The Situation

Our client was a privately held manufacturer of firearms, valued at $38 million, based in New York.

The Company was encountering various difficulties that emanated from a financial defalcation.

How We Advised

At the CEO/Owner’s request, our experts assumed the interim role as CFO and developed a cash forecasting, cash management, and oversight plan for the entire accounting/financial organization. With the appropriate controls developed and implemented, the Company rapidly returned to profitability. We continued to provide strategic oversight and advisory services, and also led the effort to successfully refinance the Company’s credit facility.
