We take great pride in building enduring relationships with our clients that bring them opportunity, success, and peace of mind. We understand that our clients look to us to provide a level of leadership and trust that will help them make good decisions for their customers, their communities, and their families.

Johnson Consulting provide tremendous value as funeral home consultants. Our six location firm has benefited from their insight and coaching. We recently participated in their Leadership Management program in Scottsdale. It was well organized and had fabulous insight provided by Vince, Derrick and Nelson.

Had to give Vince and Johnson Consulting a shoutout thank you again for the invaluable experience in Scottsdale with Dave Shank last March and May. Had to give credit where it’s due and hope to send some of my staff to see you in the future.

Hope all is well with you, sir. Thanks again for a meaningful experience last year!

Before the Incentive Compensation Plan (ICP), our company’s bonus payouts lacked consistency and transparency. I primarily decided on them based on what I considered a good quarter or year. However, with the ICP in place, it has eliminated any confusion among employees regarding the timing and eligibility for bonuses. Additionally, it has positively impacted our survey response rate, as the funeral directors now understand that a specific response threshold must be met for bonuses to be awarded.

The ICP is a vital tool that ensures bonuses align with company performance goals while remaining fair and attainable for employees. Once we’ve set the annual budget, my involvement is minimal until we receive the quarterly reports. These reports are invaluable for our quarterly reviews and decision making.

I highly recommend Johnson Consulting’s Incentive Compensation Plan. It has revolutionized our bonus approach, making it more meaningful and aligned with our company’s success. The customization, ease of management, and insightful reports make it an excellent choice for improving compensation structures.

We have been with JCG for about four years. As we have expanded and grown we hired our own CFO and separated from JCG. After four months we realized we had made a mistake. I called JCG and explained what had happened and asked if they could help us out. Of course they did and with in four weeks they had everything caught back up for us. They have been terrific. Nelson and Niccole have been the biggest help to us, but I know there is a whole team working behind the scenes to keep us going.

Vince and Nelson did an outstanding job of facilitating the steering committee meeting. They treated our business as if it were their own. Their thoughtful input, suggestions, and comments were always very insightful and helpful. Please relay to them my heartfelt gratitude for their passion and dedication of making our operations and business the best. We look forward to implementing what we went over and becoming a better funeral service organization.

We turned to JCG for their expertise and guidance to help us transition the business which was the heart and soul of who we are…and left with so much more. We consider Karen a dear friend and are blessed to have had her leadership as we moved from ownership to retirement. We often remark that without Johnson’s support, we would still be mired in the process of finding the right successor owner for our business. Trusting JCG to navigate the way was, hands down, the best decision for our family.

Once we made up our mind to sell, Johnson’s were quick to market it and bring some favorable offers to the table. We appreciated Jake & Brian’s expertise in the transition and completion of the sale.

To the Johnson’s and staff at Johnson Consulting, thank you so much. Throughout the process beginning with evaluation to closing you were there for me. Your industry expertise, connections with qualified buyers and your negotiating skills all proved invaluable in attaining a satisfying outcome both for me and the buyer. I would highly recommend your services and wish you all the best of luck into the future.

Johnson Consulting Group’s disciplined and structured processes resulted in several very serious offers and maximized the value we received…Tom and Jake were sincere in wanting to help me reach a decision, whatever it might be. Tom made me realize he was more than a broker, he was a trusted advisor and friend, with my best interests at heart. JCG helped secure my family’s future and we are forever grateful.

We sold our small funeral home on January 11, 2018. Karen McCurdy (Johnson Consulting Group) was the primary person we worked with. Karen was instrumental in helping us get our business sold!
From the beginning, Karen guided us step by step thru this process. Karen listened and advised us every step of the way.

The importance of shared values

In David Rabenhorst’s words, it was very important for him to work with someone who shared his core values, and would at all times have his best interests at heart. We’ve taken great pride in always being there for David, and for guiding him through the sale of his funeral home business. It’s the kind of trust we strive to earn from all of our clients.

A partnership among friends

Rick Allnutt discusses his 20-year relationship with Johnson Consulting and how it evolved into a genuine friendship over that time. When Rick decided it was time to sell his funeral home business, he knew he could rely on our “honesty, knowledge, and experience” to ensure that the buyer checked all the boxes for Rick and his family.

We cover a lot of ground so you don’t have to

It’s been a pleasure to work with Brad and Trish Hansen. Through the years, we’ve provided support in various facets of their funeral home business. The Hansens have relied heavily on our Management Services and Performance Tracker software to help them operate more strategically while managing their continuous growth.

There for you from start to finish

Laurens Fish first turned to Johnson Consulting for help with his funeral home’s accounting needs. When Laurens decided to sell his business a few years later, he knew that he could rely on our expertise to guide him and his partners through the complex process. This “start to finish” approach is central to everything we do for our clients.

To operate a business you need the numbers

Tom Starks of Starks Family Funeral Homes & Cremation Services shares how JCG took his business’s financial operations to the next level. This included preparing his children to take over the family business as part of a comprehensive succession plan. For us, that was all part of a relationship based on friendship and trust.

We appreciate your sensitivity and understanding in regards to the difficult decisions we faced in choosing a successor to continue our family legacy.

When we decided to take the next step for our business, there was only one company we considered to help us, Johnson Consulting. We have known the Johnson family for years and our respect and trust for them runs deep. Their team was excellent at keeping everything on track through closing and we greatly appreciate their expertise throughout.

Without question, I highly recommend the Johnson Consulting group and will always appreciate the initial help to get started from Tom Johnson.  In addition, Jake Johnson, Karen McCurdy, Simon Wong and especially David Adams all contributed to a smooth process. David Adams led the team that got us through the finish line.
