We’re Not Just Consultants.
We're a middle-market firm comprised of professionals who've held the chair. We've been CEOs making impossible calls. COOs keeping operations running. CFOs preserving cash. Senior lenders deciding who gets paid. We've owned businesses. We have the experience and commitment to get the job done affordably with straightforward solutions.
Who We Are
Excellence in Business Crises
We thrive when businesses are on fire. When everyone else is frozen. When the clock is ticking.
Decisive Action Under Pressure
We're built for pressure. We move fast when others stall. We decide when others debate.
Pragmatism Above All
We do the work that matters. Skip what doesn't. Not every hour is a billable opportunity.
Bespoke Solutions
Every business, every
problem and every crisis are
different – MACCO tailors
Communication Fluency
We speak the common language of lawyers, accountants, investment bankers and similar professionals in the restructuring industry.
Focused on Finding Answers
We find answers. Not endless analyses. Not more meetings. Answers.

Our Core Belief
Businesses in crisis deserve affordable, straightforward solutions. Not consultant fees that make the crisis worse.
What We Bring
From Boardroom to Backroom
We've worked every level. Strategy sessions and loading docks. Executive decisions and operational fixes.
Tactics Aligned with Strategy
We don't do strategy without execution. Or tactics without direction. They work together or they don't work.
Financial Insight
We read numbers that tell stories. We find the truth hiding in spreadsheets.
Cultural Awareness
Clear understanding of the diversity in corporate cultures. We adapt. We don't force square pegs into round holes.
Managing Legal & IT Risks
Legal and technology risks kill companies quietly. We see them coming.
Global Expertise
We've worked domestic and international. Different markets. Different rules. Same principles.

We’re Only As Successful As Our Last Client
No templates. No standard playbooks. Your crisis is unique. We structure every engagement around your specific circumstances.
Who We Serve
Boards Out of Answers
Public, private, and closely-held companies when their boards and senior management finally realize the problem extends beyond their expertise. When internal solutions have been tried and failed. When it's time to admit you need outside help.
Funds Watching Money Burn
Private equity and hedge funds dealing with under-performing or failing portfolio companies. Investments that looked good on paper but are burning cash in reality. When the fund managers realize they need operators, not more financial engineering.
Family Offices in Distress
Family offices watching investments sour and loans go bad. Personal wealth
accumulated over generations now evaporating. Family offices with souring investments or loans don't have answers and the family needs someone who's navigated this before.
Banks Stuck With Bad Debt
Banks and agent banks, usually through their work-out or distressed asset groups, when they recognize they can't reach resolution with a troubled borrower on a defaulted loan. When phone calls aren't returned and promises aren't kept. When they need someone to step in.
Lawyers Seeking Operational Experience
Corporate and bankruptcy lawyers who realize their clients need more than legal advice. Management won't face reality. Or can't execute what needs executing. And won't accept that hope is not a viable business strategy.
Investment Bankers Needing Restructuring Support
Investment bankers engaged to accomplish a sale, and recognize the company needs astute restructuring management to keep it viable until a sale can be accomplished.
Our Approach

The Fire
Assess the damages.
When your business is burning, assessments can't take weeks. Our financial and operational experts move fast, identifying immediate risks and controlling damage while you still have options.
- Conserve cash. Preserve assets. Stabilize now.
- Keep critical people and vendors from walking away.
- Tell lenders and stakeholders the truth. Clearly.
- Build 13-week cash flow that shows reality, not hope.
- Establish reporting that actually tracks what matters.

The Rescue
Build the plan.
The fire is contained. Now you need a way forward. We work with your management to develop plans that are actually achievable given your constraints. Not fantasy. Not what worked for someone else. What will work for you.
- Find restructuring opportunities in both balance sheet and operations.
- Identify alternative financing when traditional sources have dried up.
- Develop strategies for asset sales and divestitures that preserve value.
The Result
Prepare for take-off.
You have assets worth maximizing. We find them and explore realistic ways to implement solutions that drive revenue while building systems stable enough to last. Not someday systems. The kind that work when things get complicated.
- Develop core asset and business maximization strategies
- Explore growth opportunities
- Foster strategic partnerships
- Increase revenue and margins
- Streamline operating costs
- Re-establish processes, procedures, and communications that last
