Situation

A pharmaceutical company experiencing significant turnover within its accounting team needed immediate support to stabilize its finance function. The company had not produced complete financial statements or reconciled its cash accounts since 2022, creating a significant historical backlog and limited visibility into its financial position.

At the same time, the company needed to reconcile and support reporting for a $30M+ grant while managing liquidity and an ongoing capital raise.

MMG was engaged to provide both hands-on accounting leadership and CFO-level financial support.
