Financial Accounting and Post-Program Management

Corporate event planning demands striking a careful balance between budget constraints and creating an experience for attendees to remember. Whether it's a company meeting, convention or incentive travel for employees, navigating this tightrope with expertise can make or break the event.

Determining how best to allocate budgeted funds and how to track expenses within the set confines is no easy task. This is especially so when required services must also meet certain corporate expectations. Getting the job done right and making sure the budget and the event do not suffer requires experience and expertise.

At Peak Performance it is our job to remove the hassles and pressure of financial accounting and post program management. With more than 25 years experience in the industry of corporate event planning and employee incentives programs, we specialize in creating productions to remember that do not break the budget.

Peak Performance's team of professionals is skilled in managing the behind-the-scenes details that matter so much to event outcome. From initial planning and on-site management down to the nuts and bolts of budgeting, our professionals do the work so our clients can simply enjoy their own events.

When Peak Performance oversees financial accounting and post program management, clients benefit from our expertise in:

• Budget preparation and cost containment - Peak Performance's specialists work directly with clients to create realistic event budgets and establish guidelines to keep employee recognition program and meeting costs within the stated confines. We do this while balancing the need for special events to be truly special.


• Expense tracking and vendor invoice review - Our service includes tracking all expenses and invoices before, during and after an event. This is critical for ensuring that posted charges are accurate and fit within contract agreements with venues and vendors. It is also essential for maintaining final expenses within the targeted budget. Invoice review and expense tracking also prevents oversights from costing clients more, such as double billing.


• Final billing and expense analysis - Having professional oversight in this arena can help contain expenses for the current event while providing ideas for other upcoming occasions. In addition, it is crucial for providing a breakdown of budget items so companies can account for every penny spent in hosting an event.


• Master account billing management and review - Peak Performance's professionals are able to oversee all aspects of billing management to make hosting events seamless.


• Post-program evaluation preparation - Once large events are finalized, an evaluation is an extremely useful tool for clients to use to help plan subsequent events.


• Survey/evaluation analysis - Understanding what attendees enjoyed and perhaps what they didn't can prove very helpful in future event planning for a similar group. Future employee incentive programs and other corporate events can only benefit from frank input from attendees.

Corporate event planning requires a great deal of behind-the-scenes work. When Peak Performance takes charge, clients benefit from hassle-free financial accounting and post program management services that provide accountability every step of the way.
