Our Strategy

Our efforts at Charles Schwab resulted in a dramatic reduction in cost by over $600 million. This was a result of targeted pruning of excess resources in areas where excess capacity existed. 

Our unique approach to build a profit model, identified over $7 million in detailed profit improvement potential at I&K Distributors. Our multi-year turnaround led to a deliver of 42% IRR for investors after I&K was sold to Lipari Foods.

Through the incorporation of our proprietary time-driven activity based costing model at Alberta, our team reallocated resources to proper cost objects to create $1.8mm in annual cost savings.

Using our proprietary profit analyzing software, Acorn helped to eliminate unprofitable SKUs, identify high costs of long changeovers in filing lines and process changes leading to reduced overtime and elimination of a shift with no reduction in productivity.
