Transportation Case Studies
Issue: A transportation company
struggles under the burden of annualized losses
approaching $500k; a new terminal in
mid-construction; credit lines fully extended
and barely enough cash to meet the next payroll.
The external auditors find the accounting
unreliable and recommend that the incumbent CFO
be replaced. The principals of Pathfinders are
asked to step in at this point.
Solution:
The plan calls for structural changes to the
business and leads to profitability in the third
quarter after the change. Within three years,
profitability has increased to $5 million
annually; the business has paid off all
outstanding debt and generated a $6 million cash
surplus.
