Boutique Restructuring & Turnaround Advisory (Remote, U.S.)

Title: Director/Sr. Director

Firm Overview

The client is a boutique middle‑market advisory firm that partners with companies navigating complex financial, operational, and strategic situations. Our work is centered on turnaround & restructuring, performance improvement, and transaction advisory, with a strong track record supporting debtor-side engagements both in and out of court.
