  Management Consulting for Distressed Enterprises

 

Our professionals use time tested methodologies and analytics to provide cost effective assistance to enterprises in distress. Working closely with senior management, we develop an action plan to generate cash and stabilize operations based on a breakeven analysis.  Concurrently, strategic and administrative issues related to the long term success of the enterprise are evaluated and reviewed with executive management and company ownership.  The plans are updated at a regularly scheduled weekly management meeting and the results are reported to key stakeholders of the firm. Whether the crisis has been caused by a sudden change in industry conditions, the loss of a major customer or key executive, or a change in funding sources, our professionals have the background and experience to help manage through the problem. We also have an extensive network of professional affiliations and can help source capital, evaluate merger and acquisition opportunities, and recruit and hire senior management.
