Firm: Baker Tilly Product: In-house architected solutions using Microsoft Power BI, Tableau and Qlik. Background: Top 100 Firm Baker Tilly acquired data analytics firm Talavant in March 2020 and folded it into its digital practice. Dave DuVarney, who now serves as a principal at the firm, formerly was president of Talavant, which he co-founded. Selection: Typically, when a client seeks out Baker Tilly’s analytics services, they are prompted by one of two factors: general lack of visibility into their data, or the need to get data insights on a frequent basis. Especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, DuVarney said, companies need to see their financials in real time instead of 10 days after close. DuVarney explained that there is a maturity cycle that organizations tend to go through in their analytical journey. They will often start out using Microsoft Excel and doing report-based analytics, which is slow and doesn’t offer a lot of detail. Then they may move to quicker operational…

The decision was made by JMP management that a certain critical development in the overall project will be subcontracted-out to a vendor.  JMP has issued a six-month cost plus fixed fee contract for that development, and you are the vendor's project manager. The approved JMP budget for your development is $500,000.   A recent Earned Value Analysis that your firm (the vendor) has done shows that you will complete the project four weeks ahead of time, thus depriving your firm of $80,000 of billable time. Among your options are: 1.  Since it was the approved budget, go ahead and bill JMP for the entire $500.000. 2.  Inform JMP of the project status and completion date, and ask if they'd like to add any features to account for the monies spent. 3.  Inform JMP of the project status and completion date. 4.  Bill JMP for the $500,000 by adding more work at the end of the project.
