Performance Improvement & Restructuring

Why Cascade Partners?

Because we’ve been active owners, operators, investors, and board members, we know how to help businesses improve their operations, financial management and oversight. Our unique combination of middle market knowledge – including understanding its constraints and nuances – and our operational expertise enables us to rapidly identify and address the root causes of issues – such as a broken balance sheet being a symptom of a deeper operational issue.

Whether we’re taking a client’s business to the next level, advocating for them with investors or lenders, or driving more cash flow – we’re the partner to help make it happen.

Sustainable Solutions

With our hands-on approach, enhanced experience leading in-plant operations, driving growth at the Board level, and having been business owners ourselves, we do more than suggest a plan.

We stay the course, working shoulder to shoulder with client teams to:

1. 1. Implement the plan
   2. Build in accountability
   3. Measure success
   4. Prepare teams to operate independently

Performance Improvement

Business dynamics have never evolved faster. Leading organizations recognize they cannot wait until a crisis arrives to make changes. They need to take a proactive approach to developing their company. Management teams and operational leaders can benefit from an outside perspective to continuously improve performance, drive revenue growth, and improve cost structure. Cascade Partners provides clients with a team that has a broad depth of experience helping organizations evolve.

Our collaborative and proven process has delivered positive, result-driven outcomes for scores of businesses across industries. We work closely with clients to define their needs, goals and expectations. We then collaborate closely with them to implement performance improvement changes to help them realize those goals.

Restructuring

The one certainty today is uncertainty. Disruptions resulting from global events and market fluctuations are common. We help stabilize businesses with transformational restructuring solutions designed from a financial and operational perspective. Cascade Partners combines our shop floor leadership experience, financial expertise, and success as C-Suite executives to identify critical challenges impacting a business’ success. Whether leading operations, redefining supply chain or unlocking cash embedded in working capital, Cascade Partners brings hands on leadership to implement necessary changes. When resources are needed, we can provide interim or crisis management and act as chief financial officer, chief operating officer or chief restructuring officer.

We do the heavy lifting

Managing consistent communication, conflict resolution, alignment of interests among stakeholders, including customers, employees, suppliers, shareholders, secured and unsecured creditors, and communities is stressful – especially when still running day to day operations. We understand that and manage these unique and often delicate interactions. Faced with these critical and perhaps unfamiliar issues, shareholders and debtors need an experienced advisor to help them preserve value, repair relationships with creditors, restructure debt, or if necessary, find a new lender.
