Strategic Finance Restructuring and Covenant Scenarios — Consulting Principal

The mandate

Technology finance alternatives are discussed through capital forecasts that do not share consistent operating assumptions. The consultant will build a decision package that makes those alternatives comparable. The defined scope is scenario evidence and option design, not execution or formal legal judgement about available remedies.

The deliverable is a Strategic Finance Restructuring and Covenant Scenario Book with capital bridges, authorised covenant definitions, downside states and option-dependency maps. It must distinguish accounting, contractual and funding consequences. Alternatives will retain unresolved legal, valuation or tax reliance rather than assume that a theoretically attractive restructuring route is immediately executable.

Evidence discovery begins on 19 October 2026 for the six-month project. The restriction and covenant baseline is due on 18 December 2026; tested capital and restructuring modules on 18 February 2027; the fresh-scenario validation and accepted book on 18 April 2027. These three acceptance stages carry 25%, 35% and 40% of the fixed fee.

The CFO and finance strategy sponsor jointly accept work when sampled covenant calculations reproduce from authorised definitions and option assumptions can be traced to evidence. Internal users must apply a new operating shock and identify which option dependencies require retained specialist approval. Acceptance does not depend on a central forecast showing adequate headroom or on a consultant recommending the preferred route.

The sponsor provides facility references, approved product forecasts, capital commitments and access to treasury and legal reviewers. Sensitive terms remain restricted and only authorised interpretations are used. Financing execution, formal valuation, legal representation and permanent organisation changes are excluded; new source reconstruction or material additional options require signed change control with revised tests and dates.

What you will own

• Catalogue capital obligations and authorised covenant definitions with source owners, identifying unsupported interpretations before building the proposed technology restructuring options or downside finance scenario modules.
• Reconcile accounting, cash and contractual headroom under coherent operating states, preventing incompatible definitions or repeated use of uncommitted funding from creating artificial resilience in the decision comparison.
• Construct restructuring alternatives with dependency and approval maps, preserving legal, tax and valuation specialist reliance rather than treating financial modelling as permission to execute an option.
• Define downside shocks through product and operating evidence, showing uncertainty where customer, cost or funding assumptions cannot support a precise scenario or durable forecast conclusion.
• Test the book on adverse and changed-definition cases, recording calculation failures and unresolved interpretation rather than tuning outputs to match the sponsor's preferred capital narrative.
• Validate internal treasury and finance users on a fresh shock, observing whether they preserve retained approvals and recognise the boundary between option design and executable restructuring terms.
• Deliver the accepted scenario book, source dictionary and update triggers with lender negotiation, legal remedies and implementation responsibilities explicitly outside the completed consulting design and acceptance boundary.

Candidate qualifications

• Demonstrate senior strategic finance, treasury or restructuring analysis in technology or a comparable product-services business. Provide a redacted option comparison personally built and identify retained executive and specialist authority. CFO experience is relevant when supported by method; this project does not confer financing execution or legal representation rights.
• Show practical capital structure and covenant judgement connecting accounting, cash and contract definitions. Explain a calculation that appeared sound but used the wrong headroom basis. Candidates must preserve authorised legal and specialist positions accurately and avoid assuming that all finance restructuring alternatives are equally available, reversible or executable.
• Provide reproducible scenario delivery with controlled evidence, objective acceptance and a test that failed under new operating information. Describe rework and reviewer challenge. The sponsor needs a maintainable internal decision book, not a static capital presentation or a model containing unsupported funding promises, hidden manual adjustments or a single favoured central forecast.
• Establish twenty-one years of relevant experience, confidentiality and a completed transfer of finance methods. Disclose lender, investor, bidder and implementation-linked remuneration, avoiding success fees tied to a preferred restructuring outcome. New option scope and substantive reconstruction must be repriced before work, and unresolved specialist dependencies must remain visible at acceptance rather than erased by consultant confidence.
