Finance Integration
OFFERING OVERVIEW
When a target joins a parent company, we rationalize both organizations' processes into a single future-state operating model, build the roadmap to get there, and migrate the target onto the parent's systems. Our team accelerates the data mapping and reconciliation work behind the systems migration with AI workflows, so integration moves faster and more efficiently, with one integrated design and one sequenced plan, so nothing is left for the two finance teams to reconcile on their own.
Included capabilities
Current State Process Documentation
Your finance processes documented step by step, so nothing depends on memory. Documents current-state finance and accounting processes in structured SOP format, capturing workflows, system touchpoints, and current owners as the baseline for process redesign, automation, or integration planning.
Integrated Finance Design
One future-state operating model both finance teams actually commit to. Rationalizes the parent and target current-state assessments into a single integrated future-state operating model, inclusive of ownership and responsibilities mapping, with a facilitated decision session involving leadership from both organizations.
Systems Migration
Your systems migrated onto the new platform without losing a beat. Migrates a company from its existing finance systems onto a parent company’s platform or a newly selected platform, using the relevant data migration and remediation capabilities.
Vendor Documentation Collection
Vendor records collected and standardized before they become someone else's fire drill. Collects, organizes, and standardizes vendor documentation (W-9s, vendor master data, contracts, compliance records) to support AP platform transitions and vendor onboarding.
Chart of Accounts Redesign
A chart of accounts rebuilt to match GAAP and your parent company's standards. Restructures, renames, and rationalizes the target company's chart of accounts to align with GAAP standards, parent company conventions, or platform requirements. Most applicable for non-QBO platforms.
ERP Provisioning
Your new accounting platform, configured and ready before day one. Stands up a new ERP or accounting platform instance for the client: legal entity setup, admin access, fiscal year and period setup, and base settings required before data or users can be onboarded.
Historical Books Remediation
We correct the historical entries, so the go-forward books start clean. Remediates inaccurate or non-GAAP-compliant transactions in the target's historical books through a defined cut-off, typically paired with controller training.
Opening Balance Sheet and Post-Close Transaction Data Load
The opening balance sheet loaded and reconciled the moment the deal closes. Loads the TS-prepared opening balance sheet into the target accounting platform as of the deal close date, plus post-close transactions and customer/vendor list migration. Requires pre-engagement alignment with the TS team on cut-off date, account mapping, and any new accounts introduced.
Cash to GAAP Conversion
Cash-basis books converted to GAAP, with a team trained to keep them there. Converts a client's books from cash-basis to accrual-basis (GAAP) accounting: reconstructing historical transactions, establishing accrual accounts, building supporting schedules (deferred revenue, prepaids, accrued liabilities), and training the accounting team on go-forward methodology. Typically triggered by a PE acquisition of a cash-basis business or audit preparation.
