An Extra Set of Hands When Things Get Difficult
Sometimes a business needs more than advice — it needs someone to step in and take the wheel for a while. As an interim Chief Restructuring Officer, Neil works directly inside a business to stabilize operations, right-size spending, rebuild lender and creditor confidence, and get the business back on solid footing. Every situation is different, and the plan is built around what the business actually needs — not a one-size-fits-all playbook.
