What We Do
Finance, Accounting, CFO, and Turnaround.
Eight disciplines under one roof. Start where the problem is, or let us run the whole function.
The Turnaround Discipline
We are hired to change the direction of a number.
A turnaround is not a lecture. It is a rapid diagnostic, cash stabilisation, a written 90-day plan, and execution alongside the owner. We move a business from red to black, then make sure it stays there.

Operating on a plan that works
Every turnaround is a line that changes direction. Ours is the plan that changes it.

Meet Daniel W. Correa, CPA, PhD
The senior human behind the firm. You speak to him, not a junior handoff.
Daniel W. Correa, CPA, PhD, holds a BBA in Accounting from St. Francis College, New York. He has spent more than 50 years advising owners and boards on the decisions that are too expensive to get wrong. He founded The C2 Group Inc. 30+ years ago to bring senior-level financial leadership to businesses that could not justify a full-time CFO.
"The C2 Promise: you will speak to a senior advisor on every engagement, not a junior handoff."

Free consultation call
A 30-minute call with a senior advisor. You tell us what is going on. We tell you whether we can help and what it would look like.

Representative Engagements
Proof in outcomes, not promises.
Results, not reports.
A Westchester distributor doing roughly $12M in revenue
Situation: Cash had tightened after a rapid expansion. The company's bank line was near its covenant and the owner could not explain why margins had collapsed.
Result: Covenant held. Margins were visible by product line within 60 days. The line was renewed on improved terms within the year.
A professional services firm in Fairfield County, Connecticut
Situation: Two founding partners were negotiating a buyout and could not agree on the value of the firm.
Result: The buyout closed at an agreed value within 90 days. Both partners used the same report, avoiding a contested dispute.
A New York City construction and trades business, $6M revenue
Situation: Month-end took three weeks. The owner ran job profitability off a spreadsheet that never reconciled to the books.
Result: Close time dropped from three weeks to five days. The owner saw real-time job margin for the first time and raised prices on two underperforming lines.
A family-owned manufacturer in Westchester, $8M revenue
Situation: The company needed an SBA loan for equipment but had no financial model and prior projections had been rejected by a lender.
Result: The SBA loan was approved. The owner used the same model for ongoing forecasting after closing.
In Their Words
What owners say after the numbers work again.
"The C2 Group gave us a plan when we were losing money and the bank was at the door. They stabilized the cash, sat with the bank, and we are profitable again."
Owner, Westchester distributor
Representative engagement
"We needed a valuation for a partner buyout and both sides trusted the report. That alone saved us from a fight that would have cost more than the work."
Managing Partner, Professional services firm
Representative engagement
"Our month-end used to take three weeks. The C2 Group rebuilt our systems and now we see job margin in five days. We should have done this years ago."
