operating advantage

Our Operations Group provides a unique advantage to Gryphon-backed companies. With front-line experience running companies and managing teams, and with proven processes and tools, the team makes immediate, meaningful contributions. We work closely with company CEOs, CFOs and other executives to tackle real-world problems. How do we build and better manage a sales pipeline? How can our finance team reduce the company's days sales outstanding or improve profit margins? For management teams already in a grooved swing, the Operations Group serves as a valued sounding board and conduit of communication so that all team members stay informed and aware.

     
 
  • Pre-Closing. The group works closely with Gryphon's investment professionals in assessing proposed investments and mapping a strategy for smooth operational transition to Gryphon ownership.
  • Start-Up. Our goal is to work with companies to optimize their operations, identify under-leveraged growth opportunities, and pursue strategic acquisitions in a fashion that maximizes the probability of success. Early emphasis is placed on financial and management reporting, comprehensive planning, and upgrading value-added processes.
  • Operating. We work closely with management to track execution of the company's plan, assisting on an as-needed basis on special projects, and providing access to qualified resources, including legal, accounting and other domain-specific consultants.
  • Exit. Our integrated approach helps Gryphon companies maximize shareholder value by establishing achievable financial projections, resolving management succession issues, and ensuring a smooth sale process.
