The O’Connor Group, Inc. Celebrates Ten Years of Business

August 30, 2009

The O’Connor Group celebrates ten years of operations, providing general business improvements or complete work outs and turnarounds to dozens of clients over the past decade.

James O’Connor, CEO, founded The O’Connor Group, Inc. in 1999 to provide his clients with the kind of care and service needed in the market place as firms found themselves faced with unexpected difficulties in managing and sustaining their businesses. Previously O’Connor worked in public accounting where he became specialized in serving distressed companies. As O’Connor honed his skills in this arena he developed a sense for how to best serve his clients in a more responsive and personalized manner.

Large companies providing services to distressed companies often develop a “one size fits all” approach and send the more junior team members on site to do the bulk of the work with more senior experienced staff only visiting periodically. These firms also carry very heavy fees to accommodate their staffing models. O’Connor felt he could add more direct value for firms, with less infrastructure and cost passed on to the client.

After incorporating in 1999 O’Connor recruited experienced associates and has been helping one company after another navigate through their particular business challenges. 2009 has brought economic difficulties to a number of businesses and has also made board members and bankers aware that normal, day-to-day, business management experience is insufficient to handle the challenges of a severe downturn in market economics for some companies.

O’Connor and his team each have over twenty years of business experience serving distressed companies, providing an entirely different perspective and ability to make clear work of the situation at hand. The O’Connor Group’s client-focused model will continue to prevail for decades to come.
