to serve customers and design rates based on your unique operating characteristics and customer mix.
Expert Witness Testimony
We also provide expert witness testimony before regulatory bodies in support of your rate case or on a variety of accounting matters. Whether or not we did the study, we will provide expert insights and an independent opinion.
Accounting and Finance Consulting
There are times you need an outside voice to analyze a complex accounting issue or to assist in projects such as implementing FERC accounting or improving business processes around construction accounting.
We draw on our knowledge of industry best-practices to provide practical solutions for these and other issues. Solutions that you can incorporate right into your processes.
Custom Courses and Training Classes
It can be difficult to find industry specific training for the electric and utilities industry.
We design courses on FERC or construction accounting, construction processes, financial reporting, cost of service and rates, streamlining business processes, or new industry areas, such as ESG or implementing new accounting standards. We'll work with you to design and present a custom workshop at your site that your attendees will use to enhance their industry knowledge and add value to your organization!
