Our Mission
CAE stands for Capital Allocation Enhancement. Capital allocation is a firm's most important task. If done properly, trust is reinforced up and down the organization, maximizing value for all stakeholders. At CAE Consulting, LLC, our goal is to provide employees with the tools necessary to apply a "financial mindset" to business problems, ensure confidence in employees' ability to use and analyze data, and foster a culture of continuous improvement. In doing so, we ensure that trust is reinforced throughout the organization and that the firm's capital is not misallocated but rather utilized to enhance the strategic and financial outcomes of senior leaders.
