Tatum/Roulston Report

Tatum's survey is unparalleled in the ability to capture consistent opinions from Tatum's nearly 1,000 executives across the nation who act as CFOs, Controllers and CIOs in a broad base of industries across the country.

Tatum is a nationwide firm specializing in the providing financial and information technology services and executive fulfillment to companies across the country. For the past seven years Tatum's monthly Survey of Business Conditions has provided useful insight regarding business conditions. Roulston Research has partnered with Tatum LLC to produce abstracts of the business outlook from data collected by Tatum. In the Tatum/Roulston Report, Roulston Research believes most surveys, for example, do not identify a broad spectrum in volume of respondents, regionalism, company size or consistent respondents. In addition government results are usually reported 30-60 days after measurement period before revisions are made 30 days later. Most surveys’ conclusions are thus old news, but more importantly have not had a predictive result on earnings trends. The Tatum/ Roulston Report is not constructed with these issues that may distort or delay results. Instead, it is timely and immediate, with a consistent survey constituency of professionals primarily operating in high levels in the financial and technology departments of companies where the rubber meets the road. This joint effort with Tatum is a unique partnership that will provide a differentiated view of business trends - The Tatum/ Roulston Report.
