Nexpert

What Nexpert does

Nexpert AG is a Hamburg-based restructuring and turnaround consulting firm founded in 2008 that serves mid-to-large enterprises in crisis, transformation, or growth phases. Its core offering is professional services spanning the full turnaround lifecycle: certified Sanierungsgutachten under IDW S6, solvency assessments under IDW S11, independent business reviews (IBR), plan validation, bank moderation, transformation concepts, turnaround management, change management, interim management, CRO placement, and strategy and business-model development. Clients typically have revenues between roughly €60M and €600M and workforces of 350 to 1,450+ employees, spanning retail (outdoor, fashion, adult e-commerce), manufacturing (laboratory systems, wire products), automotive (recycling), and other industries, with case studies including a €600M recycling company subject to US Chapter 11 proceedings.

The firm has built a proprietary, cloud-based tool stack that complements its consulting work, including the factbook BI system (ERP and financial-accounting data warehouse with proprietary algorithms for correlation analysis and KPI dashboards), tascbook (project management implementing Nexpert's ZAKK method with proactive KPI alerts), aimely (an AI/ML scenario-planning tool for pricing, churn, and inventory simulations), and a Liquiditätstool providing rolling 21-day/13-week liquidity planning and continuous insolvency monitoring. These tools are integrated with common ERP and financial-accounting systems and, notably, are provided free of charge to clients during concept phases, creating implementation leverage and mild switching costs.

Nexpert generates revenue through project-based professional-services mandates typically running 12 to 24 months, with pricing determined by scope, duration, and team composition rather than disclosed publicly. Distribution is direct: enterprise sales initiated through referrals from banks, lenders, and financial institutions, plus inbound inquiries from distressed companies. The firm employs approximately 55 professionals organized around seven managing partners, operating from four German offices (Hamburg, Düsseldorf, Munich, Münster) while executing mandates across DACH and selectively into the US, China, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Nexpert remains privately held and partner-owned with no external funding rounds disclosed.

Direct peers

• goetzpartners: Munich-headquartered boutique advisory with restructuring, transformation and corporate finance practices serving mid-market German and European clients. Closely comparable to Nexpert in terms of DACH mid-market focus, hands-on implementation approach, and project profile.
• Alvarez & Marsal: Global restructuring and turnaround specialist known for CRO/interim management placements and distressed situation advisory. Direct competitor to Nexpert's CRO and turnaround services, with overlapping client profile of distressed mid-to-large enterprises.
• FTI Consulting: Global restructuring and turnaround advisory with strong European practice providing interim management, lender advisory, and transformation services. Directly comparable in service mix, especially around distressed mid-market and CRO-style engagements.
• Houlihan Lokey: Independent global investment bank with a market-leading restructuring advisory practice. Competes with Nexpert on independent business reviews, lender-side and debtor-side restructuring advisory for mid-market and large-cap clients.

Broad incumbents

• Roland Berger: Major German-headquartered strategy and restructuring consultancy. While much larger and broader than Nexpert, its restructuring practice targets the same DACH mid-to-large enterprise client base on turnaround and transformation mandates.
• Deloitte (Germany Restructuring): Big-4 firm with a large German restructuring practice handling Sanierungsgutachten, IBR, and insolvency-related work. Competes with Nexpert on turnaround mandates, though generally with broader but less hands-on delivery.
• McKinsey & Company (Recovery & Transformation Services): Global top-tier consultancy with a dedicated Recovery & Transformation Services practice. Competes for Sanierungsgutachten-style work and large transformation programs, though typically with report-led rather than implementation-led delivery.
• KPMG (Germany Restructuring): Big-4 German restructuring practice providing independent business reviews, plan validation, and CRO services. Targets the same mid-market distressed client pool and is a visible competitor on bank-referred mandates.
• Boston Consulting Group (Turnaround & Restructuring): Global strategy consultancy with a turnaround and restructuring practice serving large European corporates. While positioned differently than Nexpert (strategy-led, larger engagements), it competes for high-end transformation mandates in the same buyer pool.

Regional players

• Plenitude Consulting: German restructuring and interim management boutique serving mid-market firms in distress. Comparable in size, service offering (CRO/interim, Sanierungsgutachten), and DACH regional footprint to Nexpert.
