Sum2: Sound Practice Thought Leader

For the past three years Sum2 has used the occasion of the Great Falls Festival to announce a new product or market initiative.  Last year Sum2 unveiled The Hamilton Plan.

Sum2’s announcement of the Hamilton Plan is in response to the compounding economic and political crisis that is confronting the United States. The credit and energy crisis, inflation pressures, trade deficits, geo-political instabilities, global warming and ecological degradation are the result of long term systemic problems that government and industry has failed to address effectively.

Sum2 put forth a 10 Point Program that squarely addresses these pressing issues.  The previous year Sum2 announced the SMB|360° product series which has grown to include the Profit|Optimizer, IRS Audit Risk Program and the Macroeconomic Risk Assessment program.

The Profit|Optimizer is a qualitative risk assessment and opportunity discover tool. It assists SME’s to identify and score business vulnerabilities and opportunities. The Profit|Optimizer conducts over 200 assessments encompassing products and markets, business functions and critical success factors. The Profit|Optimizer aggregates risk assessment scores and presents action items on a series of dashboards that enable managers to decide what initiatives mitigate the greatest risk and produce the greatest return.  The Profit|Optimizer demonstrates to shareholders, bankers and other stakeholders that company management are effective risk managers and are committed to corporate governance excellence.

Sum2 offers a series of products and services to help SME’s effectively manage risk, improve stakeholder communication, implement effective corporate governance that create sustainable business practices to assure long term profitability and growth.

Sum2 also offers the award winning PACO™ (Patriot Act Compliance Officer). PACO™ helps financial services companies comply with the anti-money laundering provision of the Patriot Act.
