Who We Help

Corporations and shareholders engage our team of professionals to deal with adversity and restructure their financial affairs.

Banks and other lenders (including asset based lenders, private equity firms, and hedge funds) engage us to deal with underperforming loans or investments.

Law firms engage us to provide financial expertise, strategic guidance and crisis management services to their clients in financial difficulty.

Accounting firms refer their clients to Farber Financial Group when they do not provide insolvency services in-house, or have a conflict of interest. Since we do not offer accounting, audit or tax services, we are able to work in partnership with other accounting firms for the benefit of their clients.

Corporate Restructuring & Insolvency

Farber Financial Group helps corporations and lenders through tough times.

In today’s challenging and competitive environment, businesses face many adverse situations, including:

  • Negative market conditions;
  • Deteriorating relationships with lenders or landlords
  • Shareholder disputes
  • Fraudulent activity

Our solutions are tailored to each situation and include:

Filing under the Companies Creditor Arrangement Act ("CCAA") or filing a Proposal under the Bankruptcy & Insolvency Act ("BIA")

A filing under one of these statutes creates "breathing room" for a company and its advisors to formulate a restructuring plan. We help reposition the company for survival, attract new capital, sell non-strategic business units or redundant assets, or add management expertise and assist in communicating the plan to creditors and other stakeholders. We may also act as Chief Restructuring Officer ("CRO") when management requires assistance in implementing the plan.

Formal insolvency engagements

We act as a Court Appointed or Privately Appointed Receiver or Interim Receiver or as Trustee in Bankruptcy. We work towards an orderly sale or wind-down of the business, maximizing the value of the assets.

Turnaround Management - rehabilitating under-performing organizations and saving troubled companies, by returning them to profitability

Our Turnaround Management practice draws from a network of turnaround experts to advise and implement financial and/or operational turnaround strategies. Our Corporate Finance group assists with divestures or the task of raising additional financing to continue operations.

Distressed financial advisory services

Decisive and early action are required in order to survive and thrive and a specialized approach is required to respond to these challenges. We have a long and successful track record in providing a range of Distressed Financial Advisory Services, including:

  • Strategy and business planning
  • Re-capitalize or refinance
  • Distressed mergers, acquisitions and sale of assets
  • Restructuring

Forensic accounting and fraud investigations

We examine and analyze business records to uncover a fraud and to trace and recover assets which are the proceeds of crime. In many cases these services are performed in our capacity as Court-Appointed Receiver or Trustee in Bankruptcy. We often also provide evidence as part of ongoing legal proceedings and have extensive experience in fraud investigations spanning multiple international jurisdictions.

Farber Financial Group has a long history of success in helping distressed companies rebuild their operations and maximize value for all stakeholders.
