About the role
A restructuring consultant helps a business understand its immediate cash position, evaluate recovery options and manage difficult stakeholder decisions. The panel wants structured financial thinking, commercial realism and evidence that you can remain dependable when time and information are limited.
How to prepare
- Review how a short-term cash flow forecast is built, updated and reconciled to actual cash movements.
- Prepare an example where you found the root cause of a performance or liquidity problem.
- Practise separating urgent stabilisation actions from longer-term operational improvements.
- Think through the interests and influence of lenders, suppliers, employees, owners and customers in a turnaround.
- Be ready to explain how you would validate unreliable management information.
Common mistakes
- Starting with long-term strategy before establishing how much cash is available and when it will run out.
- Assuming management forecasts are reliable without reconciling them to evidence.
- Proposing cuts without considering whether they destroy the capacity needed for recovery.
