RCS

Revenue & Cost Specialists

RCS Believes that developing proper cost allocation plan and user fee reports require more complex calculation and details than what standard spreadsheet and word processing software can offer. RCS developed and is using our own software that is both user-friendly and comprehensive. It includes a logical, easy-to-use interface and produces easy-to-understand reports. RCS was founded by two former City Managers (Doug Ayres & Lee Weber) and a former Finance Director (Rick Kermer), to address the fiscal challenges from the adoption of Propositions 13 & 4. Our founding partners knew that reduced tax revenues would reduce or eliminate tax subsidies to fee services. Therefore, the financial health of cities required that they know the cost of their services. Forty years later, Revenue & Cost Specialists continue to focus on cost allocation and service cost calculations. We can help you balance your budget by identifying new revenue sources and potential cost savings.
