Alvarez & Marsal can anyone speak to the PEPI - CFO services group? Is it a bunch of accounting or do you do a lot of data analytics/financial analysis? What’s groups avg utilization? How often you travel post covid? Group growing?

I’m not in the group, but it’s really more about performance improvement in the finance department. Better reporting / fp&a, faster month end closes, non-inventory working capital improvements, etc. Many of these business were family owned and don’t have the infrastructure in place to give their PE sponsors the information they need on a timely basis.

Utilization has been high historically and extremely high during covid. Definitely growing, doubled last year.

Any idea if this group travels as much as the other PEPI ones? Figure it may but oddly the job description didn’t list travel requirements like the other PEPI ones do. Also with covid changes maybe travel won’t be as much in the post covid world?

Anybody else?

Been with a girl for few months, really enjoyed moments that we shared together and barely got into any fights. But, somehow somewhat, I don’t see that we share the same vision in our career path.

I like her personality a lot but I feel like really hard to share interesting topics/ my works with her. Any advice please?
