Strategic Advisory & Consulting

We support our customers with a flexible range of services in making strategic decisions with confidence based on well-researched insights.

We often handle complex issues that arise infrequently in a company’s life cycle, and outsourcing these services on an “as-needed basis” is a cost-effective way to address a wide range of tasks in a timely manner.

We lead our clients through intense periods of change and growth

Our team’s experience in supporting data-driven strategic decisions spans more than 20 years.

We have worked for almost every industry and business model on three continents. During this time, we have completed approx. 250 projects in the area of strategic consulting and participated in transactions exceeding $100 million.

We form a multidisciplinary team of experts in strategy, finance and analytical technology. We not only know what is the value of your company and what is driving it, but also how to increase it.

Benefits

It is essential for any company to know the mechanics and workings inside out. Understanding the overall health of your business can mean the difference between success and failure, and allow you to make timely changes if required. 

Informed Strategic Decision-Making

Making the right strategic decisions causes many managers a headache in today’s unpredictable world. High-performing management teams use and monitor assumptions throughout their strategic decision-making process.

Managers need to understand, for example, how investments (CAPEX, M&A, innovations, R&D) translate into profit and cash growth over time. Being able to relate these returns to what competitors are able to achieve is a good measure of improving operational excellence and capital efficiency.

Often, however, managers lack sufficient competence or experience, and here they can benefit from our support.

Fresh-Eye View

As an independent advisor, we present a point of view based on facts and multi-discipline experience, not on untrustworthy intuition, emotions or schematic, bracketed thinking.

We look at your business and the opportunities around you completely out-of-the-box. Smart leaders understand that the intellectual honesty of a strategic advisor fosters creativity and growth.

We are also well versed in what we do and spend time and resources tracking trends and the companies that drive them. Internally, this „multiplier effect” cannot be replicated without a significant increase in manpower and costs.

Win-Win Relationship

As a strategic advisor, we are a cost-effective option for you. We enable you to acquire the greatest degree of experience, personal network, and know-how, which can be applied to your most difficult challenges for the exact amount of time you require.

At the same time, we try to orient ourselves to our customers on a long-term basis. As a result, we have an interest like few others in making sure your company achieves its goals, because that’s how we grow too. This is also reflected in the billing model for our services, which are often based on success.

Flexibility & Complexity

We are not part of a large financial institution or one of the international Shared Service Centers. We are ready to work with companies at almost any stage of the life cycle, in a scope flexibly adapted to their individual needs.

What is also important is that we also find ourselves comfortable in international transactions, having a network of contacts, including other advisors around the world.

While cooperating in a certain area, we are also always ready to support you in another field in which we specialize. Knowing your company well, it will be easier for us, than for an outsider, to entrust new tasks related to finance, controlling, business analytics or strategic projects.
