The Financial Restructuring Tool Set: How to Fix Your Broken Balance Sheet
Excessive corporate debt can lead to financial distress, which prevents a business from realizing its full potential. When this occurs, a company transforms into a “zombie,” incapable of making essential investments for its future growth or attracting the resources required to execute its business strategy effectively.
In this book, the restructuring veteran Mike Harmon provides an indispensable go-to guide tailored for executives, business owners, boards of directors, creditors, advisors, and investors grappling with financial distress. He equips stakeholders with an invaluable tool kit for mending a company’s fractured balance sheet while demystifying complex techniques and explaining restructuring methods in an accessible fashion.
Readers will acquire the skills needed to detect early warning signs of distress and to formulate a financial restructuring plan that reduces the risk of future trouble. They will learn how an effective plan optimizes the objectives of a company’s various stakeholders, its ability to service future financial obligations, its legal and contractual constraints, and its future prospects and business strategy.
Written for both current and aspiring practitioners, The Financial Restructuring Tool Set is not just a survival guide—it is a blueprint for transformation, empowering stakeholders to achieve a brighter, more prosperous future.

The Financial Restructuring Tool Set: How to Fix Your Broken Balance Sheet by Mike Harmon is an exceptional and deeply necessary guide for the modern corporate landscape.
Harmon does a phenomenal job of taking the highly complex, jargon heavy world of corporate financial distress and translating it into an accessible, step by step masterclass. He masterfully balances the legal, contractual, and strategic pressures facing distressed companies, providing brilliant insights into diagnosing the early warning signs of trouble and restructuring balance sheets before a business becomes a "zombie."
The framework is wonderfully structured and direct, making this book just as valuable for a corporate executive trying to steer a company through a liquidity crunch as it is for an aspiring turnaround consultant or private equity investor looking to maximize portfolio value. This book completely reframes our understanding of debt management, capital structure optimization, and corporate survival. An absolute triumph of financial literature that deserves a permanent spot on every executive's desk!
