In addition to the new business processes Novo Advisors put into place, they eliminated several unprofitable contracts. Prior management couldn’t do the financial analysis required to identify where contracts were at and the other related expenses, such as insurance costs, which meant those services were being provided at a loss. They also re-negotiated contracts causing the company stress.

Novo Advisors thinks about your situation as if it is their own. They’re always thinking, seven days a week. They are great at cutting to the chase, and narrowing down what needs to be accomplished. That capacity makes them very valuable — it enables me to trust them to handle very complex situations.”

Listening is our strength
At Novo Advisors, listening always comes first. Though we know that time is of the essence and the need to work quickly is critical, complex problems can’t be solved unless first understood. We ask questions — tons of them. We look at numbers and data — lots of it. This includes financial, operational, sales, dashboards and KPIs. Then, we ask even more questions until we gain a solid understanding of the business and situation. We don’t make assumptions and don’t give canned answers.
Choose an advisor that really can assess the situation, understand it, and be specific and concrete about actions that need to be taken by management and the Board sooner rather than later — so you have more time to control the narrative and your own destiny, before you lose control of it.”
