C-LEVEL LEADERSHIP
BOOSTED
Too often, companies find that a lack of senior-level leadership holds them back and hampers their growth.
Hiring a full time CFO to provide the kind of strategic vision necessary to eliminate roadblocks, create opportunities and keep the business moving ahead is out of reach for many small and mid-sized businesses, especially on a full-time basis.
Tarsus was formed over 18 years ago to fill the growing demand of companies that need top-notch, C-level assistance on a less-than-full-time basis. We consistently take complicated situations and deliver clarity and leverage through easy to understand guidance.
Right Hand to the CEO
They say it’s lonely at the top. Tarsus brings true CFO experience to your team. A carefully selected professional interacts with you and your team in an unbiased way to help increase the value of your business. We add strategic and economic value to your business working as an experienced sounding board on complex issues and executing critical tasks and projects.
CFO/Controller 911
From time to time, companies face a crisis situation when a CFO, Controller or key financial staff leaves the company temporarily or suddenly. In these situations, Tarsus can fill the role until your team member returns or until the appropriate search for a replacement can be completed. In addition to aiding during transition issues, our team can assist in other matters that may occur following the abrupt departure of a CFO or Controller. Tarsus has handled the discovery or suspicion of financial mismanagement and time sensitive information requests from lenders, auditors and investors.
Transaction Support
Mergers, acquisitions, exit events, joint ventures, financings and recapitalizations can be overwhelming and absorb a significant amount of your and your management team’s attention. Our transactional expertise guides you during the process, ensuring that your company continues to operate normally while simultaneously accomplishing the desired outcome. We have extensive experience in M&A transaction strategy and execution that can be invaluable in evaluating needs, creating structure options, assisting with negotiations and completing the many aspects of a deal in order to bring about the greatest return for you and your shareholders.
Due Diligence Services
We utilize our deep M&A expertise to deliver financial and business due diligence services to our clients.
