The Challenge
A middle-market, fast-growing and acquisitive professional services company tapped ARG for support in resolving a material misstatement to the company financial statements. The company was concerned with overall financial reporting accuracy, tax implications and liability, and short- and long-term cash liquidity.
The Solution
Alliance Resource Group quickly identified a hands-on interim CFO who was able to join the organization and dive in immediately. She quickly assessed and identified where the inaccuracies existed and created an action plan for the accounting and finance team to manage the general ledger cleanup. She then established clear communications with the CEO, Board of Directors, bank and other stakeholders regarding project progress, key findings, and process improvements implemented.
The Outcome
Within six months, the ARG consultant rectified the misstatement, and the client received a clean opinion for the previous year’s audit. The general ledger and financial statements were corrected, and the interim CFO reported accurate and detailed earnings and financials to the Board and company stakeholders within the specified deadline.
She built a robust but easy-to-use cash forecasting model to accurately predict cash flow and assisted leadership is managing their acquisition timelines. Overall, financial health transparency improved, which positively impacted relationships with the bank and lenders.
