Executive Testimonials
"We were very impressed with the work the Nicholas students did for Ford. Their analytical approach was well thought and thorough. They presented themselves in a professional manner and clearly communicated key assumptions, rationale and conclusions. The work they did for us has added to our understanding of affiliate capitalization questions and will be beneficial to our capitalization decision processes."
