Financial Turnaround & Restructuring FAQs

Answers to your most frequently asked questions

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.

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.

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.

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. 

We implement a parallel-track approach that addresses immediate cash and working capital needs while building sustainable improvements. 

Our first phase focuses on critical stabilization measures including cash management, vendor negotiations, and operational efficiencies. Simultaneously, we develop longer-term strategic initiatives targeting core process improvements, organizational restructuring, and growth opportunities to ensure lasting transformation. 

We establish comprehensive communication protocols to maintain transparency with all stakeholder groups including creditors, employees, vendors, and customers. 

Our approach includes regular performance updates, clear milestone tracking, and proactive issue resolution. 

We help management teams develop tailored communication strategies for each stakeholder group while implementing reporting structures that rebuild confidence throughout the transformation process. 

Key metrics cam include things like cash flow performance, working capital efficiency, operational productivity, and customer retention rates. We establish baseline measurements across critical areas and implement enhanced reporting systems to track improvements. This data-driven approach helps maintain accountability and demonstrates tangible progress to stakeholders.

Our approach combines market analysis with operational assessment to identify viable growth opportunities. We focus on strengthening core business performance while evaluating market adjacencies, new customer segments, and product line expansions. This includes optimizing pricing strategies, improving sales effectiveness, and enhancing customer retention programs.

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.
