WORKING HARDER
NO LONGER WORKS.

Strategic advisory for business owners and business families who need to leave improvisation behind, organize their decisions, and build a structure able to sustain growth, stability, and legacy.

( 01 )

From improvisation to governance.From urgencyto predictability.

The practical extension of the book

It is rarely a lackof hard work.It is a lack of structure.

01

The company sells, but cash stays tight

Revenue grew but profitability didn't keep up. There is no clarity on margin, costs, or break-even, and management starts running on gut feeling.

02

Everything depends on you

Decisions are made under pressure and all of them go through the founder. The company can't stand on its own without your daily presence.

03

Personal and business finances blend together

Withdrawals without criteria, personal expenses on the company, personal guarantees given. The family's assets answer for the business's risk.

04

Succession never becomes a decision

There is no continuity plan, partners lack clear rules, and the next generation has not been prepared. Time ends up deciding alone.

The VIRADA Method

V

Visibility

Understand the current reality: the numbers, the risks, and the bottlenecks no one is looking at.

I

Identification

Separate symptom from cause. Define which are the real problems and which are the true priorities.

R

Reorganization

Review finances, processes, structure, responsibilities, and decision criteria.

A

Alignment

Connect company, owner, family, wealth, and purpose, so one doesn't destroy the other.

D

Direction

Build the plan and the execution roadmap, with owners, deadlines, and indicators.

A

Accountability

Measure results, review decisions, and consolidate the change until it sustains itself.

( 04 )

Three paths.One at a time.

01

Ponto da Virada Diagnosis

An initial, in-depth analysis of the company, the owner, and the areas of greatest vulnerability. For those who don't know where to start, have several problems at once, or need an outside view. Ends with an executive report and a 90-day action plan.

02

Strategic Advisory

A project with a clear beginning, middle, and end to address one or more priority areas: planning, financial reorganization, restructuring, professionalization, separation of personal and business affairs, governance, or succession. 60 to 180 days, depending on complexity.

03

Ongoing Advisory for the Owner

Recurring meetings to follow decisions, priorities, and execution. It is neither therapy nor coaching: it is a structured space to analyze, decide, follow up, and be held accountable. Monthly or quarterly.

( 05 )

Not talk.Deliverables.

What stays in your hands

( 06 )

Who it is for

  • Owners who grew, but whose structure didn't keep up
  • Companies under constant cash pressure
  • Those who centralize too much and became the bottleneck of their own business
  • Those who mix personal and business funds
  • Business families organizing wealth, governance, and succession

What the advisory is not

  • It is not therapy or legal advice
  • It does not replace your accountant, lawyer, or investment advisor
  • It does not guarantee financial results
  • It does not manage cash or execute transactions
  • It offers no ready-made formulas

MARIODE ALENCAR

Entrepreneur, manager, and writer, with experience in business, wealth management, corporate structuring, and real estate investment. Author of O Ponto da Virada.

Discretion

What enters this room
does not leave it.

The work involves numbers, partnerships, and family. That is why the number of companies served is limited, and no name, case, or result is ever used as public material.

( 08 )

How it starts,step by step.

The form below is not a signup: it is the initial reading of your company and the screening instrument. Filling it in does not guarantee engagement or an immediate seat. The more precise you are, the more useful the introductory call will be — and the faster we will know whether this is the right work for your moment.

Prefer to talk before filling anything in? Send a message and describe in two lines what is stuck. If it makes sense, the full form comes next.

WHATSAPP US

Your information is kept confidential and used only to assess the fit of the advisory.

Is the advisory only for companies in crisis?

No. It also serves growing companies, owners seeking professionalization, and business families who want to organize finances, wealth, governance, and succession.

What is the investment?

The scope is defined according to each client's reality, maturity, and complexity. For that reason the fee is presented in the proposal, after the introductory call, when it is clear what needs to be done.

How long does it take?

The diagnosis can be one-off. Strategic projects run 60 to 180 days. Ongoing advisory can be monthly or quarterly.

Does the advisory include personal finances?

It can, especially when the owner's and the family's finances are directly tied to the company.

Is there a guarantee of results?

No. Results depend on the quality of the information, the decisions made, and the client's commitment to execution.

How does the waitlist work?

You fill in the form, go through screening, and — if there is fit and availability — are invited to the introductory call.
