One Call. Total Recovery. 

Who We Are

  • We Bring it All Together — Zing Consultants was built on a simple premise — when a business, lender, or estate faces the complex challenge of asset recovery, they shouldn't have to coordinate five different firms to get it done. 


  • Decades at the Table — We are a team of three senior executives with decades of experience across auctions, collections, accounts receivable, real estate, and private equity. We've sat at the table on thousands of transactions — working alongside bankruptcy trustees, debtor attorneys, banks, lenders, and businesses navigating some of their most difficult financial moments.


  • You Get Us  — What sets us apart is the combination of personal, senior-level attention and an elite network of national partners that gives our clients access to resources and reach typically reserved for the largest firms in the country. You're not handed off to a junior associate. And unlike brokers who simply refer business, we have direct ownership in the collection companies we deploy — meaning our interests are fully aligned with yours from day one.

What We Do

 We specialize in maximizing asset recovery across every asset class:


  • Auctions — Equipment, inventory, and commercial assets liquidated for maximum return
  • Collections & Accounts Receivable — Contingency-based or purchased outright
  • Real Estate — Commercial and residential, from valuation through sale
  • Private Equity & Financial Navigation — Capital connections, M&A support, and restructuring guidance


 Chief Restructuring Officer (CRO) Services 

What truly sets us apart is our ability to function as a complete Chief Restructuring Officer resource. We don't simply execute transactions — we sit alongside our clients as strategic advisors, helping architect the full recovery plan, coordinate every moving part, and ensure maximum value is realized at every stage. One team. Total accountability.



One Call Starts the Process.  We Handle the Rest.
