Apex Consulting Services Group (Apex) was founded in August of 2007 on three guiding principles:
∙ To provide Large Business professional staff and services at Small Business labor rates
∙ To limit service offerings to only those areas where we clearly surpass the competition in service quality
∙ To establish long-term relationships with clients, built on a foundation of high quality services
The above principles can only be met if we consistently exceed client expectations. We meet this challenge, in all our engagements, through demonstrated performance.
