Bankruptcy & Restructuring Support

When a business cannot meet its financial obligations, the quality of financial leadership in the room determines whether the outcome is recovery or dissolution. This is not work for a generalist CFO learning on the job. It requires specific experience, specific skills, and the ability to operate with discipline under sustained pressure.

I have run large bankruptcies and helped businesses avoid that outcome altogether through disciplined restructuring. This is a unique skill set — one that most CFOs, fractional or otherwise, do not have. I bring it to clients navigating the most difficult financial circumstances a business can face.

What restructuring engagements typically involve:

• A business facing immediate liquidity pressure or covenant breaches

• Creditors requiring more rigorous and frequent financial reporting

• Management needing a CFO who can stabilize operations while negotiations proceed

• A bankruptcy filing requiring experienced financial leadership through the process

• A business that can be saved with the right financial strategy — and needs someone who has done it before to lead that effort

What I provide in restructuring engagements:

• Cash flow forecasting and liquidity management under distress

• Creditor reporting and communication support

• Financial operations stabilization

• Bankruptcy filing support and ongoing CFO leadership through the process

• Restructuring plan development and financial modeling

• Coordination with legal counsel, turnaround advisors, and creditors

• Post-restructuring financial infrastructure rebuilding

Distressed situations move fast. I engage quickly and operate effectively under the time and stakeholder pressure that restructuring work demands.
