In today’s dynamic, fast-paced and challenging global economy, companies need exceptional talent, on demand, and from a firm they can trust. NextLevel provides these solutions through interim executives, fractional management, and project-based consulting.
We deliver a range of C-suite financial and operational management and Board expertise with team members who are each thoroughly vetted, highly respected, and deeply experienced in managing challenging, mission-critical situations. We align skill sets, experience and other intangibles to address your unique needs and culture, and structure engagements with flexible periods and terms to match the scope and complexity of each assignment.
Accelerate key initiatives. Improve competitive positioning. Reduce risk.
LEADERSHIP & GOVERNANCE
A leadership gap in any business is a risky situation, and resource constraints can hinder progress on critical initiatives. Rapid growth, resignations, reorganizations, acquisitions, and regulatory changes can create an immediate need for executive leadership to help ensure your business will continue to meet its strategic and financial goals. Our interim C-level leaders and Controllers have the cross-industry expertise and strategic experience to navigate the fiercest challenges.
BUSINESS TRANSITION LEADERSHIP & EXECUTIVE SEARCH
Privately held or publicly traded. Change, evolution, or disruption. We offer a complete solution:
- Our interim executive leaders focus on companies in transition across every market and industry. Leadership vacancy. Rapid growth and scalability challenges. Acquisitions and integration. JV restructuring and implementation. Domestic or international expansion. Preparation for sale or recapitalization. Equity or debt financings. Unacceptable business risks. Restructuring. Operational and margin inefficiencies. Divestiture management. Generational transitioning. Our solutions are transformative and scalable.
- Most interim engagements are designed to culminate with a permanent hire. One month into the engagement, our interim executive will share observations about the role with you and, with your approval, with our in-house Executive Search team for purposes of building the ideal candidate specification. A search can then be launched to identify top candidates in the marketplace to fill the permanent position. After the final candidate is selected, 2-4 weeks of overlap with the interim executive would be built into the plan to allow for a seamless transition.
PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT
NextLevel’s performance management services maximize your operational efficiencies to ensure your teams, procedures, and critical functions are operating completely optimized. We strategically assess your business to uncover more ways to increase profitability and scale your infrastructures. Looking for TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS? We can deliver. Looking for OPERATIONAL SUPPORT? We handle that, too.
DESIRED STATE ROADMAPS
Our Desired State Roadmaps are focused on five common business challenges:
- Financial function
- Growth through acquisition
- Strategy execution
- Building value pre-exit
- Cyber resilience
In a short, two-to-three week engagement we develop a high-level roadmap that provides clarity as to a practical, executable approach to meeting your company’s strategic, financial, and operational objectives.
We needed an interim CFO who could hit the ground running and bring process and discipline with limited oversight to turn around one of our underperforming divisions. NextLevel delivered exactly what we needed, a seasoned CFO who brought focus, process and discipline, was a good fit with our culture and was instrumental in driving change and improving results.”
NextLevel provided us with highly skilled CFO-level project leadership during a time of exciting growth at Papa Murphy’s. This allowed us to advance key initiatives without missing a beat. The executive leadership and expertise of NextLevel was a great benefit to Papa Murphy’s. Highly recommended.
NextLevel was a tremendous resource for us at a period of critical need. They hit the ground running with a very flexible approach to rapidly assess and address the challenges we were facing with proven financial executive leadership. Their approach was truly as a “C-suite” partner to me in successfully leading the achievement of meaningful, time-sensitive
objectives and positioning us for a very positive future. I would not hesitate to use Next Level again or to recommend them to others.
NextLevel played a critical leadership role in addressing a significant strategic growth initiative for our company. Although working on a project basis, they integrated well at all levels of the company from the Board and executives to our team of employees. They demonstrated expertise in international corporate partnerships, strategic thinking, organizational development, financial management, operational excellence, critical thinking, risk analysis and competitive analysis. NextLevel was a huge asset to our organization.
After a start-up period of very rapid growth, Tepa turned to NextLevel for input on operational efficiencies, margin enhancement and general strategic direction. NextLevel brought in great talent and worked closely with our board and executive team to identify strategies to strengthen performance. Their insights allowed us to quickly determine a path forward to better align and improve operational effectiveness and enhance our bottom line. I highly recommend NextLevel.
Seattle Repertory Theatre strives to center theatre at the heart of public life. In order to achieve this ambition, we needed a strategic plan to provide a clear, executable path forward that aligned with, and respected, our mission, vision, and values. NextLevel supported our senior team in developing this plan by providing critical leadership, guidance, and financial modeling expertise. It was a huge investment of time and energy for our entire organization and NextLevel stayed with us through every inevitable up and down during the process. We are thrilled to now have a framework for economic sustainability which fully supports our artistic vision. As a staff, we’ve also built an understanding and skill of this work through our engagement with NextLevel that we can take with us moving forward. Based on my experience, I would highly recommend NextLevel to other organizations preparing to embark on a similar strategy development journey.
