Gila Practices What It Preaches

AUSTIN, Texas --(Business Wire)--

Gila LLC is pleased to announce it has successfully completed a financial fitness program, exclusively for its own employees. In partnership with A+ Federal Credit Union and Financial Fitness Greater Austin (FFGA), Gila offered employees a program designed to assist them with strengthening their own personal financial fitness.

"We spend our days counseling our Clients on personal finance and fiscal responsibility. We wanted to spend some time bringing that message home to help our employees strengthen their financial positions. Just like any exercise, personal finance needs to be monitored and worked to see any improvements," said Bruce Cummings, Chief Executive Officer of Gila. Gila specializes in revenue cycle management nationwide.

The Company invited all employees to participate and offered incentive prizes for winning contests within the program. Employees had to complete several requirements including a personal budget analysis and attending several training courses on topics concerning personal finance. They also had to write essays on how the program helped them or enabled them to help others with financial fitness.

"Gila's core purpose is to use our experience to service our Clients and help them reduce their debt. This often involves taking debtors through a personal finance analysis to help them resolve outstanding obligations as soon as possible. Living out this mission includes practicing what we preach. We took an opportunity to help our employees strengthen their personal finance skills, better equipping them for their own futures," ummings added.
