Case Study

Industry / Context: Private equity–backed consumer products manufacturer with significant seasonality

Challenge
A seasonal consumer products company was facing mounting cash pressure, rising inventory levels, and limited visibility into true product margins. Despite strong demand, the business lacked the financial structure needed to manage its seasonality or support decision-making. Working capital was tied up for months at a time, reporting was inconsistent, and leadership often relied on instinct rather than reliable data.

The private equity owners needed the company stabilized, margins improved, and liquidity managed before performance deteriorated further.

What We Did
We stepped in to lead the financial turnaround and rebuild the company’s operating rhythm. Our work focused on creating clarity, improving cash flow, and strengthening the decisions that drive profitability.

We:

• Implemented a full reporting structure, including weekly KPIs and monthly financial reviews
• Introduced rolling forecasts to improve visibility into seasonal peaks, inventory needs, and working-capital requirements
• Built a 13-week and extended cash-flow model to manage liquidity through high-demand periods
• Recovered millions in working capital by tightening purchasing discipline and improving inventory management
• Improved gross margin by three percentage points through product-level analysis and better pricing decisions
• Reallocated capital to launch an e-commerce initiative that became cash-positive in its first year and added meaningful EBITDA
• Created discipline around budgeting, forecasting, and communication between finance and operations

Result
The company moved from recurring cash strain to predictable liquidity. Leadership gained clear visibility into product profitability, enabling stronger pricing, purchasing, and production decisions.

Gross margin improved, EBITDA increased, and the business operated with far more discipline and confidence. The private equity owners gained stability, transparency, and a clearer path to future growth — and the company emerged from a challenging period as a stronger, more financially resilient operation.
