Case Study: a PE-owned food and beverage company triples EBITDA with BDO

a PE-owned food & beverage company triples EBITDA to $60 million in 9 months with BDO

A private equity-owned food and beverage company faced significant financial instability and leadership turnover after its long-serving CFO was replaced, and a successor resigned after only three months. The company needed to manage a tight liquidity situation, prepare its annual budget, and handle complex financial issues. The private equity firm hired BDO to provide interim CFO and financial planning and analysis (FP&A) services.

BDO implemented improved financial planning and cost management strategies for the food and beverage company. As a result, BDO helped triple the company's EBITDA from $20 million to over $60 million in just nine months. The solution also increased liquidity, improved the lender relationship, and better positioned the company for a potential exit.
