Chief Restructuring Officer

We Help Organizations Overcome
Financial Challenges & Return to Profitability.

Our team of financial restructuring experts develop and implement restructuring plans to help businesses transform their operations and navigate challenging situations.

Today’s economy isn’t an easy one to do business in. Inflation, worker strikes, supplier issues, instability and rising interest rates are just a few challenges that are wreaking havoc on the financial outlook of organizations across the nation. 

When profits are decreasing and the possibility of defaulting is too close for comfort, a chief restructuring officer can offer strategic assistance that can bring your organization back from the brink.  

A Chief Restructuring Officer (CRO) offers an expert, outside and unbiased opinion that can help put your business back on the right track.  

Our team of financial restructuring experts dig into your organization’s essential services and develop a plan to help your business escape potential forbearance and come back out on top.  

Our team of CPAs and organizational restructuring experts guides you through what can be a challenging and emotional process, helping to bring you peace of mind and clarity.  

We begin by conducting a comprehensive assessment of your organization’s financial health, meeting with key stakeholders and analyzing your financial data. From there, we develop a strategic plan that includes model financial scenarios, cost-cutting suggestions, negotiations and operational improvements – always keeping legal compliance and reporting top of mind. Together, we monitor and adapt the plan as needed, on the way to stabilizing your organization for the future.  

Our Chief Restructuring Officers work closely with clients to ensure that your business not only survives but thrives, helping you come out stronger than ever before.

When Does it Make Sense to Bring in a Chief Restructuring Officer (CRO)?

Financial distress.

If your nonprofit or business is experiencing declining revenues, mounting debt, or cash flow problems, a CRO can help to stabilize the situation and implement a plan to turn the tide around. 

Operational challenges.

If your organization is facing significant operational challenges, such as inefficient processes, outdated technology, or a lack of strategic direction, bringing in the CRO team at Maner can help to identify and address these issues to improve efficiency and profitability. 

Merger or acquisition.

If a merger or acquisition may be on the horizon, our CRO experts can help to manage the integration process and ensure you’re positioned for long-term success. 

Bankruptcy or insolvency.

If your organization is facing bankruptcy or insolvency, the skills of a CRO can help to guide you through the restructuring process and develop a plan to emerge from the situation stronger and more viable. 

What Are Some of the Key Responsibilities of a CRO?

Financial Assessment: As CROs, we assess the business’s financial situation, including debts, assets, cash flow, and overall financial health.  

Developing a Turnaround Plan: Based on our assessment, we will work closely with you to develop a turnaround plan. This plan may include refinancing strategies and operational improvements. 

Communications: Effective communication is essential to maintain trust and support during a challenging period, as your CRO, we will do everything to make sure key stakeholders are communicated with. 

Exit Strategy: As CROs, we aim to guide the organization toward a successful turnaround. This may involve transitioning the company back to its original management or facilitating a sale or merger.
