Middle market companies encountering crisis rarely have the management resources in place to meet the challenge.  Even rarer is having the know-how to correctly prioritize, strategize and then execute the very specific tactics to quickly navigate through the current situation to end-up in a much better place. Riverbend Restructuring Advisors is exactly that place to find the hands-on management team capable of stepping into a troubled company, integrating quickly into operations and assembling the action plan for what’s needed and necessary. Our managers don’t shy away from a company in crisis – in fact, they embrace that crisis with time-is-of-the essence mentality.

​

Riverbend Restructuring Advisors can supplant management in the C-suite and has numerous case histories in which our managers have done so; quickly integrating with an incumbent team and immediately developing a recovery plan for the business. 

​

The firm has been purpose-built to address interim executive management needs by providing experienced managers that can do (and have done) the following:

• Interim C-level managers (CEO, CFO, COO, CRO) who have the situational awareness to address the company’s challenge head-on, and the industry experience to be directly relevant to the operating company’s financial, operating and credit profile.

• As the operating plans unfold and performance improves, our managers are excellent recruiters – as well as the natural recruiters - to replace themselves with long-term leadership.  They know the job requirements, they know the cultural environment and certainly they can be a positive influence during the transition.

​

We use a reasonable and competitive, middle-market fee structure that can be rolled into one engagement with Riverbend's other service verticals.  Performance and success fees can be part of the value stream in which the firm aligns its interests with stakeholders.

​

Riverbend Restructuring Advisors provides interim, executive managers that adeptly report to Boards of Directors, liaise with lenders and equity holders and provide surge resources to meet the extraordinary challenge of a business under going crisis. 

​

Additionally, our managers have extensive experience navigating not only the financial challenges, but also the numerous regulatory, legal and industrial challenges that often come in concert with the under-performance of an operating company. Our experiences include defending SEC investigations, various forms and types of white-collar criminal investigations, ITAR investigations, EPA investigations, whistle-blower investigations, just to name a few.

The firm’s managers have significant experience in revenue generation/top-line improvements, cost reduction programs of many kinds/types, staffing increase and reduction plans to address surge requirements for turnarounds.  The M&A process has become a common-place business process for an under-performing company and our interim managers are very fluent in supporting a sell-side process – including capital raises/recapitalizations to enable the M&A process.
