Group
In today’s fast-paced business world, companies

requires constant and rapid market integration.
Our team of professionals knows how to help our
clients with their most urgent and critical needs. Our
services, resources and experience make the
difference in maximizing the value and lowering the
risks associated with a transaction; we offer advice
on all of the aspects essential to making a
transaction with the desired results.
The main objective of our participation in process of
transactions is to help generate solid and lasting
value for shareholders and stakeholders through
detailed and thorough planning so as to increase
opportunities and reduce risks during a transaction’s
organization, evaluation and closing.
We provide comprehensive solutions to our clients

highest standards of integrity. As part of our

Transaction Services
Transactions are very exciting, but
they are also risky and could
expose you and your company to
both benefits and significant
risks. Many transactions have
resulted in the destruction of
shareholder value as a result of
overvaluation, poor advising in
transaction structuring,
subsequent findings at closing, or
an unsuccessful post-merger-
integration.

Corporate Advisory Services
In Turnaround Group, we have leveraged our
knowledge and experience to benefit our clients
by offering practical recommendations designed
to help them work better, grow rapidly, and
strengthen their competitive status.
Our staff is talented, we have technical expertise
and broad knowledge of diverse industries, and
we possess the ability to get things done.
Whether the starting point is a crisis or an opportunity, change comes to businesses in many ways:
mergers, acquisitions, strategic alliances, new competitors, regulatory changes, technology, and
corporate restructuring. But the central concerns remain the same: optimizing the structure of the
financial functions, managing the change, improving business performance, strategic alignment, and
developing human capital.
Our multidisciplinary approach allows us to provide out clients with effective advisory on various matters
of their businesses. Our approach is precisely what makes us different.
Our goal is to provide our customers with a
comprehensive service that combines the
knowledge and skills of specialists in finance,
strategic planning, accounting, risk management,
human resources, legal and tax.
Some organizations
think. Other
organizations do. At the
top are the organizations
that do both. These
organizations are able to
capitalize on today’s
value and position
themselves so as to have
more value in the future.
