Our interim restructuring consultants take on operational responsibility in companies facing financial difficulties, structural overload, or a strategic impasse. They develop robust turnaround strategies, manage liquidity preservation measures, and oversee the implementation of restructuring plans through to sustainable stabilization. Typical deliverables include financial restructuring plans, cost-reduction roadmaps, stakeholder communication strategies, and operational turnaround programs with clear milestones and responsibilities.
Companies turn to our interim restructuring consultants when they lack the internal resources to manage a crisis on their own—for example, in the face of impending insolvency, following a failed growth strategy, or as a result of a change in ownership accompanied by a strategic shift. The sooner an experienced restructuring consultant is brought in, the greater the scope for action: Early intervention protects liquidity, maintains trust among creditors and banks, and safeguards jobs.

An interim restructuring consultant stabilizes companies in crisis or exceptional situations by measurably improving liquidity, earnings, and operational performance. They analyze the root causes, prioritize effective levers, and implement a robust program with clearly defined responsibilities, KPIs, and governance. In addition, they support communication with banks, shareholders, and other stakeholders.
Typical triggers include impending cash flow bottlenecks, covenant risks, sharp declines in margins, or operational instability in production and the supply chain. When forecasts lack reliability, decisions are made too slowly, or measures aren’t implemented, the necessary structure and effectiveness are usually lacking. With our interim restructuring consulting profiles, you can quickly establish transparency, set priorities, and establish a consistent implementation rhythm.
Key areas include cash and liquidity management, integrated planning (income statement/balance sheet/cash flow), profit and cost levers, as well as experience in turnaround governance and PMO. In terms of tools, Excel/Power Query, BI tools (e.g., Power BI/Tableau), and familiarity with ERP systems (e.g., SAP) are crucial for rapid reporting and root cause analysis. Depending on the context, knowledge of IDW S6, the logic behind restructuring reports, StaRUG mechanisms, or at least their interfaces within the project is helpful.
