About this design
Where the Alvarez & Marsal Style style comes from, and what it signals.
Alvarez & Marsal Style is a restructuring presentation template in the public look of the turnaround firm: uppercase condensed headlines, deep navy #00244a, a brighter #0085ca blue and the amber #cf7f00 the firm's website puts on its calls to action. The slides follow restructuring practice, from a liquidity bridge and a 13-week cash flow forecast to a capital structure stakeholder map and a 100-day plan. Alvarez & Marsal has not licensed or endorsed this homage.
Amber marks the constraint your audience watches: the minimum liquidity covenant, the trough week, the point where enterprise value runs out, the today line on the plan and the board's deadlines. Navy holds totals and actuals, blue holds forecasts and inflows, slate holds outflows. Barlow Condensed stands in for the DIN Next Condensed headlines on the firm's site, Inter replaces Helvetica Neue for body copy, and negatives sit in accounting parentheses.
Use this turnaround deck for lender updates, board meetings near a covenant breach, chief restructuring officer handovers and creditor committee materials. The signature slide is the 13-week cash flow forecast, with a liquidity bar strip on the same column grid as the table, so a lender can find the trough week and the line items behind it in one read.
Use it for
- Lender and creditor updates built around a 13-week cash flow forecast
- Board materials for a company in a turnaround or near a covenant breach
- Chief restructuring officer and interim CFO handover decks
- Liquidity bridges and cash runway analysis for sponsors and lenders
- 100-day plans after a management change or a rescue financing
Skip it for
- Growth strategy readouts for healthy companies; use McKinsey Style or Bain Style
- Sell-side pitches and valuation books; Pitch Book has the football fields and comps tables bankers expect
- Customer reviews of targets, actuals and renewals; use QBR
The presentation design prompt
This is the exact text that gets sent to your AI.
Create a presentation in the 'Alvarez & Marsal Style' theme, an unofficial homage to the turnaround and restructuring deck. Background: white (#ffffff) on content slides; full-bleed navy (#00244a) on the cover and the closing decisions slide. Typography (Google Fonts): titles in 'Barlow Condensed' 600, uppercase, 30px on content slides and 44 to 64px on navy slides, line-height 0.95, navy #00244a, each one a full-sentence takeaway of 14 words or fewer; body, labels and tables in 'Inter' 400/600 at 11 to 18px in #292929. Every number sits in Barlow Condensed, negatives in accounting parentheses such as (12.4), units stated as $M. Under each title runs a one-line 13px sub-line in #525252 naming scope, units and period. Color roles: navy #00244a for totals, actuals and structure; blue #0085ca for forecasts and inflows; slate #8fa3b8 for outflows; #f2f2f2 shading for actual-period columns; #d9d9d9 hairlines; light blue #78d1ff for secondary text on navy. The signature rule: amber #cf7f00 marks the constraint and nothing else, meaning the minimum liquidity covenant as a 2px dashed line, the trough week, the point where enterprise value runs out, the today line on a plan, and decision deadlines. Signature slide: the 13-week cash flow forecast, a total-liquidity bar strip on the same column grid as the table below it; columns W1 to W13 with week-ending dates plus a 13-week total; 'Actual' and 'Forecast' header spans; rows for receipts, disbursements, net cash flow, ending cash, ABL availability and total liquidity; bold totals over 1px navy rules; the trough column tinted #faf0e0 with a 2px amber top. Liquidity bridge: a waterfall with navy totals, slate decreases, blue increases, direct labels, a bracket grouping related drivers and the amber dashed covenant floor. Stakeholder map: the capital structure as a priority stack whose block heights set each stakeholder row (holders, recovery %, position, next step), with an amber line where value breaks. 100-day plan: workstream rows on a day 0 to 100 grid split into Stabilize, Fix and Build phases; completed bars navy, planned bars blue, rotated-square milestones, one amber today line. Closing slide: navy, three dated board decisions with amber Barlow Condensed dates, the approving body and the cash cost of delay. Footer on content slides: a 1px #d9d9d9 rule, a Source or Note line bottom-left in 10px #525252, 'Privileged and confidential. Subject to FRE 408.' and a navy page number bottom-right. Strictly avoid: logos or wordmarks of Alvarez & Marsal, claiming affiliation with the firm, amber as decoration, gradients, drop shadows, rounded cards, rainbow charts, sentence-case or centered titles, minus signs for negatives, stock photos, icons, and data slides without a source line. Use this theme for my slides. Ask me what the presentation is about first, then apply the theme to every slide.View this prompt and its data on GitHub
