Description

Alvarez & Marsal (A&M) is a premier independent global professional services firm specializing in providing turnaround management, restructuring, performance improvement and corporate advisory services.

The Healthcare Industry Group (HIG), a subsidiary of A&M, is an established leader known for delivering tangible results for healthcare c-suite executives, boards, private equity firms, investors, law firms and government agencies that are facing complex challenges. We are at the forefront of delivering transformational change to the healthcare industry. Our professionals advise our clients on financial, operational and market performance by assessing all aspects of their operations and providing comprehensive services, including analyzing revenue and financial information, conducting process reviews, identifying key business drivers, and managing risk and compliance issues. HIG also provides services such as revenue cycle management, mergers and acquisitions, compliance and regulatory, information technology and interim management.

We are not your typical consulting firm. We are a group of entrepreneurial, results-oriented professionals who take a hands-on approach to solving our clients' problems. Our key differentiation in the marketplace is the combination of "know-how" and "do-how".

HIG's Healthcare Services practice (HCS), with offices throughout the US, focuses on serving private equity firm's portfolio companies and public and private healthcare companies. Our HCS services include performance improvement/operational turnarounds, cost optimization, M&A services, finance operations, and interim management

• 
  M&A Services: A&M supports companies throughout the M&A lifecycle, including conducting operational/synergy due diligence, integration planning and execution, as well as divestiture and carve-out planning and execution.


• 
  Performance Improvement/Operational Turnaround: Whether serving in interim management roles or in a performance improvement advisory capacity, we draw on deep operational heritage and proven approaches (such as our proprietary rapid results diagnostic) to assess businesses and identify key areas impeding performance quickly and effectively.


• 
  Cost Optimization: A&M's cost optimization program is a holistic, cross-functional approach that focuses on quickly identifying high-impact opportunities for EBITDA and cash flow improvements across the entire cost structure. A&M's cost optimization focuses on driving significant improvements in cost structure by providing full transparency on cost and margin profiles to simplify and streamline the business and increase the efficiency of overhead costs.


• 
  Finance Operations: A&M drives improvement to its clients' finance operations, including management reporting and optimization of the month-end close process.


• 
  Interim Management: In select instances, one of HCS's experienced operators may step into an interim role (i.e. CEO, COO, CFO) to drive change while a full-time replacement is being recruited.
