The company that Avant analyzed for us was initially very averse to us engaging a crisis manager. They soon viewed Avant as a valuable partner, however, with both the CFO and CEO speaking highly of Avant’s professionalism, knowledge, and ability to quickly diagnose the Company’s critical issues. In fact, at the completion of the initial assignment, the company asked Avant’s managing director Jim to remain on site for another week so to help incorporate his recommendations and to help them in the preparation of a revised set of financial projections. As a lender for the past 10 years, I’ve engaged dozens of 3rd party professionals (crisis managers, turnaround consultants, financial forensic accountants, etc.) to assist me on troubled accounts. This was the first job on which I myself worked with them, but they are the first company I would turn back to for a similar assignment. I believe their character and integrity are irreproachable. They established an immediate rapport with me and with the management of the company they analyzed. Their report was very insightful, well thought out, and easy to digest. Avant constantly made themselves available for follow-up advice and suggestions. I believe Avant Advisory Group is top-notch.
