Invitations welcome in the spirit of a growing network of professionals BUSINESS TURNAROUND SPECIALIST Businesses across the market spectrum from Aerospace to Retail who face serious financial and cash flow issues hire me to stop the bleeding and put them back on the road to profitability. Lending institutions hire me to evaluate firms for viability and accurately report their financial performances month to month. As a business turnaround specialist I help small businesses, generally ranging from $2MM to $30MM in revenues, convert chaos and crisis into recovery, stability and profitability. Beane Associates is a proud member of the Turnaround Management Association and our president is an officer for the Philadelphia chapter, and we’re a highly referred firm in this space for good reason. As the chief liaison between a business owner and a secured creditor, my trust with lenders east of the Mississippi provides valuable time for the business on the edge, delaying default calls while the new strategy can gel. Our firm’s response time is low and action immediate. My background in business turnarounds cuts across financial management, sales and marketing strategies and has created dozens of relieved, thankful, and happy Beane Associates clients in the last decade. Our objective is to become THE most recommended turnaround management consulting firm on the eastern seaboard. This skillset and experience, trialed by fire, provides a perfect solution for firms that aren’t in business jeopardy or risk of default, but that need a spark to get the numbers moving positively again. I am driven to help companies restructure and regain profitability, yet if a situation is beyond repair, our reputation in leading wind-downs and liquidations is second to none. • LENDING INSTITUTION PROFESSIONALS, connect with me as default insurance for your Small Business debtors. • SMALL BUSINESS EXECUTIVES, connect with me to preserve fiscal health & right your business ship.
