Lincolnshire, IL — Oct. 21, 2025 — Companies often don’t call in recovery experts at the first signs of struggle. This new report from Mowery & Schoenfeld, a leading accounting, advisory, tax, and IT services firm, argues for earlier intervention by showing how turnaround accounting services can protect a company’s value and restore confidence with lenders and stakeholders.
“When a company is underperforming, everyone can sense something is wrong, but sometimes leadership just doesn’t have the data needed to make timely and often difficult decisions,” said Matt Schoenholtz, partner and client advisory services leader at Mowery & Schoenfeld. “Business leaders need a partner to help them answer hard questions, so they can ultimately do what’s right for their organization.”
The new report, “Turnaround Accounting Services: Understanding the timing, value, and language of turnaround services before your business is in distress,” includes:
- A simple guide to understanding the lingo of bankers, accountants, and other stakeholders
- The key questions a well-run in-house accounting team should be able to answer to help leaders determine what action they need to take
- An overview of the four-step turnaround process
- Steps to building an effective financial reporting dashboard, including the most critical financial ratios and other important metrics
- A real-world example of how turnaround accounting services helped an industrial services company preserve equity and propel growth
“Asking for support early is a sign of foresight, not failure,” Schoenholtz said. “Reaching out to an accounting turnaround expert before challenges arise can make all the difference in a company’s future.”
