Frequently, companies are left with inadequate accounting and financial leadership to execute on critical initiatives. Our professionals assist with addressing the needs of companies that need interim or part-time support, as well as help private equity firms as they integrate portfolio companies and create value throughout the investment life cycle.
The first 100 days following the close of a transaction are critical to the ultimate success of the deal. Using our technical accounting expertise and deep operational know-how, we provide clients with integrated support during critical transition periods. Our team becomes a crucial extension of your team, bridging the gap between value creation strategy and on-the-ground execution.
Whatever the reason, our professionals offer significant senior operating experience in the areas of financial operations, financial reporting, and financial planning and analysis.
