Client Testimonials

I ran for county commissioner because I want to see real progress in Montgomery County. For us to be successful in that mission, we need to have the right team in place, including our contracted advisors. The BCS Management team are “go-getters”, they are responsive, proactive and tie the pieces together for us. Highly recommended.

John Frey, Montgomery County Commissioner

I was blessed to meet Lana on an airplane a few years ago. With her managing the development of my proprietary financial products analysis process, we were able to accomplish more in one year than I had in 5 or 6 trying to manage it myself. I look forward to continued success and maintaining our working relationship as we build and grow this concept and vision together.

With BCS leading many of our internal processes we have increased our staff, improved our outreach efforts and added many more customers. BCS has improved the efficiency of our administrative team and has provided a professional presence to many more of our external stakeholders. BCS helps us better serve our community.

Bradley Reinking, Heartwood Group

As a County Commissioner, my goal is to get wins for my district and county. As soon as questions regarding infrastructure (especially sewer and water) came up for our new economic development area, BCS was my only call. They are knowledgeable, professional, and have really gone the extra mile for Grant County. 5 out of 5....I highly recommend.

Ron Stewart, Grant County Commissioner

Serving on the Taylor Regional Sewer Board, my priority is ensuring our community has access to dependable and affordable sewer services. When we faced complex facility and operational challenges in the past, BCS Management came on board with the expertise we needed. They are true professionals who clearly care about the communities they serve. As a result, I highly recommend their team for any municipality or district looking for practical solutions to running a waste water treatment operation.

Larry Hayes, Member, Taylor Regional Sewer Board

As past President of the Grant County Convention and Visitors Bureau, I contacted BCS Management to give our website a much needed modern face. BCS Management delivered a world-class site before I even had time to worry about the timeline. Usually, speed means cutting corners, but the quality here is top tier. They understand that in tourism and local government, timing is everything. They are easily one of the most efficient teams I’ve worked with! I highly recommend BCS Management for your business needs.

Steve Wright, Former President of Grant County Convention and Visitors Bureau and Former Grant County Commissioner

As both a former client and a current Economic Development Advisor for BCS Management, I have a unique understanding of the value that BCS brings to any project. A small or medium-sized municipality barely has the human resources to keep their operations running on a day-to-day basis. If a multi-million dollar infrastructure project comes along, the community rarely has the extra resources and expertise to manage the project to keep it on time and under budget. BCS Management provides the extra resources to manage the project and do the job right, keeping day-to-day operations running smoothly without having to add extra staff.

Jon Myers, President, Myers Family Holdings, LLC

Prior to hiring BCS, the Montgomery County Regional Sewer District lacked the structure to operate efficiently. Since 2019, BCS has organized our day-to-day functions, identified cost savings, and implemented disciplined financial planning. As a result, MCRSD is now operationally cash-positive. I confidently recommend BCS Management to any new sewer district seeking organization and stability.

Dan Guard, Montgomery County Commissioner & President, Montgomery County RSD

In Howard County, we spent months seeking a solution for the Taylor Regional Sewer District. BCS Management's analysis revealed staggering issues, leading the Commissioners to provide emergency funding on one non-negotiable condition: TRSD must hire BCS to oversee operations. We required experts in utility law, planning, IDEM requirements, and financial management. For new districts, I advise prioritizing proper management from the start; BCS is the right partner for making districts sustainable.

Jack Dodd, Howard County Commissioner
