Exceptional Interim Placement in Two Days!
Gruppo Arsenale was able to provide and onboard an exceptional Interim VP of Finance for one of our port-cos in two days. We’ve never seen anything like it.
Outstanding Interim Staffing
Gruppo Arsenale knows how to quickly build a team with the right people. We had brought in an interim CFO, and Gruppo Arsenale was able to quickly build out a full function around him. From the Interim FP&A Director to Senior Accountants and our Interim VP of Data and Systems, Gruppo Arsenale executed flawlessly in stabilizing our company.
Incredible Team Building
We had used another firm to hire our CFO, and they didn’t understand our needs at all which led to turnover in this position. Gruppo Arsenale’s interim and permanent placement services allowed us to stabilize the finance function at a time of tremendous inorganic growth. They built out a finance team for our business and were able to provide access to and present actionable data for our Senior Leadership Team.
In-depth Triage with Quick Implementation
The COVID years put a significant strain on our business, from staffing issues to
effectively shutting down our acquisitive and de novo growth. Gruppo Arsenale was able
to help evaluate our needs and work through audits and government/regulatory
reporting requirements. They identified key staffing needs in our team, helped us integrate several acquisitions that had been stalled through the shutdowns.
Fast Triage Analysis with Long-lasting Impact
The team came through during a staffing and operational crisis, with key executives being terminated and the business in rough shape. By triaging our situation and identifying long term opportunities and solutions, not just
short term band-aids, we were able to stabilize the business, put it back on a profitable
path, and ultimately bring it to a successful sale.
Triage put us back on track!
The TRIAGE process is outstanding. The working sessions are terrific and thoughtful, and the memo and support materials we received at the end are a true roadmap for us. Our new permanent CFO was able to hit the ground running immediately after being onboarded because of the TRIAGE process.
Portfolio Company Transformation
When the healthcare staffing industry went into a free-fall after COVID, our company followed suit. Gruppo Arsenale was able to identify key drivers and hiring needs, provide immediate FP&A insight and forecasting, work through loan covenant compliance, and create the data warehousing environment and reporting structures we needed to stabilize and adapt to current market conditions.
M&A Excellence
The expertise shown by Gruppo Arsenale in route-based businesses helped me prepare my business for a sale. After being approached by numerous private equity groups wanting to acquire my business, Gruppo Arsenale helped me prepare for the voluminous data and diligence requests. I would not have been able to handle it without them.
Pre-acquisition Professionalization
Gruppo Arsenale was the single most important asset we had to prepare us to sell to private equity. The TRIAGE service allowed us to identify opportunities in our business, streamline our team and process, and present our financial and operational reporting to potential buyers in a way that helped us maximize our value.
