MPX Group · Nashville, Tennessee

Confidential AI plus an operator who knows where everything is.

When a company is under pressure, the work is mostly factual. Documents to organize. Cash to model. Vendors and creditors to map. Records to reconcile across years of mess.

MPX runs that work with confidential AI inside your environment, supervised by an operator who has been inside companies like yours for twenty-five years.

Days, not weeks. A fraction of what a law firm or Big-4 advisor would charge. Your attorney still gives the legal call. Your CPA still signs the return.

We hand them a clean factual record they can actually use.

The AI Advantage

What used to take an engagement team
now takes one operator and AI.

Distressed-company work is mostly clerical. Reading documents, classifying transactions, mapping creditors, reconciling cash, producing exhibits. Law firms and Big-4 advisors price that work at partner and associate rates because they bundle it with judgment. AI changes the math.

Confidential, in your environment

Local AI on your data. Nothing leaves the company. No public cloud, no third-party indexing, no model training on your records.

Counsel-friendly by design. Your attorney's privilege concerns and your IT team's security concerns are addressed by how the system is built, not by a clause in a vendor contract.

Days, not weeks

Document review that used to take an associate team weeks lands in days. A 13-week cash forecast that used to take a Big-4 advisor a month lands in 48 hours and updates in real time.

The work moves at the speed of decisions. There is no billable-hour clock running while the engagement team learns your business.

One operator, more control

One experienced operator runs the work, with AI doing the volume. Lower cost, fewer hand-offs, more oversight, cleaner accountability.

You pay for judgment, not for layers of associates and partners staffed against your problem.

What MPX Does

Operating control and factual clarity
when the business is under pressure.

MPX works with companies that are losing money, preparing for a transaction, facing creditor pressure, considering a wind-down, or trying to avoid a more expensive formal process. We step into the operating reality of the business, organize the facts, stabilize the moving parts, and build a practical path forward.

I am an operator. I am not an attorney. I am not a CPA. I do not give legal or tax advice. Counsel decides the legal call. The CPA signs the return. MPX makes their work faster and cheaper because the facts are organized when they arrive.

For some companies, the work is a turnaround. For others, a controlled wind-down. For others, giving lenders, investors, buyers, or counsel a clean factual record they can trust.

The goal is simple: reduce confusion, preserve options, and make the next decision possible.

Core Work

Five ways MPX engages.

AI Operations Implementation

Confidential AI built into the operating system of the business — and into every other engagement on this page.

Document intelligence. Financial reporting. 13-week cash forecasts. Vendor and creditor mapping. Contract and obligation summaries. Compliance tracking. Estimating. Internal knowledge systems. Executive decision support.

Local models on your data where it matters. The point is not to use AI. The point is to run the company better, faster, and with more visibility than traditional staffing or outside firms could deliver.

Distressed Company Cleanup

For companies under lender, creditor, buyer, or cash pressure.

MPX organizes the operating record: bank accounts, cash position, AR/AP, payroll, vendor obligations, contracts, insurance, taxes, fleet, customer commitments, litigation materials, and open issues.

AI does the volume. The operator runs the work and signs off on the facts. The result is a clean factual base that ownership, counsel, lenders, or investors can use.

Wind-Down Support

A wind-down does not have to become chaos.

MPX helps companies build a controlled operating plan for the next ten days, thirty days, or full exit period. We identify what must be paid, what must be preserved, what must be communicated, what documents are missing, and what decisions are blocked.

This is often a lower-cost, more practical step before a company is forced into more formal and expensive processes. Counsel handles legal strategy. MPX handles the operating record and execution plan.

Turnaround Leadership

Some businesses do not need another advisor. They need an operator in the seat.

MPX can step in as interim CEO, COO, division lead, or operating advisor to stabilize the business, rebuild accountability, improve cash visibility, and create a path back to profitability.

Built for owners, investors, lenders, and family businesses that need experienced operating judgment, not a generic framework.

Strategic Execution

Acquisitions, integrations, restructuring, financial cleanup, lender communications, and business transitions.

Some problems are too operational for lawyers, too urgent for consultants, and too messy for internal teams that are already stretched.

That is where MPX fits.

When To Call

Call before the problem hardens.

Call MPX when:

A lender, creditor, buyer, or attorney is asking for records and the company is not ready.
A sale, refinance, turnaround, or wind-down is blocked by missing documents or unclear numbers.
Cash is tight and the company needs a real view of what must be paid, what can wait, and what is at risk.
Payroll, taxes, insurance, fleet, vendors, or customer obligations are inside a short window.
Ownership does not trust the books and needs an outside operator to build the factual record.
Counsel is involved but needs the operating truth organized quickly.
A formal insolvency process is being discussed, but the company still has options worth preserving.

The Cleanup Sprint

The first move is control.

MPX usually begins with a focused operating cleanup sprint. AI runs the volume — pulling documents, classifying transactions, extracting obligations, building the cash view. The operator runs the work and signs off on the facts. The purpose is not to solve every problem at once. The purpose is to create enough order for serious decisions to be made.

Cash and bank control

Current bank list, cash position, deposit flow, trapped funds, near-term obligations, and a practical cash forecast.

Creditor and vendor map

Secured creditors, trade AP, collection notices, tax notices, insurance, fleet, payment plans, critical vendors, and exposure points.

Document production

Source folders, document index, missing-document log, contracts, leases, payroll records, tax materials, QBO files, bank statements, AR/AP, and litigation materials.

Gaps and conflicts

A plain-English list of what does not reconcile, what is missing, who owns each answer, and what blocks the next decision.

Wind-down or stabilization plan

Payroll, benefits, taxes, insurance, vendor priorities, customer obligations, asset transfers, communications, and next steps.

Counsel and lender support

Fact-only memos, timelines, schedules, exhibit lists, and source citations. Counsel decides the legal strategy. MPX makes the facts usable.

In Practice

Serious work. Private clients.

MPX works on matters where discretion matters.

Many engagements involve ownership disputes, lender pressure, distressed operations, acquisition diligence, creditor exposure, or confidential turnarounds. We do not publicly name clients without permission.

References are available for qualified inquiries. Case studies can be discussed confidentially by phone.

The pattern is consistent: MPX is brought in when the company needs operating clarity, factual control, and experienced execution.

Track Record

A pattern, not a resume.

25 years

Operating across construction, infrastructure, telecom, architecture, hospitality, and real estate. Built companies, bought companies, fixed companies, sold companies, and stepped into difficult situations where the answer had to work in the real world.

8 exits

Asset sales, consolidator transactions, structured transitions, and operating exits negotiated across multiple industries.

Turnarounds and stabilization

Brought into companies with serious losses, operational breakdowns, unclear reporting, and strained cash positions. Built the operating plan, restored visibility, and moved the business toward a cleaner outcome.

AI in production

Built AI-enabled systems inside real companies: document intelligence, compliance dashboards, financial reporting, estimating support, internal knowledge systems, and executive decision tools.

Lower-cost operating alternative

MPX can often help companies regain control before the only remaining options are more formal, more expensive, and more disruptive.

Private references

Many clients and matters are confidential. References are available for qualified conversations.

We do not name clients without permission, and we never will.

About

Mike Pietrzak

Mike Pietrzak is an operator and founder of MPX Group.

For more than 25 years, he has built, run, acquired, turned around, and exited companies across construction, infrastructure, telecom, architecture, hospitality, and real estate.

His work sits at the intersection of operating judgment, financial cleanup, confidential AI implementation, and practical execution. He is brought into situations where the facts are incomplete, time is limited, and the business needs someone who can organize the record, understand the pressure, and move the company toward a decision.

Mike is not an attorney and not a CPA. He is an operator. He has spent his career inside operating businesses, managing cash, people, customers, lenders, vendors, systems, transactions, and risk. He knows where everything is, what is needed, and what can wait.

Today, MPX combines that experience with confidential, in-environment AI to give mid-market companies the kind of visibility, structure, and execution capacity that previously required a law-firm or Big-4 engagement team to even attempt.
