Stabilization & Cash Flow

We help companies regain control of liquidity and near-term performance. This includes cash flow diagnostics, short-term forecasting, working capital analysis, and identifying immediate actions to preserve runway and stabilize operations.

Cost Structure & Margin Improvement

We evaluate cost structures across the board to identify opportunities for discipline and efficiency. Our work focuses on sustainable margin improvement, not short-term cuts that undermine long-term performance.

Operating Performance Correction

We support leadership teams in correcting performance gaps by tightening operating cadence, clarifying accountability, and aligning financial targets with execution. This includes KPI review, variance analysis, and decision support tied directly to business outcomes.

Complex Transitions & Special Situations

For companies navigating periods of change — leadership transitions, rapid slowdowns, stalled growth, or operational resets — we provide structured financial guidance to help teams make clear decisions under pressure and move forward with confidence.
