Cor Cordis

What Cor Cordis does

Cor Cordis is an independent Australian business advisory firm founded in 2006, headquartered in Melbourne with offices in Sydney, Brisbane, and Perth. The firm operates five interconnected practice areas: Advisory Services, Restructuring & Turnaround, Insolvency Services, Forensics & Investigations, and Valuation Services, supplemented by a Director's Edge sub-brand covering Safe Harbour, Small Business Restructuring, and Voluntary Administration. Services are delivered to companies in financial distress, directors seeking liability protection, creditors pursuing recovery, and individuals facing insolvency, across industries including mining, retail, telecommunications, agriculture, education, and financial services.

The firm's underlying platform is a professionally licensed practitioner model: registered trustees and liquidators operate under statutory regulation in Australia, with the firm holding the necessary credentials to act as voluntary administrator, deed administrator, liquidator, and receiver. Supporting infrastructure includes a creditors portal (creditorsportal.corcordis.com.au) for stakeholder communications during administrations. Technology stack is conventional professional services — no proprietary platforms, APIs, or AI products are disclosed.

Revenue is generated through fees on advisory, restructuring, insolvency, forensics, and valuation engagements, scoped per mandate rather than on a subscription or productized basis. Go-to-market is sales-led and referral-driven, leveraging relationships with legal, accounting, and financial institution counterparties, plus thought leadership content (Federal Budget wraps, insolvency trend insights, private capital commentary) published via the firm's website and LinkedIn. The firm employs 101–250 staff and operates as a partnership with more than ten named partners plus directors and senior managers; CEO is Daniel Juratowitch, and Rachel Burdett serves as ARITA President.
