BDO Consulting Group announced that Nick Welch recently joined the firm’s Business Restructuring and Turnaround Services practice as a Director in the firm’s Miami, Florida office and will primarily cover the Southeast regional markets.
Nick, a seasoned financial advisor, has more than 20 years of experience in professional services and has spent the last nine advising lenders, investors and management teams on debt and operational restructuring strategies as well as on transaction services such as diligence, quality of earnings, sell-side advice and valuation.
Nick has helped senior lenders, private equity groups, family offices and management teams to navigate business challenges and release or create cash flow through debt restructuring, operational improvements and M&A strategy and execution.

His experience spans numerous industries in the U.S. and Europe, including retail, leisure and hospitality, healthcare, renewable energy and fintech.
