Performance Advisory: providing practical, impactful solutions

The Leonard Curtis Performance Advisory team, led by Director Phil Lyons, delivers specialised services to businesses to help them achieve their potential in terms of financial performance – a service that sits perfectly alongside Leonard Curtis’ wider restructuring expertise.

What is Performance Advisory?

Performance Advisory is the latest service line offering from Leonard Curtis – our expert team guides organisations through both rapid change and complex transformation.

How do I know whether my client needs Performance Advisory support?

Symptoms of client underperformance can include:

  • Fall in turnover.
  • Reduced/negative EBITDA.
  • Net cash outflow.
  • Post-deal performance issues.
  • Upcoming sale of business.

Upcoming organisational change can also be a key driver in the need for transformation planning.

What are your solutions?

Every initial business review is bespoke, and a core strength of the Leonard Curtis team is the personalised, hands-on approach. We will work closely with your clients to identify and implement solutions together, building strong, reliable relationships that you can count on.

Once we have an understanding of the business need, we are able to provide solutions including:

  • Cost reduction.
  • Process/controls improvement.
  • Business plan review.
  • Product profitability review.
  • Post-deal synergy/efficiency identification.
  • Transformation planning.
  • Transformation implementation.
  • Course correcting Project Management Office (PMO).

Given the challenges facing the UK economy, especially the increase in costs for business with the upcoming enforcement of the latest Budget measures, the need for targeted action to protect profit is clear.

If you have any questions, contact your local team on 01489 550440 or 01202 712810.
