What it looks like when the right CFO walks in

25 years of engagements across transition, distress, M&A, and growth. Here is what those situations look like — and how they resolved.

The moments that called for experienced financial leadership

Every engagement starts with a defining business moment.

CFO Departure & Leadership Gap

When a CFO exits unexpectedly, the company loses credibility with lenders and investors immediately. We place a senior replacement before the damage compounds.

Lender & Covenant Pressure

When a company receives a formal covenant notice, it needs a credible financial voice immediately — not in 90 days. We’ve placed CFOs in under two weeks.

M&A and Transaction Execution

Transactions require financial credibility from the data room to the close. Our CFOs have led dozens of processes and know what buyers and lenders need to see.

Distress & Rapid Growth

Two sides of the same pressure. Whether fighting for survival or scaling faster than the finance team can manage, we bring structure.

Restoring lender confidence under covenant pressure

A regional healthcare services company received a formal covenant notice two weeks after its CFO resigned with no transition plan in place.

The Situation

The lender issued a formal default notice two weeks after the CFO resigned with no succession plan.

A credible CFO who could negotiate with the lender, produce a remediation plan, and secure a covenant waiver.

Interlochen placed a senior CFO in 10 days who led lender negotiations and secured a covenant waiver within 45 days.

Covenant waiver secured. The company refinanced on schedule and the lender relationship was fully restored.
