La situación

J.S. Held was retained as financial advisor by a $17M family-owned walnut grower facing significant financial and operational challenges. The company was operating under a lender forbearance agreement with $20M in debt and declining performance. Its revolving line of credit had been frozen due to concerns about financial reporting and cash flow visibility.

Nuestro asesoramiento

Our team helped management improve financial reporting, enhance lender communications, and develop actionable short- and long-term cash flow forecasting capabilities. Through these efforts, the company restored lender confidence by demonstrating improved financial discipline and reporting rigor.

The grower successfully refinanced its debt with the existing lender, exited forbearance, regained access to its revolving line of credit, and entered the critical harvest season with renewed working capital and a significantly stronger financial foundation to support future growth. To further strengthen the organization's financial infrastructure, our team helped recruit and hire a part-time controller to maintain effective financial reporting and lender communications moving forward.

  • Advised on cash management and expense prioritization to preserve liquidity
  • Supported refinancing with the existing lender and the company’s exit from forbearance, helping restore access to the revolver

Remedied an under-resourced internal finance function:

  • Assessed financial reporting needs and defined the required role
  • Assisted in the recruitment and hiring of a part-time controller
  • Established practices to sustain reporting rigor and lender communications going forward
