General & Administrative areas are typically defined as areas needed for operating a business (rent, salaries, telephone charges, etc.) that are not directly associated with production of goods or services. Sometimes overlooked there are ways to improve the profitability of your firm through review of your G&A items and understanding how others have increased efficiencies or cut costs ... for example many firms use toll free bridges for internal conference calls that can have dozens of callers on for multiple hours. Some firms have eliminated thousands of dollars per year by moving to more online meetings and using toll numbers where the callers are using phones with unlimited long distance in their plan. No one loses except the phone companies. Below is a list of articles related to General & Administrative areas for training and consulting firms.
