The Financial Advisory Team at Teneo
Teneo’s global Financial Advisory business advises corporates, creditors and other financial stakeholders in situations of financial stress and distress. No two situations are the same. Our advice and approach is tailored to each situation and each client. At Teneo, we believe such occurrences present new opportunities for our clients. Opportunities to restore value, raise new capital, pivot in a new direction and ultimately, identify certainty amidst chaos. Teneo partners with clients to find viable opportunities that will protect and enhance value and help them to build strategies that will most benefit their business and/or investment goals. Integrating the disciplines of financial advisory, management consulting, investor relations, strategic communications, government affairs, risk analysis and talent advisory, Teneo’s global Financial Advisory team guides companies and their stakeholders through periods of uncertainty and stress. We help address the challenges a business faces, whether that is targeted performance improvement to Financial Advisory, or delivering a route to recover value, our focus is delivering certainty from uncertainty.
This represents a truly exciting time for the Financial Advisory team. Following the sale of the Deloitte UK Restructuring business to Teneo in June 2021, the Financial Advisory business continues to grow across multiple disciplines and international locations. The Cayman and BVI Financial Advisory teams were acquired from KPMG in the Cayman Islands and the BVI in January 2022, and the Bermuda Financial Advisory team was acquired in March 2022. These teams are managed as a single practice across the region and our growth will provide fantastic opportunities to rapidly develop your career on a structured path.
