Finance transformation & M&A integration · Northern Illinois & companies nationwide
Does this sound familiar?
- A transformation plan exists, but the people doing the day job cannot also deliver it.
- An acquisition or carve-out has created urgent reporting, process, or integration work.
- Manual processes are slowing order to cash, procure to pay, or record to report.
Start with the outcome, then build the team
A finance transformation can involve process design, systems, data, reporting, and organizational change. It is more useful to define the business outcome and the workstreams than to start with a generic request for a transformation consultant. We discuss the executive sponsor, deliverables, milestones, and dependencies.
Keep implementation connected to operations
A new process has to work for the people using it. Consider who owns data, who makes decisions, who signs off on a control, and who runs the process after implementation. Dedicated project professionals and business-as-usual backfill can address different parts of the same capacity problem.
Scale the engagement to the complexity
Some work needs one experienced project consultant. Broader programs may need a blended team with consulting and delivery capabilities. Managed and consulting solutions can draw on Robert Half delivery professionals and Protiviti consulting expertise when that model is appropriate.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Before we get started.
Can you help with post-acquisition finance integration?
Yes. Relevant needs include opening balance-sheet support, consolidations, reporting alignment, integration accounting, and process work. We scope the specific work and required experience first.
Can the team scale beyond one consultant?
A broader engagement can be discussed when the program needs multiple disciplines. Team composition and the consulting model depend on the scope.
