Experienced Turnaround Executives & Partners

On the ground in 72 hours, not 30 days.

A partner is on-site securing the cash position and opening creditor communication before the full plan exists. The first 72 hours decide how many options you still have.

Every Seat at the Table

We've represented debtors, creditors, and the court itself. So we know what a lender needs to see, what a trustee has to prove, and what an owner needs to hear to make a hard call fast.

One Team,  Start to Finish

The partner who assesses the situation is the partner who executes the plan. No handoff between the advisor and the operator.

Court-Ready by Default

Trustee, Receiver, CRO, Plan Administrator — we've held the role, so filings, reporting, and testimony are built into how we work, not bolted on when a case escalates.

Meet Our Leadership Team

Matt McKinlay

Founding Partner

Matt has spent 24 years inside complex financial and operational distress as a Chapter 11 Trustee, court-appointed Receiver, turnaround advisor, and interim CFO/CEO. He's the steady presence in rooms that have stopped being steady, and his creditor relationships and judicial track record have decided dozens of successful reorganizations. CTP, CMA, MBA from BYU Marriott.

Matt Christensen

President, Turnaround and Restructuring

Matt brings 18 years representing debtors and trustees in receivership and bankruptcy proceedings, with a knack for the creative negotiation that moves a contested matter toward resolution. He has shepherded consensually confirmed plans in some of the region's most complex multi-party cases. CIRA, JD and LLM from Duke Law.

Always Amplify.

We draw on the whole Ampleo bench — finance, valuation, forensic accounting, industry operators — so the right expertise shows up on day one instead of month two.

Manage What Matters.

In the first 72 hours, that means cash, creditors, and immediate operational risk. Everything else waits.

Progress Over Perfection.

A good decision today beats a perfect one after the cash runs out. We move on the facts we have and update as we learn.

Listen and Learn.

We start by asking, not prescribing. Owners, lenders, and employees each know something the financials don't show.

Experts Without Egos.

Chaos doesn't need another strong personality. It needs someone who brings order and gives credit to the team that earns it.

Operate Like Owners.

We've run the businesses, not just advised them. We make the calls we'd make if the balance sheet were ours.
