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 alerting us to a deeper operational issue.

Whether we’re taking your business to the next level, advocating for you 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 a 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.

Cascade Partners provides you 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 you to define your needs, goals and expectations.

Restructuring

The one certainty today is uncertainty. Disruptions resulting from global events and market fluctuations are common and out of your control. 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 your 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 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.
