TurnaroundGroup

In today’s fast-paced business world, companies are in constant competition, regardless of their size. Change is inevitable and current globalization requires constant and rapid market integration.

Our team of professionals knows how to help our clients with their most urgent and critical needs. Our services, resources and experience make the difference in maximizing the value and lowering the risks associated with a transaction; we offer advice on all of the aspects essential to making a transaction with the desired results.

The main objective of our participation in process of transactions is to help generate solid and lasting value for shareholders and stakeholders through detailed and thorough planning so as to increase opportunities and reduce risks during a transaction’s organization, evaluation and closing.

We provide comprehensive solutions to our clients using leading practices and by subscribing to the highest standards of integrity. As part of our commitment, we do not take unnecessary risks in transactions.

When a transaction is proposed, Turnaround Group offers a comprehensive and robust perspective, taking on all aspects of the transaction. We provide a comprehensive solution to our clients, through the active participation and exchange of opinions of our professionals, who have extensive experience and broad knowledge in finance, human resources, legal and tax regulation, and a clear understanding of the current business environment and the complexity of a transaction.

Transaction Services

Transactions are very exciting, but they are also risky and could expose you and your company to both benefits and significant risks. Many transactions have resulted in the destruction of shareholder value as a result of overvaluation, poor advising in transaction structuring, subsequent findings at closing, or an unsuccessful post-merger-integration.

Corporate Advisory Services

In Turnaround Group, we have leveraged our knowledge and experience to benefit our clients by offering practical recommendations designed to help them work better, grow rapidly, and strengthen their competitive status.

Our staff is talented, we have technical expertise and broad knowledge of diverse industries, and we possess the ability to get things done.

Whether the starting point is a crisis or an opportunity, change comes to businesses in many ways: mergers, acquisitions, strategic alliances, new competitors, regulatory changes, technology, and corporate restructuring. But the central concerns remain the same: optimizing the structure of the financial functions, managing the change, improving business performance, strategic alignment, and developing human capital.

Our multidisciplinary approach allows us to provide out clients with effective advisory on various matters of their businesses. Our approach is precisely what makes us different.

Our goal is to provide our customers with a comprehensive service that combines the knowledge and skills of specialists in finance, strategic planning, accounting, risk management, human resources, legal and tax.

Some organizations think. Other organizations do. At the top are the organizations that do both. These organizations are able to capitalize on today’s value and position themselves so as to have more value in the future.
