A trusted restructuring and risk advisory partner for accounting firms.
Accountants are often the first professionals to identify when a client’s business is experiencing financial pressure.
Cash flow constraints, creditor pressure, taxation arrears or declining performance can place accountants in difficult advisory positions, particularly where the situation extends beyond traditional accounting or tax advice.
Restr works alongside accountants to provide specialist restructuring and risk advisory support when a client requires assistance navigating financial distress.
Our objective is to support both the client and the referring accountant, while preserving the integrity of the existing professional relationship.
Many of these situations develop gradually before becoming critical.
When financial pressure escalates, accountants may face situations that often require specialised restructuring experience, negotiation strategies and practical intervention.
Restr provides independent restructuring support that complements the work of the client’s accountant. We focus on stabilising the situation and developing practical pathways forward.
When Accountants Typically Refer Clients
Accounting firms typically engage Restr when early signs of financial pressure emerge and the situation requires more specialised intervention.
This often includes situations where a client is experiencing:
Ongoing cash flow pressure or difficulty meeting obligations as they fall due
Increasing creditor demands or strained supplier relationships
ATO or taxation arrears that are continuing to build
Deteriorating financial performance or loss of trading stability
Directors expressing concern regarding solvency, risk exposure or the future of the business
Increased reliance on the accountant for guidance beyond traditional accounting or tax advisory
These situations often develop progressively before becoming critical.
Early engagement allows for an objective assessment of the financial position, stabilisation where possible, and the development of structured options before the range of available outcomes narrows.
Why Accountants Work With Restr
When financial pressure begins to escalate, situations can quickly move beyond traditional accounting and tax advisory.
Accountants are often placed in positions where they are managing client urgency, navigating increasingly complex stakeholder dynamics, and being asked to provide guidance that may extend beyond their professional scope or risk profile.
Restr works alongside accountants to provide specialist restructuring and risk advisory support in these circumstances.
Our role is to:
Provide practical, hands-on restructuring expertise in complex or distressed situations
Relieve the immediacy and pressure placed on the accountant
Manage creditor negotiations and sensitive stakeholder communication
Support directors through complex and time-critical decisions
Introduce structure and control where situations may otherwise escalate
Protect the accountant’s relationship, reputation and professional standing
We operate as an extension of the accountant’s advisory team, ensuring the client receives the specialist support required while allowing the accountant to remain focused on their core role.
A Referral Partner You Can Trust
Restr recognises that the accountant’s relationship with their client is both valuable and carefully built over time.
Our role is not to replace the accountant, but to provide specialist restructuring and risk advisory support where situations extend beyond traditional advisory scope.
We work alongside accountants to:
Support clients through periods of financial distress and uncertainty
Manage creditor negotiations and complex stakeholder engagement
Develop and implement structured restructuring strategies
Stabilise businesses where financial pressure is impacting performance
Engagements are conducted in a collaborative and considered manner, with ongoing communication to ensure the referring accountant remains informed and appropriately involved throughout.
Our approach is designed to complement the accountant’s role, protect the integrity of the client relationship, and ensure continuity of trusted advice.
How We Work
With Accounting Firms
Every situation is different. Our role typically involves working alongside the referring accountant to assess the circumstances and identify practical options available to the business.
This may include reviewing the financial position, assisting with creditor discussions, or supporting directors in understanding restructuring pathways.
The objective is to bring clarity to the situation while supporting both the accountant and their client through a complex and often time-critical period.
