Mergers and acquisitions tend to focus on the “synergy” of the combined entities, which often translates to a focus on growing revenue streams, filling out a product line, or entry into coveted key markets. Once the merger is complete, the work behind the scenes is just beginning.
Combining the finance and accounting operations of different organizations is a substantial undertaking. Issues of staffing, process, and culture are complex and often go unresolved for years. It is not uncommon for formerly stable, well-run departments to become disorganized and chaotic, and with the exodus of key management and staff, the focus becomes “just get it done”.
DCG assists clients with the consolidation of key processes and financial systems, the elimination of redundant tasks, and the implementation of best-practices from each respective entity. We help ensure that the merged or remaining separate departments have clearly-defined objectives, and the staffing and processes to meet those objectives.
