As our clients’ interim chief financial officer, our turnaround service is a process dedicated to corporate renewal. It uses analysis and planning to save troubled companies and returns them to solvency, and to identify the reasons for failing performance in the market, and rectify them.

Our turnaround management involves management review, root failure causes analysis, and SWOT analysis to determine why the company is failing. Once the analysis is completed, a long-term strategic plan and restructuring plan is created. These plans may or may not involve a bankruptcy filing. Once approved, we begin to implement the plan, continually reviewing its progress and make changes to the plan as needed to ensure the company returns to solvency.

Our team of advisors are professional services firms (such as lawyers and insolvency practitioners) to have access to a full range of services that are typically needed in a turnaround process.

Our merger and acquisition services assist our clients when two companies together are more valuable than two separate companies. When we have identified that our the client is more competitive, becomes a more cost-efficient company and creates more shareholder value, we may advise buying the other company, albeit as a merger or an outright acquisition.

The synergies created by joining both companies are the force that allows for enhanced cost efficiencies of the new business and a reason to justify the transaction. Synergy takes the form of revenue enhancement and costs savings.

As our clients’ interim chief financial officer, we advise our clients to identify the prospective targeted company, initiate negotiations, layout the new proposed financial structure, identify the appropriate financial facility to fund the merger or acquisition, finalize negotiations to close the deal, and during the post-merger or acquisition process we help to integrate the union with staff reductions, identify and implement them economies of scale, fund and acquire new technology, and help them with improved market reach and visibility.

There is going to come a time when someone retires, leaves, or perhaps passes away. If you do not have a plan, you are setting your business up for failure. It is estimated that less than a third of family businesses survive the transition from first generation ownership to second generation ownership. Sometimes this is due to the family not having an interest in running the business, but in most cases, it is due to the lack of creating a plan. A succession plan is necessary to ensure the business lives on from generation to generation.

Our succession planning services help our clients define the goals of the company and make sure everyone is on the same page. We outline each family employee’s role and responsibilities and hold them accountable. We help them keep an open line of communication at all times.

Be prepared and ask us to create a succession plan to ensure your business lives on after you are gone.

History has taught us that the myth that business cycles don’t matter is completely shattered. Put this myth aside, in the wake of economic downturns, managers must learn how to use the business cycle for competitive advantage.

Companies need to learn how to integrate strategic business-cycle management into their tool kits.

Quite often, the long-reaching consequences of a recessionary period are too much for even the most recession-proof businesses or assets to withstand.
