Our freelance financial restructuring consultants' profiles take on operational responsibility in financial crisis situations: They prepare restructuring plans in accordance with IDW S 6, develop integrated financial plans that include liquidity, earnings, and balance sheet projections, and conduct negotiations with banks, creditors, and investors. Key deliverables include liquidity status reports, rolling 13-week cash flow projections, restructuring reports, and term sheets. Companies benefit from the fact that these experts are immediately ready to act and do not require an internal training period.
Typical scenarios include impending insolvency, failed loan negotiations, upcoming deadlines for filing for bankruptcy, or a change in ownership requiring balance sheet adjustments. Companies also turn to our profiles for out-of-court turnarounds, debt-equity swaps, or the preparation of a StaRUG proceeding. The sooner an experienced financial restructuring advisor is brought in, the greater the room for maneuver—and the more options remain available.

A financial restructuring consultant stabilizes companies in financial crises by providing transparency regarding liquidity and earnings, robust planning, and concrete measures. They create integrated models based on the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement, manage covenants, and develop refinancing options. In addition, they organize reporting and communication with banks, investors, and internal stakeholders.
Typical triggers include acute or impending liquidity shortages, delayed financial statements, highly volatile forecasts, or impending covenant breaches. The need also becomes apparent when banks request additional reports, scenarios, or collateral analyses, and the company lacks the time or modeling expertise internally. At the very latest, during standstill, waiver, or refinancing discussions, a clear framework of figures and actions is helpful.
Key skills include excellent financial modeling (integrated models, scenarios, sensitivities), cash management, working capital mechanics, and a solid grasp of covenant logic. In terms of tools, Advanced Excel, PowerPoint, BI/reporting (e.g., Power BI/Tableau), and common ERP environments (e.g., SAP) are relevant, supplemented by data room and collaboration tools. Certifications can be helpful (e.g., CFA, a background in auditing or tax consulting, or training in corporate restructuring), but demonstrable experience with restructuring projects is crucial.
An Interim CFO assumes overall responsibility for the finance function, including organization, team leadership, compliance, and long-term financial strategy. A financial restructuring consultant specializes more in crisis management: liquidity management, integrated planning, stakeholder reporting, and rapidly implemented restructuring options. In practice, they often complement the CFO or Interim CFO by accelerating analysis, modeling, and the implementation of measures.
Typical deliverables include a 13-week liquidity plan, cash control rules, and daily or weekly cash reporting with variance analysis. In addition, they provide integrated financial models (income statement, balance sheet, cash flow) including scenarios, sensitivity analyses, and covenant tests, as well as a prioritized action plan with business cases and assigned responsibilities. For stakeholders, the consultant provides structured banking documentation, data room organization, Q&A logs, and steering committee packages.
The daily rate for a financial restructuring consultant typically ranges from €1,400 to €2,200 and varies depending on the severity of the crisis, the consultant’s seniority, and the level of detail required for modeling and stakeholder engagement. The pricing structure may also vary for very short-term assignments or those requiring extensive travel or on-site presence. We will suggest suitable options that align with your situation both professionally and budget-wise.
