About Allamanda Consulting
We find and help deliver profit improvements for owner-run businesses in Southwest Florida.

What we stand for
More profit from the business you already have, found by measurement.
- Measurement, not opinion
- Every score and every dollar value traces to one of your own records. A missing record is a finding too.
- Ranges, not promises
- Every opportunity is shown as a low, base and high value, with its assumptions. We do not promise an outcome.
- Respect for what you built
- We work with businesses that are already doing well. We look for the profit a good business is already capable of. A score describes a checkpoint, never the owner or the staff.
- Plain English
- Short sentences and real numbers, in the words your business already uses.
- We stay to help deliver
- The audit ends with a 90-day roadmap. If you want us alongside while you run it, we stay.

Our standards
What we hold to on every engagement.
- Fixed fee
- The fee for a Profit Audit is fixed and written into the proposal before any work starts. [From $5,000: draft price, to be confirmed] It does not change with what we find. At the week-one checkpoint either side may stop, and we refund all but the cost of the records review. How the fee works
- No promised results
- We describe what we examine and how we work. Every opportunity is a low, base and high value with its assumptions shown, graded by the strength of its evidence. We do not promise an outcome. On the first call we tell you whether an audit looks worth commissioning, and why.
- Confidentiality
- We sign a mutual confidentiality agreement before we see any records. What you show us is used for your audit and for nothing else. We do not name clients without their written permission.
- Data handling
- We ask for read-only access or exported reports, and never for bank logins or passwords. Payroll and customer exports can leave out names: we need roles, hours and amounts. We do not accept protected health information, Social Security numbers or full card numbers. Files travel through a secure link, not as email attachments. [File transfer tool: to be confirmed] When the work ends we delete or return your records on the schedule in our data-handling policy, and you can ask us to delete them sooner. [Retention period: to be confirmed] You receive the policy before any fee is paid.
- What we are not
- We are a management consulting firm, not a CPA firm or a law firm. The Profit Audit is a management consulting review, not an audit of financial statements, and gives no assurance on financial information. We do not advise on insurance placement, wage and hour law or business valuation.
Before any fee is paid
We name no one on this site, so we earn trust in private. You receive all of this before you pay anything.
- An introduction to the consultant who would lead your audit, on the first call.
- A proposal that sets out that person's background, the scope, the fixed fee and the dates.
- A mutual confidentiality agreement and our client data-handling policy.
- The records list, with the hours it should take your office to pull.
- Our certificate of insurance. [Insurance: shown here once cover is in place]
Where we fit
An owner has good options already. Here is how we differ from each.
- Free mentoring and the Small Business Development Center
- They advise. We measure, and we help deliver.
- Your CPA
- Your CPA reports what happened. We look for what could. Anything that touches your CPA's work, we check with them first.
- Peer boards and coaches
- They help you think. We do the analysis.
- Contingency cost-reduction firms
- They review supplier bills. We review the whole business.
- Fractional executives
- They run one function month to month. We find where the money is first.

- Software
- Allamanda also builds software. That is why one of the 30 checkpoints covers software, automation and AI, and why we can build a small tool when no off-the-shelf one fits.

- Allamanda is the golden trumpet, a golden-flowered vine grown across South Florida.
