Our professionals are drawn from our network of highly capable CEOs, COOs, CFOs and CIOs of underperforming and distressed businesses. We are usually able to fill a specific industry requirement through out extensive relationships with these highly capable executives. We provide senior executive interim management services either as a part of our corporate turnaround management practice or as independent service to our clients. We can take on temporary positions to fill difficult to find searches where the executive has been asked to immediately vacate their position. Unlike other consulting organizations, we take on the full scope and responsibility of the position including making any hiring and firing decisions as well as acting as fiduciaries over company asset accounts.

Our substantial experience in turnaround situations allows us to examine core and non-core business segments. Those SBUs not producing a sufficient umbrella of cash flow or EBITDA represent either divestiture or reorganization opportunities. The process of restructuring operations must be sensitive to human capital and potential organizational upheaval. We regularly deal in this environment, allowing our clients to avoid pitfalls frequently overlooked. Furthermore, we are experts in financial restructurings to deleverage corporate balance sheets.

We can provide assistance in arranging debt and equity financing by virtue of our relationships with private capital sources and established asset based lenders. We can also arrange mergers and acquisitions when considered appropriate by the client.

Because we work with underperforming and distressed businesses, we can quickly identify "red flags" in otherwise healthy companies. Unlike other consulting organizations, we not only identify the improvement opportunity but also work with the client to fully enact the solution.

In addition to the normal competitive analysis work done as part of our corporate turnaround management efforts, we can provide extended services for that hard to get information of a non-public nature. We have extensive experience in working with databases, property tax records, OSHA filings, environmental impact studies and other public regulatory sources to gather very detailed cost, customer, plant layout, uses of major technology, and other important factors in understanding competitive pricing, cost and margin issues.

In addition, The Scotland Group provides litigation support services to law firms. We have considerable experience in fraud investigations and forensic financial analyses. We can also provide expert testimony by virtue of our specialized and extensive industry experience. In unusual situations, we also have a relationship with a firm of special investigators and former special agents of the FBI with expertise in investigating fraud matters.

The Scotland Group also offers traditional management consulting services to optimize business operating and financial results. We respond to our clients' pressing business issues by providing the specialized experience and resources of our firm. Supply chain management, pricing models, channel management, product line extension, product rationalization and customer profitability analyses are examples of services provided to clients.
