Get clear, transparent takeaways from our economic impact analysis

Everything you do relies on a clear and complete understanding of your current revenues and operational commitments.

You've also got an obligation to your constituents to be transparent about where the dollars go.

We don't just present your economic data — we create impact from it by providing context and significance.

We'll build on that with public sector insights, rigorous economic analytics, and data science that reveal trends and insights to provide a foundation for your action based next steps.

Build the financial strength to adapt and respond to change.  

Politics, economics, social trends, technological advances, ecological pressures, and changes in law are constantly affecting your community and constituents.

Our ecomonic impact analysis can find the efficiencies that allow you to do more with what you have.

We combine public sector operations experience with experience developing economic strategies.

That makes Crowe unique in working with your team to develop realistic budgets, forecasts, and action plans that support your communities and constituents' current and future needs.

Create an economic strategy that is transparent, realistic, and effective

Ultimately, your community can only support the economic strategy if they can connect to the costs and benefits.

We'll show you a straightforward path from data to ideas that can be easily understood by stakeholders.

Our specialists work alongside your team, connecting you to frameworks and comprehensive modeling tools that we've developed based on our extensive public sector experiences and insights.

Then we'll help you put together multiyear economic impact analysis presentations and reports that make all the technical information digestible, so you can get buy-in from your constituents.

Set effective rates and fees for public utilities.

It's a constant challenge to deliver rates and fees that are fair and reasonable to your constituents — but also cover the true cost of providing a service.

Crowe has a wealth of experience that delivers insights on operational and technological costs.

We'll benchmark your fee structure with other organizations, and then present credible, objective, third-party documentation you can use to legitimize your costs and fees.

Our economic impact studies can also help you explore other ways of recovering costs.

Need help with project management, fieldwork, quality control reviews, data analysis presentations, and reports? We do that too.

Make the case for how a project positively impacts your community

Are you upgrading infrastructure? Hosting a major event? Launching some other big initiative?

Whatever the project is, at some point you’ll need to be able to demonstrate its positive economic impact.

We'll help you develop a realistic understanding of how a project supports your constituents.

We've developed hundreds of economic impact studies. We'll bring all that experience to build a credible business case for your plans.

We also can provide an objective retrospective review of a past project’s impact.
