    Harnessing the Three C's: Cash, Cost and COGS - A Strategic Blueprint for CFOs

    Alvarez & Marsal's CFO Services team outlines a framework built around three financial levers—Cash, Cost, and COGS—that CFOs should actively manage to improve performance and competitive positioning amid economic uncertainty. On cash, the firm emphasizes direct and indirect forecasting accountability, ERP-driven working capital analytics, and unlocking 'trapped' cash through operational improvements in receivables, payables, and inventory. Cost optimization is framed as a continuous discipline rather than a one-time initiative, requiring leadership alignment, outside-in benchmarking, and digital transformation of processes. COGS management demands granular cross-functional visibility into production inputs, procurement, and inventory systems, with improvements typically yielding longer-horizon margin gains that enable more competitive pricing without quality trade-offs.

    How To "Share" Responsibility in Setting Up Your Own Shared Services Center

    Organizations scaling back- and middle-office operations face a structural choice between outsourcing and building a captive shared services center (SSC). A captive SSC concentrates accountability questions around leadership alignment and internal client relationships, making governance design a critical early decision. Success depends on clearly defining ownership, rules of engagement, and how the SSC interacts with business units — particularly in large organizations where headcount impact is significant. The article outlines frameworks for establishing accountability structures that prevent the common failure modes of captive SSC buildouts.

    Disputes and Investigations

    This page aggregates recent thought leadership from Alvarez & Marsal's Disputes and Investigations practice, covering four distinct topics published in late June and early July 2026. Key outputs include analysis of English Premier League financial regulation overhauls affecting clubs, lenders, and advisers; an examination of how procurement reform, AI convergence, and national security priorities are drawing commercial companies into Defense Industrial Base compliance requirements; recognition of A&M experts in Lexology's 2026 Energy guide; and Chambers and Partners recognition of A&M's Disputes, Cyber Risk, and Reputation Advisory practices. The defense industrial base piece is the most substantive, arguing that commercial organizations face material new obligations as national security procurement expands. No single quantitative finding anchors the collection; the page functions primarily as a capability and recognition showcase.

    Corporate Performance Improvement

    Alvarez & Marsal's Corporate Performance Improvement practice positions the firm as an execution-focused partner for CFOs and senior operators, spanning finance transformation, ESG integration, supply chain, technology enablement, and AI/ML analytics. Recent thought leadership highlights a persistent enterprise AI value gap: MIT's Project NANDA finds 95% of AI pilots deliver zero measurable P&L impact, with A&M attributing failure to organizational design rather than technology. Additional analysis covers telco AI investment outpacing enterprise value creation due to fragmented data and system complexity, and consumer goods valuation research showing revenue growth accounts for roughly two-thirds of multiple differentials, with growth-led earnings valued at twice cost-driven gains. The practice also addresses NetCo/ServCo carve-out structuring, where operating model decisions are characterized as the primary determinant of transaction value.

    Digital

    This is the Alvarez & Marsal Digital practice landing page, not a substantive thought leadership article. It describes four internal service teams — Digital & Technology Services, Business Technology, A&MPLIFY, and Software Technology — and lists 10 managing directors without providing analysis, data, or findings. The page surfaces four recent thought leadership titles covering AI deployment gaps, agentic AI operating models, edge AI, and product/platform IT models, but contains no article-level content. As a navigational hub page, it offers no original thesis, evidence, or actionable insight for enterprise decision-makers.

    Global Valuation Services

    Alvarez & Marsal's Global Valuation Services practice offers independent valuation, financial modeling, and advisory across private credit, structured securities, M&A transactions, disputes, and regulatory compliance. The practice covers asset-backed finance, equity compensation valuation, divorce financial analysis, and government funding strategy, positioning A&M as a broad-spectrum valuation partner. Recent thought leadership spans German and European bank equity valuations—where rate cuts and compressed cost of capital are pushing price-to-book multiples to record levels—and a Spanish energy M&A market that saw a 30% decline in deal volume in 2025 due to grid constraints and price cannibalization in solar. A CFO-focused checklist highlights that over 70% of ERP initiatives miss original goals, urging private equity finance leaders to scrutinize vendors on integration, security, and total cost beyond the demo.
