Step 2 | Financial Restructuring & Cleanup
Correct the structure, so the numbers can be trusted.
Step 2 addresses the priority issues identified in the Financial Readiness Assessment. We restructure the financials so management company activity is clearly separated from owner, guest, tax and other pass-through funds.
What restructuring can include
Scope depends on Assessment findings
Chart of accounts redesign
Separate company revenue and expenses from homeowner funds, guest funds, taxes, deposits and other third-party obligations.
Historical cleanup and reconciliation
Reconcile operating and escrow accounts, correct classifications, support balance-sheet accounts, and restate selected periods when appropriate.
Cash-to-accrual conversion
Establish the correct treatment of revenue, receivables, payables, advance guest payments, prepaid expenses, payroll accruals and liabilities.
Separation of intercompany, affiliated-entity and non-business activity
Isolate personal expenses, shared overhead, owner distributions, and sister-entity transactions so the core operating business stands entirely on its own.
Financial statement restructuring and presentation
Format the P&L and balance sheet according to industry standards, presenting clear gross margins, operating expenses, and adjusted EBITDA.
Documentation improvements for key balances and accounting treatments
Build supporting workpapers, escrow reconciliations, and audit-ready documentation that substantiate critical balance-sheet positions.
What changes
Clear company revenue
Only company-earned revenue reported.
Supported balance sheet
Owner, guest and tax amounts recorded as liabilities.
Proper period matching
Revenue and expenses matched to the period they belong to.
Timeline
Initial restructuring can often be completed in approximately two months, depending on the condition, systems and complexity of the records.
Our approach
The objective of restructuring is not to manufacture higher earnings. It is to accurately separate company activity from pass-through funds and present the true economics of the business.
