How can ARK Consulting Partners, LLC help accomplish your goals?
Our Services
-
Software Implementation
With nearly 12 years of hands-on implementation experience, we know the pros/cons of each setup approach and make recommendations so you can access the data you need in the most convenient way. If your software vendor isn’t asking you about reporting needs before the implementation begins, you need a better partner.
-
Software Regression Testing (Upgrade Testing)
With over 15 years of software experience, ARK knows how to run an upgrade project. Following our upgrade playbook, we can work with your software vendors to help prioritize issues. Having led with several upgrade projects, we are intimately familiar with how some companies perform annual upgrades. You’ll want a partner who knows what to look for, how to test, and how to make auditors happy.
-

Midstream Accounting Expertise
Need guidance on industry standards, best practices, or validating results. Let’s talk about how we can help your team prevent Prior Period Adjustments (PPAs), analyze contract margins, build reports and desk procedures, and provide answers to give confidence with each monthly closing.
-
Project Management
Management without feeling like a cumbersome checklist. Get honest project tracking with accurate metrics important to your team. No unnecessary meetings. ARK focuses on open communication, status reporting, managing budget and risks, keeping things on track, and staying focused on the critical path. Tell us how we can help with program and project management to meet your needs.
-
Data Conversion and Variance Analysis
You don’t have to know all the Excel functions to standardize data and reduce clutter. We’ll help build templates to ensure accuracy and verify results. Come see what more than a decade of experience with variance analysis can do for your team.
-
Change Management
Our goal around change management is to overcome the familiar quote: “This is the way we’ve always done it”. Change can be hard. But it doesn’t have to be.
ARK Consulting Partners has experience in helping users navigate change, creating and selling ideas that exceed cross-departmental goals, and documenting processes before/after life-changing recommendations.
-
Software Selection
After working on the vendor side of Software as a Service (SaaS) for over a decade, we know how to help identify the pros/cons and help your team decide what is best to exceed your company’s goals. This is more than just a checklist and scorecard. We’ll help guide you (without bias) to find your next software partner.

Other Services
We recognize that people and companies do not fit into boxes or packaged offerings. Let us build a custom plan to help you.
