Our commercial expertise and efficient data-processing instruments provide a basis from which you can define and attain your desired returns. Information that is available at your fingertips sheds light on the factors that are promoting or impeding your business performance. They allow you to react at an early stage and make both operating and strategic decisions to keep your company on track.

The traditional accounting records of a company are not particularly forward-looking. Rather, they are kept to document the past. However, forward-looking planning is a prerequisite for reacting to business challenges at an early stage with the right decisions.

We would be happy to explain the closed planning system of Gehrke Econ to you, how the integrated planning statements work – income statement projections, cash flow statements and balance sheets – the elements of the planning statements and more. Simply contact us by email.

Restructuring and reorganization
Mastering crises with all your might

A corporate crisis can have many causes. Interpreting the first warning signs correctly and in good time is a demanding entrepreneurial task. In order to remain competitive in the future, accurate countermeasures are required. Gehrke Econ supports the management at an early stage.

Root cause analysis
If necessary due to the progress of the crisis, the primary goal in a first step is to achieve short-term stabilization of business operations, in particular liquidity, by means of immediate measures. After weighing up alternative restructuring options, the prioritized restructuring scenario is drawn up jointly. As part of a holistic analysis of the current situation, the causes of the crisis must be fully identified. The results of the analysis form the basis for the subsequent development of the restructuring concept. Throughout the entire process, the active involvement of the current management team as well as key key players in the company is a central element in overcoming the crisis.

Sustainable competitiveness
Restructuring and turnaround means much more than cutting budgets and reducing expenses. Rather, it is a matter of adapting strategy, structures and processes as well as financing modules via defined holistic mission statement measures with the aim of regaining sustainable competitiveness and thus achieving a return to economically viable corporate management.

Implementation support
The special situation makes it necessary to act quickly and consistently when implementing measures, while at the same time maintaining the necessary empathy for the people involved in order to keep everyone motivated. The newly created structures and processes must be made permanent in the sense of early risk detection.

Your personal added value
