Navigating Financial Complexity to Secure Investment

After a thorough financial overhaul, including uncovering $4 million in recoverable assets, the company secured $20 million in investment. This restored investor confidence and set the stage for future growth.

Problem/ Challenge

The business faced a critical financial breakdown due to five years of inaccurate accounting, multiple POS systems, and complex revenue-sharing agreements. Strategic acquisitions further complicated reporting, with key issues such as missing backup documentation for 60% of entries, $2.5M in unexplained expenditures, and revenue discrepancies of up to 25% compared to actual deposits. These challenges eroded investor trust and stalled funding efforts.

Pain Point:

Thanks to their expert guidance, we regained control over our complex financials and restored investor confidence, leading to a successful funding round and a solid foundation for growth.
