Clarity When Your Company's Value is on the Line
Kurschner Consulting helps business owners and leadership teams through cash crunches, turnarounds, buying or selling a company and crises. We figure out which numbers matter, make them clear and turn them into a strategy your whole team can get behind.

Why Dale
For more than 30 years, Dale Kurschner has studied companies, their numbers and their strategies. For 24 of those years he was a business journalist, most recently as editor in chief of Twin Cities Business. He covered hundreds of companies through their growth, challenges, setbacks, victories and defeats, dug past the press releases into what was really driving results and explained it clearly to tens of thousands of readers and listeners. Then he spent seven years at Platinum Group, a Minnesota turnaround and transition firm, doing the work himself: financial analysis, turnarounds, sales and helping clients evaluate and then buy or partner with other companies. Getting the numbers right is half the job. Getting people to understand them and act on them is the other half. Dale does both.
If the numbers aren't telling a clear story or the stakes are high, let's talk.
Tell me what's going on. The first conversation is free, it stays confidential and if I'm not the right fit, I'll say so and point you to someone who may be.
