This is our computer consulting firm, which originally included the companies below.
"Robert and I have known each other via professional associations, joint RFP response preparation, and by doing business together for ten years. I've found Robert flexible, knowledgeable, and professional to work with, and I would do so again." - Darrel Raynor"Robert provided my first contract, a conversion project at H&S Mfg. We worked on the contract together. Robert took the time to ensure that I had a good understanding of consulting practices and the RMPCP setup. A few years later, he placed me on a contract with Occidental Chemical. I enjoyed both of these contracts (financially and professionally) and I look forward to working with Robert again." - Richard Threat
This is the part of our payment service that deals most directly with client companies. Since our marketing to outside clients is still new, see below for how it's perceived by personnel.

"I am a software engineer with 8+ years of experience, 4+ of them as an independent contractor. I find Robert's services from RMPCP invaluable; my only regret is that I didn't use them sooner. I highly recommend RMPCP as umbrella to all contractors out there." - Gregory Golberg"I just found out that all of my RMPDP income is exempt from the City of Pittsburgh's 3% Earned Income Tax, leaving me with a 2004 local tax liability of $13. This means that working through you from Pittsburgh costs less than nothing. Yet another reason I'm so happy with your setup!" - Nathan Lutchansky
"Robert found excellent group benefits & has been easy and reliable to deal with!" - Bob Laurent
"I have worked with RMPCP on several contracts. I have found that I end up with more money and the client pays less when I work thru the RMPCP umbrella service. Robert is professional in his approach and is very open to suggestions for improvements. I recommend his service." - Richard Threat"I don't know anyone who didn't get what they expected from your offerings - if I hadn't already incorporated, I probably would've used your service." - from a former member of the ICCA Benefits Committee who later said he'd be happy to join us as a corporate member.
"I switched from [another popular umbrella] to RMPCP because they're more flexible." - another ICCA member
"I would very much like to work together again. I had a great time working through RMP for Andrew. It's a great concept, and I enjoy independence IMMENSELY! I am pounding the sites and scanning the REQS groups twice daily. As soon as something comes along I'd be glad to run it through you guys." - another first-time contractor
"I'll admit, I was a bit nervous when [the client] studied your contract [changes], but he was nodding and saying how smart you are. A real relief. ... All this time I wasn't quite sure what benefits your company had to offer, but I'm starting to be glad I included you in on this." - another ICCA member starting a new contract
Here's what one of our consultants wrote about our handling of per diems compared to other firms: "Wow, that sounds really great... better than anything I expected. I'm glad you care enough to always seek ways to improve the way you do business. By the way, if there's anything I can do to help out the company, please let me know."
Here's a longer quote from one of our consultants describing our services to an applicant.
"I take it that you're considering becoming aligned with RMPCP.
I can tell you right up front that it's been an excellent relationship for me, particularly with regard to financial management of my income. Naturally, we all want to maximize our income, and MINimize our tax liabilities. And that has been the prime reason that upon getting a new contract, I do everything possible to utilize Robert's services. I've come to the realization that if I don't, I'll end up biting a much too large financial bullet.
If you're hoping that RMPCP will provide a wealth of new work for you, you'll be disappointed. That's one of the things that Robert is striving to improve upon but for now, the biggest benefit is the structure that he provides.
The other thing that I'd like to point out is that Robert is very aggressive. That's come to light during a number of instances when a client was balky about payment, when a consulting company was less than forthright about contractual matters, and even when he strives to improve the services and benefits associated with his organization.
In this business, it seems, aggressive is good. I don't have time to do these things; I'm delighted that Robert does."
