What our clients have to say:

“Executive Financial Management Bootcamp^SM ... Good course. Covered issues of high impact that CFOs, General Managers and Dealers would find beneficial. It was filled with great information and ideas to take back and implement and helped me recognize some issues that we need to get our hands around. After having attended, I expect to see improved structure, controls and bottom line performance.”

“One of the biggest problems (and concerns) I have as a CFO is not having “all the bases” covered because there are too many bases and not enough time. The Executive Financial Management session was a perfect place to create a checklist and be able to step back and review priorities. Dynamic course, well constructed agenda and content. Overall, a great help in getting me to the next level.”

“I went to the Executive Financial Management Bootcamp^SM in San Diego in November of this year. It was a fabulous learning experience. Not only did I get great tools from the moderators, the participants were all so involved that we were able to share and exchange ideas. It was a great bonding experience and I really thank Wayne Fortier and Scott Norman for the opportunity to participate in this great event.”

“I recently attended the Executive Financial Management Bootcamp^SM that was put on by Wayne Fortier and Scott Norman. It was more than I anticipated and I have come back to the dealership group with a list of things to do and things to investigate and review. Great three days, great content and glad I went.”

“I recently attended an ‘Executive Financial Management Bootcamp^SM’ hosted by Wayne Fortier of Dixon Hughes and Scott Norman of NCM Associates, Inc. and am pleased to tell you that I came away with a new focus on doing my job. My ‘Twenty Group’ meetings provide me with much good information, however they have not invoked in me a desire to re-evaluate my professionalism in all that I do. I came back to the dealership with a desire to improve myself, to raise my awareness and maturity concerning all that I do and all that I should and could be doing. The Bootcamp helped me to recognize that I needed to make immediate changes. I have instituted changes in my daily routines that will benefit not only the dealership but myself and those closely around me. The Bootcamp had a lot to offer, many discussion topics and many people to provide their application of ‘best practices’ in use in the dealership. I would definitely recommend to anyone who has the desire to improve, attend any seminar that is hosted by either or both Wayne and Scott.”
