Specialised Cash Flow Management

All aspects of cash flow management services are provided including:-

• Implementing cash forecasting systems and procedures

• Hands on management of cash flow crises

• Negotiations with banks, shareholders, customers, suppliers and other stakeholders

• Identifying the potential and delivering improvements in working capital

• Creating cash flow plans to ensure survival during stabilisation and restructuring phases of turnaround projects

Cash management projects are often combined with assuming responsibility for managing lender relationships covering day-to-day matters as well as negotiations and documentation issues.

Projects are undertaken on a team basis including existing company personnel so that at the end of the assignment the company has a trained resource as well as cash management systems.

Corporate Recovery

Icknield has years of experience of the practical aspects of corporate recovery. When a company hits troubled times it needs good professional advice and needs to be able to act on that advice. Frequently a company in these circumstances will not have sufficient experienced resource available internally. Icknield can solve this problem by managing the stabilisation and restructuring phases of the corporate recovery process on the company's behalf. 

Interim Management

In order to perform cash flow management and corporate recovery roles one or more of the Icknield team usually assume temporary executive positions.

When companies hit problems, management gaps can appear that need to be filled quickly. In addition, urgent corporate and operational action is often necessary for survival and recovery. Icknield can assume senior interim roles at short notice. Typically these roles are CRO, CEO, COO or CFO and last until restructuring is achieved and/or permanent executives are appointed.
