Our services encompass the entire spectrum of municipal finance - from the development of a capital improvement plan to the levy of special assessments.

Uniquely Innovative.

Our unique knowledge of Kansas municipal law, public finance, accounting and engineering allows us to explore innovative financing solutions and provide truly comprehensive advisory services. Our staff includes an attorney who previously served as Assistant General Counsel to the League of Kansas Municipalities (LKM) where he advised hundreds of cities and other municipalities throughout Kansas. He also served as bond counsel and special counsel at a Wichita law firm serving cities and counties throughout the state with the issuance of general obligation and revenue bonds, economic development bonds, leases and other forms of debt financing. We pride ourselves in exploring all options available to our clients – whether an existing statutory method or a unique and innovative solution under a city’s constitutional Home Rule powers.

Cutting-edge methods
of marketing
municipal bonds.

After developing innovative financing plans, we continue with that same philosophy to market our clients’ municipal bonds in order to achieve the lowest interest cost possible. In addition to the more traditional means of marketing bonds, we utilize www.officialstatement.info to provide comprehensive information to potential bond bidders. Our clients’ official statements and bid forms are posted to the website and are available for download.

Effective communication.

Our firm utilizes the latest technology to make the topic of public finance easily understood by all. We are able to put the sometimes complicated process of public finance into an easier-to-understand format.

For-profit businesses and non-profit organizations can also utilize municipal bond financing as a low-cost solution for construction or expansion of land, buildings or equipment. The advantages of tax-exempt bond financings can include fixed interest rates, lower total interest cost than conventional loans, property tax abatements and state sales tax exemption.
