Cash as a weekly instrument
We treat the thirteen-week cash view as a decision tool, not a lender slide. Participants rebuild receipts, supplier terms, and tax timing until the calendar can survive a quiet month.

Restructure the operating company, not the press release.
Siteworkgrid trains directors and finance leads in Business Consulting for Business Restructuring: how to redraw a solvent mandate, speak to creditors without theatre, and keep the payroll week honest.

Flagship program
Board-Led Restructure Studio
Eight weeks of live clinics for Australian directors who already know the numbers are tight and need a method for the next ninety days. You leave with a creditor pack, a cash calendar, and a written mandate the board can actually vote on.
What the work actually changes
Four rooms we keep returning to
A mandate the board can hold
Restructuring fails when the minutes are vague. The studio drafts a one-page mandate: what is in scope, what is frozen, and who may speak to whom.
Creditor language without panic
Australian counterparties notice tone. We practise letters, call scripts, and the pause that keeps a conversation solvent rather than theatrical.
“If the announcement is prettier than the cash calendar, you have a communications project, not a restructure.”
Field notes
How the work felt from the other side of the table
The creditor pack from week four was the first document our bank actually annotated. We still disagreed on covenant headroom, but at least the argument had numbers instead of adjectives.
★★★★☆
Useful, occasionally slow. Mara would not let us skip the payroll waterline even when the landlord wanted a faster story. That friction was the point, I think.
After the first clinic
How a mandate typically runs
Not a funnel. A sequence we keep because it survives contact with real creditors.
- Map. We inventory cash, contracts, and the people who can actually say no.
- Freeze. The board votes a short list of actions that stop while options are drawn.
- Write. One mandate, one cash calendar, one creditor narrative.
- Hold. Weekly clinics until the first ninety days have a named owner.
