Dixon Developmental Institute
After 16 years in business, Dixon & Company created Dixon Development Institute, Inc. (DDI) in 2015 to address the training, back office, infrastructural challenges that small businesses face. DDI is organized and operated exclusively to support the use of sound financial methodologies in public and private entities led by women, people of color and veterans to enable them to achieve their organizational goals and objectives.
DDI focuses on start-ups and entities in the first five years of existence that are the most fragile. These organizations especially need financial structures, procedures, internal controls, training and technical assistance to become successful and sustainable. The DDI also provides financial management training to new and experienced executives and their staff and Board of Directors based on the development, understanding and management of accounting systems and processes. DDI is particularly focused on business management and risk management.
We support economic and personal development by supporting small business and non-profits.
