Mark Rosenman, Director of Knowledge Management for Tatum LLC, said, “We chose JIAN’s BizPlanBuilder financial model because it provides a consistent and proven platform upon which each of our professionals can provide advanced financial modeling for our clients.”
Jian has created a customized version of BizPlanBuilder that Tatum will brand as Value Accelerator. It will be customized to meet the needs of Tatum clients,.
The financial model is already hard at work for Tatum consultants. “I stayed up until 3am one morning trying to fix a client’s spreadsheet. Now it’s easier to insert their numbers into our model and produce a better overall projection,” said Nancy Parrillo, a Tatum partner in the New England practice.
According to the Small Business Administration, more than 850,000 new businesses are started each year, but about 90,000 fail. “That’s a dramatic improvement over several years ago, but it shows the importance of a good business planning tool.” said Franklin. He adds, “With BizPlanBuilder as Tatum’s ‘Value Accelerator,’ Tatum professionals can help business owners plan and manage a comprehensive budget tailored precisely to their businesses and suitable for institutional investors or lenders.”
JIAN’s software is different from those of their competitors because it takes full advantage of Microsoft Office, includes usable text templates written by industry professionals. It now assists Tatum’s financial experts in 37 offices nationwide.
