At Focustar Advisors, our turnaround approach begins with a deep and thorough review of every financial account to uncover fraud, waste, or mismanagement that may be eroding cash flow and value. Beyond the numbers, we focus on operational vulnerabilities — such as overreliance on one or two key customers or suppliers — that can cripple a business if left unchecked. By combining forensic financial analysis with operational insight, our team develops a clear path to stabilize cash flow, restore confidence, and position the company for sustainable recovery.
