Achieved long-lasting results
When the owners of Pesznecker Brothers, Inc. called Renee, the 36-year-old manufacturing company with nationwide sales had been losing money for three years and had overdrafts at the bank. The current ratio was .64; liquidation ratio of assets to liabilities was .37. The company’s financial records were inaccurate and out-of-date. The staff was poorly trained and disorganized, and the IRS was threatening a forced shut-down.
Renee was referred by the Special Assets Department of the company’s lender.
