Financial Planning and Analysis Case Study

This case study details the engagement of a private equity-backed global educational travel company that faced challenges with liquidity and required a reliable 13-week cash flow model to secure additional funding. The existing financial model was inadequate to meet investor requirements, and the internal financial planning and analysis (FP&A) team lacked the capacity to enhance it while managing daily operations. Alliance was engaged to provide a dedicated financial analyst to rebuild the cash flow model, ensuring the client had visibility into its liquidity position. The solution included a comprehensive rebuild of the cash flow model, enhanced reporting and analytics, and strategic liquidity planning. The outcomes included maintaining operational continuity during the liquidity crisis, securing a cash infusion from the private equity sponsor, and reducing liquidity risk through improved forecasting accuracy. Collaboration with various departments ensured alignment and accuracy in reporting.
