What is Business Turnaround?

When a company experiences a lower-than-expected profit or increased expenses, it can be detrimental to the business as a whole – and frequently results in a significant loss. In such cases, it can be incredibly hard for a company to pull themselves out of this situation. Business Turnaround Accounting (also known as Turnaround Management) is a way to turn a failing business into a successful one again. Using methods such as management review and SWOT analysis, it’s easy to highlight exactly where the problems within the business lie. It presents you with a well-structured plan to bring your company out of solvency, and increase your profits immensely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here at Nordens, we understand that Business Turnaround Accounting can seem overwhelming. In fact, we receive questions every single day regarding the matter. Here, we answer some of the most common ones.


Business Turnaround Accounting is the method of turning a failing company, due to profit loss for example, back into a successful one. Methods such as management reviews and SWOT analysis are used to identify any issues within your company, both glaringly obvious and hidden ones. These reports are then analysed and used to put together a solid, strategic plan to drag your businesses out of the gutter and start increasing your profits from the get-go.


If your business is struggling, it will stay struggling until you fix key issues – whether you start making a profit again or not. Though it is possible to drag yourself out of the dirt on your own, you leave yourself open to making the same mistakes and end up falling once again. Business Turnaround Accounting identifies all the problems that affect your company, both big and small, and provides you with a plan to ensure you never make them again.


Though it’s usually fairly obvious a company is failing, that’s not always the case. Despite a decline in profitability, there a few other reasons that signify it’s time for you to reach out to us. If your market share is decreasing, you show a heavy reliance on debt or you’re failing to invest your profits back into your company – it’s time to get help!


You cannot put together a short, five-minute plan if you want to ensure long term success for your company, it requires time and thorough planning. Once the problems within your business are diagnosed, a Business turnaround account manager will then create a step-by-step plan to implement into your usual business strategy. Though it’s a lengthy document, it should be easy to understand after proper communication – and available to use straight away!


The implementation of a Business turnaround plan also requires a frequent review process. Not only does this show whether or not the plan was successful, but it’s also a sure-fire way to spot any problems in it that do require extra attention, so you can customize the existing plan further. This ensures continuous improvement for your business and prevents you from facing another loss.

  Why I Founded Nordens
Accounting 2 You

In November 2002, having sold our other business interests off earlier in the year, I decided to set up Nordens Chartered Accountants. The easy part was knowing how to do it, as I had established and built a smaller practice a few years earlier. The difficult part, for me, was not following the traditional accountancy path. Having run businesses, both successfully and unsuccessfully, I wanted to help business owners resolve their short term problems and work with them to achieve their longer term goals. Business has always been my interest and I love that I can help business owners achieve what seems like the impossible every single working day.
