Financial Turnaround & Restructuring FAQs
Answers to your most frequently asked questions.
How is 8020's Consulting model different from other firms?
Unlike traditional firms that rely on junior teams or contractors, we embed highly experienced operators directly onto your team.
Our consultants are chosen from the top 10% of the market and are our full-time employees who combine deep technical expertise with hands-on operational experience, averaging 20+ years in the field.
This means you get the perfectly chosen expert for your specific needs, who operates as an extension of your team, drives immediate results, and elevates your entire finance operation through their proven methodologies and industry knowledge.
What makes your consultants different from other firms' consultants?
We exclusively hire senior finance professionals who have both led and executed complex financial operations in many real-world scenarios.
Each consultant must demonstrate exceptional technical expertise, strategic thinking, and a proven track record of success across challenging business environments.
Our consultants have actually "sat in the seat" - meaning they've held senior finance positions and truly understand the day-to-day challenges of running finance operations. This combination of technical knowledge and practical experience matched to your specific challenges enables them to deliver superior results.
How do you match consultants to specific client needs?
Our leadership & Client Services teams are made up of experienced finance and accounting consultants themselves, so they actually viscerally understand what your challenges are and who's best suited on our team to solve them.
We also use a precise diagnostic approach to match the right expert to your specific challenges by carefully evaluating project requirements, industry context, and technical needs to deploy consultants with directly relevant experience.
Our very selective hiring process maintains a diverse pool of specialists across many finance disciplines, ensuring we can address any financial challenge with the exact expertise needed. While out on a project, each of our consultants can leverage the collective knowledge & experience of all ~100 experts on the team whenever needed.
This strategic matching process, refined over years of successful engagements, maximizes project success and client satisfaction.
What are the key indicators that signal a need for turnaround services?
Early warning signs include declining cash flow, deteriorating working capital, covenant breaches, and strained vendor relationships.
Internal indicators often include delayed financial statements and reporting, increasing customer attrition, and declining operational efficiency metrics.
We help organizations identify these signs early to maximize recovery options and preserve enterprise value during transformation.
How do you balance short-term stability with long-term transformation goals?
A parallel-track approach balances stability and transformation. Short-term efforts focus on cash management, vendor negotiations, and efficiency gains, while long-term goals address core process improvements, restructuring, and growth strategies to ensure sustainable recovery.
What is your approach to stakeholder management during restructuring?
Effective stakeholder management during restructuring involves transparent communication, milestone tracking, and tailored messaging for creditors, employees, vendors, and customers.
Reporting structures are established to build trust and demonstrate progress.
What operational metrics do you use to track turnaround progress?
Operational metrics for tracking turnaround progress include cash flow, working capital efficiency, productivity levels, and customer retention.
Baseline measurements and enhanced reporting systems help quantify improvements and maintain accountability.
How do you help identify and capture new growth opportunities during restructuring?
Growth opportunities during restructuring are identified through market analysis and operational assessments.
Strategies may include targeting adjacent markets, launching new products, optimizing pricing, and improving sales effectiveness and retention programs.
How do you determine the optimal timeline for a turnaround engagement?
Each timeline is tailored based on the organization's specific challenges, cash constraints, and operational complexity. We focus on balancing urgent stabilization needs with implementing lasting operational improvements. Regular assessment points ensure the plan adapts to changing conditions while maintaining stakeholder alignment throughout the process.
