Thunderbird Advisory Group provides comprehensive business optimization and financial advisory services to companies across the globe. Below is an introduction to our business performance and finance services:

Finance Optimization Services
Finance optimization services help businesses identify areas within their finance and accounting group that are inefficient, under or oversized, duplicative and/or redundant (in many cases due to decentralized operations or recent acquisitions), ineffective in being able to provide timely, relevant information and reporting and ultimately do not provide any sort of value-add. Solutions to combat these issues include:

Process redesign/automation
Finance team reorganization and training
System(s) review and optimization

Corporate performance management focuses on a company’s overall performance (both operational financial) and gives management a view of how well these two sides to the success equation are working together. Solutions include:

Performance dashboards
Profitability analysis and revenue enhancement
Project management and change management

Strategic Cost Reduction
Strategic cost reduction includes the concept of identifying drivers of costs and how to effectively mitigate the risk of eroding profitability and lack of visibility. Solutions include:

AP/Contract Cost Recovery
Sourcing/Ordering Optimization
SG&A Reduction

Working Capital Optimization
Working capital is the combination and interplay of Current Assets and Current Liabilities which drive cash flows, ability to fund operations, effective credit management and inventory control. Solutions include:
