"Whitney Consulting regularly partners with Mark Wallace to complete Cost Benefit Analyses for our client's grant applications and business cases. Mark has assisted us to secure millions for our clients by demonstrating the economic benefits of the projects. Mark's work has been scrutinised by both Federal and State Government assessors and always deemed to be compliant, with reasonable assumptions and evidence whilst still presenting the best case to secure funding for the project. Mark has experience across a wide range of project areas, including aged care, health, tourism and infrastructure. I would not hesitate to recommend Mark."
