Restructuring with Clarity: Expert Financial Modeling for a Technology Turnaround
- Region: Europe
- Industry: Technology / Private Equity
Challenge
A PE-backed technology company was undergoing a major restructuring. The task ahead wasn’t simple: they needed a robust financial model that could serve as a decision-making backbone—for internal stakeholders, board members, and future investors alike.
The stakes were high. The existing model lacked clarity and flexibility. Key assumptions were buried, edge cases weren’t considered, and the model couldn’t easily support strategic scenario planning. The team had finance capabilities, but not the bandwidth—or the specialized experience—to build what the situation demanded.
They didn’t just need a model.
They needed a senior-level operator who could speak both finance and strategy.
Deliverables
Fintalent placed a seasoned finance professional with a background in investment banking and private equity—someone who had built and challenged models at the Senior Associate to VP level in high-stakes contexts.
He rebuilt the core financial model from scratch, creating a flexible, assumption-driven structure that allowed for fast scenario analysis, stress testing, and board-ready outputs. Beyond the mechanics, he worked closely with the leadership team to ensure alignment on inputs, clarity on KPIs, and consistency in the narrative across board presentations.
His experience in both deal execution and portfolio-side value creation proved essential. He wasn’t just building a model—he was clarifying the roadmap.
Result
The company moved forward with a clear, defensible financial plan that accelerated internal alignment and increased confidence with key stakeholders. The model became a tool for decision-making—not just reporting.
Strategic Takeaway: In restructuring scenarios, the right financial model isn’t just about numbers—it’s about strategic clarity. When financial and operational decisions hang in the balance, having a seasoned professional who can navigate both sides of the table makes all the difference.
