Building Structure for Sustainable Growth
A software company was undergoing a significant business transition that required the rapid stand-up of key finance operations.
Connected Systems. Scalable Growth.
A $200M software company providing marketleading financial solutions for law firms had recently been acquired by a private equity firm. The carve-out required a complete stand-up of finance operations—from establishing reporting and controls to enabling key metrics and forecasting. With no existing finance leadership and the pressure of PE deadlines, the organization needed to move quickly to create structure, visibility, and confidence in its numbers.
