Independent, Objective Advice for Treasury & Capital Market Needs
We work with clients across the country to provide balance sheet advisory solutions. Our goal is to help clients achieve best-practice integration between balance sheet resources and their strategy, operations, finance, and capital funding needs.
We recognize that there are fundamental trade-offs between cost, flexibility, and risk, whether it be liquidity needs, the cost of debt instruments, expectations for investment returns, or optionality associated with real estate structures. Our team employs analytical resources to help you make sound decisions about capital formation, knitting together expertise about capital management; debt and derivative advisory; real estate capital markets; strategic resource allocation; treasury operations; and invested asset strategy.
Once these key decisions have been made, Kaufman Hall can also provide industry-leading execution.

Note to Clients
Avoiding Default Doesn’t Mean Avoiding Limitations
Some covenants may provide a two-year window before default occurs, but significant limitations can apply if a ratio or other threshold is not met in year one.
Balance Sheet Performance Advisory Solutions
Credit & Capital Management
We provide assistance in evaluating potential sources of capital, assessing your organization’s debt and credit capacity, and making the right capital structure decisions for long-term success. We also work with clients to manage covenant challenges or restructure existing obligations. Our strategies and tactics position our clients to maintain access to external capital funding channels at some of the most attractive terms available in the market.
Debt and Derivative Advisory
Capital markets are complex and dynamic. Our experienced staff will work with you to determine your organization’s specific financing needs and develop the right approach to accessing external funding channels. We serve as your advocate throughout the execution process to identify and execute on the best available transaction terms.
Invested Asset Strategy
Our experienced team will help you establish a clear and well-articulated role for your organization's investments and design a best-practices investment platform. Our work helps enhance the efforts of your investment advisory team by validating your organization's approach to deploying invested assets.
Investment Management
Kaufman Hall Investment Management (KHIM) focuses on creating customized investment solutions for each client. Instead of offering a set choice of fixed income investment products, we work with clients to determine their specific goals, objectives, constraints and liquidity preferences. Our core competencies help clients achieve solid strategic and financial principles that set expectations for the performance of invested assets.
Real Estate Capital Markets
Our real estate capital markets team can help you comprehensively understand your real estate financing options and enhance the performance of your real assets. We develop coordinated perspectives about the strategic, financial, and operational aspects of a real estate portfolio. We can catalog owned and leased real estate assets to determine whether the real estate portfolio is performing well. We work with clients to access external funding channels focused on real estate investment.
Strategic Resource Allocation
Our team leads you through a process of establishing and maintaining a decision support framework called Strategic Resource Allocation which dynamically connects the deployment of financial resources with claims on those resources that exist across the organization’s operations, strategy, capital and liabilities. The risk-balanced approach is designed to position resources appropriately to both protect and advance the organization’s mission.
Treasury Operations
We partner to help improve treasury operations structure and take a more strategic approach to managing the treasury operations function. Identify ways to automate manual processes, determine the right mix of credit and banking services at the right cost and terms, optimize existing banking relationships for success, and leverage the best treasury technologies available in the market.
