BDO Saudi Arabia's liquidity, working capital and operational improvement services help underperforming businesses stabilise cash flow, release working capital, reduce costs and implement practical operational changes that support sustainable performance improvement.

We work with management teams, shareholders, lenders and investors where financial or operational pressure requires rapid action and greater visibility over cash, liquidity and business performance.

Our approach combines financial analysis with practical implementation. We help clients identify where cash is tied up, understand the operational drivers of underperformance and translate improvement opportunities into defined actions, owners and timelines.

Where additional sector expertise is required, we can also draw on relevant capabilities across the wider BDO turnaround network.

Working capital and liquidity improvement

Improve cash visibility, release capital tied up in operations and strengthen short-term liquidity.

Working capital can become a critical source of liquidity when a business is under financial pressure. BDO helps organisations assess cash conversion across receivables, inventory and payables and identify practical opportunities to release cash from day-to-day operations.

We also support short-term liquidity and cash flow management, helping management understand funding requirements, cash constraints and the actions available to improve the position.

Turnaround and recovery planning

Turn performance improvement opportunities into a practical recovery plan with clear actions, accountability and timelines.

BDO works with management to identify the financial and operational actions required to stabilise performance and establish a structured turnaround or recovery plan.

Plans are translated into specific initiatives with defined owners, implementation priorities and timelines so management can monitor progress and focus resources on the actions that matter most.

Operational improvement and cost reduction

Address the underlying causes of underperformance and improve the cost base, processes and operating model.

Financial pressure is often linked to broader operational issues. BDO helps organisations identify inefficiencies, review cost structures and assess the operating changes needed to improve business performance.

Our focus is not only on immediate cost reduction, but also on implementing operational improvements that can be sustained after the initial turnaround period.

Cash generation and release of tied-up capital

Identify practical opportunities to generate cash and improve the way capital is used across the business.

BDO helps management identify where cash may be trapped within working capital, non-core assets or inefficient operating processes and assess the actions available to improve cash generation.

This can include improvements in collections, inventory management and supplier terms, as well as assessment of discretionary expenditure, asset disposals and other opportunities to strengthen liquidity.

Debt and business transformation support

Align financial restructuring and operational change where improving performance requires action across both areas.

BDO supports debt restructuring and time-to-pay arrangements where changes to financing are required alongside operational improvement.

We can also support broader business transformation and post-merger integration where improving performance requires changes to processes, cost structures or operating models across the organisation.

Why work with BDO Saudi Arabia?

Performance improvement requires more than identifying where costs can be reduced. Businesses need a clear view of cash, working capital and operational performance, together with practical actions that management can implement.

With BDO, clients gain:

  • A strong focus on cash and liquidity – We prioritise the financial issues that matter most when a business is under pressure, including short-term liquidity, cash generation and working capital.
  • Independent performance analysis – We provide an objective view of financial and operational performance, helping management, shareholders and lenders understand where improvement opportunities exist.
  • Practical implementation – Our work translates analysis into defined actions, responsibilities and timelines rather than stopping at diagnostic recommendations.
  • Financial and operational expertise – We connect working capital, liquidity and financial performance with the operational changes required to sustain improvement.
  • Stakeholder-focused reporting – Clear financial analysis and structured reporting can help management, shareholders and lenders monitor progress and make more informed decisions.
  • Broader restructuring capabilities – Where performance improvement needs to be combined with debt restructuring, transactions or other restructuring measures, clients can access the wider capabilities of BDO's restructuring and advisory teams.
  • Access to sector expertise – Where relevant, BDO Saudi Arabia can draw on specialist knowledge across the wider BDO network to support sector-specific turnaround and operational challenges.
