About Gail Trugman-Nikol

Gail Trugman-Nikol has had a unique business background, enjoying three successful careers. She started in advertising – buying radio and TV time, selling TV programs to TV stations, selling spots on TV to ad agencies, and then as General Sales Manager at WMKW-TV in Memphis, TN.

After meeting her husband Peter, who is her best friend, confidant, and support, Gail focused her sights on an industry that was in its infancy – PC training. In 1988 GLTN Computer Consultants was born and Gail grew the company to two offices with 20 staff and 800 clients including NSHS and Adecco. She successfully sold the company in 1997 and stayed in the industry until 2002.

At that time, she worked with companies to improve their processes and then document the processes so that the company could consistently replicate the work, improve quality, safeguard organizational knowledge, and positively affect the company’s bottom line. Seeing the need for these services, in 2005 Gail established Unique Business Solutions, a business consulting firm.

Gail quickly became a trusted advisor to her clients. She provides companies with the satisfaction and security of knowing that key business processes are well understood, documented, and safeguarded from events that could have a damaging impact on the business.

According to Gail, “The cost of losing a key employee is measured not just monetarily, but by the disruption it represents to the business workflow.”
Unique Business Solutions has enjoyed success ever since.

Gail has served as a board member of the Long Island chapter of the Institute of Management Accountants for 11 years and has spoken at its Annual Conferences, to rave reviews from the participants. She has lectured nationally and locally, to various groups including Vistage International, NAWBO, the New York State Society of CPAs (NYSSCPA), and the GFOA. In 2013 she received the Vistage Speaker designation. Gail also is a published writer, with articles in The Journal of Corporate Accounting and Finance, The New York Enterprise Report, and other publications.

In May 2013 Gail was honored with the LI Center for Business Professional Women’s Long Island Achievers Award.

PEOPLE WE’VE HELPED

I appreciate the processes and techniques that you use (e.g., tape recordings, pictures and standards to ensure chapter-to-chapter consistency) when in the development stage, which also help to minimize the time needed on my part.

— Testimonial – The VMC Group

We achieved our original goals for the UBS initiative; however, we received much more than the desired outcome. We found that there was a synergistic effect as Unique Business Solutions reviewed and discussed procedures with our staff. It wasn't one plus one equals two, but a force multiplier of one plus one equals three or more. We found as our staff discussed procedure, they became more enlightened and aware of what they were doing; more importantly, what they weren't doing.

She opened our eyes to some of our vulnerabilities. She did a great job coordinating meetings, meeting deadlines, and adhering to budget constraints.
