Corporate Revitalization Services

Turnaround Consulting

Anderson Bauman Tourtellot Vos brings fresh ideas and wide experience to every consulting engagement. Unlike general management consultants, we focus on companies in early to advanced stages of distress. A troubled company has distinctive challenges to overcome, from low morale among employees to lack of confidence from customers and creditors. Knowing how to stabilize the situation and breathe new vitality into the organization requires special expertise.

You'll appreciate the down-to-earth attitude we bring to your situation. Rather than leave you with reams of unrealistic recommendations, we'll guide you to the practical steps you can take with the resources you have, to the do-able measures that will actually make a difference.

Interim Executive Management

Most of our experience is in helping distressed companies from the inside, as interim CEOs, CFOs, COOs or CROs. For a period of a few months to a few years, the interim executive acts in a fiduciary capacity, and works hand-in-hand with the company's managers and employees to turn the troubled company around. This may involve quickly improving cash flow, creating better reporting systems, introducing new technology, expanding or trimming the customer base, penetrating new markets, revisiting the strategic business plan and other actions.

Interim management can be the best solution in many situations, including the death or departure of a business owner or key leader, a sudden and devastating change in the competitive environment, a feud that tears apart a family-owned business, and many more. In most cases, however, interim managers supplement, rather than replace, the company's executives.

Planning

Most often in turnaround situations, the business plan needs to be revisited and revised. As circumstances change, the key to revitalization often lies in developing a sound plan for the future. Our professionals are all experienced in business planning, strategic planning, succession planning and guidance in debt consolidation.

Fraud Investigation

We provide fraud investigation services to companies, lenders and to the legal community. The suspected fraud may be asset misappropriation, bank fraud, financial statement fraud, cash larceny, inventory theft or skimming. The investigation process typically includes gathering, analyzing and carefully documenting written and electronic evidence, interviewing witnesses and suspects, preparing investigation reports, testifying at trials or depositions as needed, and providing guidance in implementing fraud prevention measures. The firm's expertise includes the Certified Fraud Examiner designation conferred by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners.
