Mergers & Acquisitions Support

Minimize disruption. Maintain momentum. Transition with confidence.

After a deal closes, the real work begins. Transition Service Agreements (TSAs) can either smooth the path or create costly delays and confusion. We help you get it right from day one.

What We Provide

• – Clarity on responsibilities: Clearly defined roles, timelines, and deliverables for both buyer and seller
• – TSA creation and negotiation support: We help draft, review, and align TSAs with business goals
• – Day 1 readiness: Ensure operational continuity with detailed transition plans
• – Performance tracking: Ongoing monitoring to ensure TSA obligations are being met
• – Exit planning: Structured off-ramps so you can transition out of TSAs on time and without chaos

Connect systems. Secure data. Power smarter decisions.

Mergers often bring a patchwork of systems, data silos, and tech debt. Without a thoughtful integration plan, organizations risk miscommunication, data loss, security issues, and operational slowdowns.

What We Provide

• – System mapping and application inventory: Identify what systems exist, what overlaps, and where the risks are
• – Integration strategy: Create a clear roadmap for aligning and consolidating IT systems
• – Infrastructure support: Ensure networks, hardware, and cloud environments are secure and scalable
• – Data migration & cleanup: Move data intelligently, reduce redundancy, and maintain compliance
• – Business continuity planning: Minimize downtime and disruption during transitions

Lead with clarity. Align your people. Make change stick.

Mergers and acquisitions bring more than systems and processes—they bring uncertainty. Without a people-first strategy, even the best plans can stall due to resistance, confusion, or misalignment.

What We Provide

• – Change readiness assessments: Gauge where teams stand and what support they need
• – Stakeholder alignment: Identify key influencers, build trust, and foster buy-in early
• – Communication planning: Deliver timely, clear messages that reduce fear and build momentum
• – Training & enablement: Equip your workforce with the skills and confidence to adopt new ways of working
• – Culture integration: Align values, behaviors, and expectations to foster one cohesive organization

Bring people together. Align teams. Protect your talent.

In any merger or acquisition, your people are your most valuable—and vulnerable—asset. Poorly managed workforce integration can lead to confusion, culture clashes, and costly turnover. We help you get it right from the start.

What We Provide

• – Org structure and role alignment: Clarify reporting lines, eliminate redundancies, and define new team structures
• – Onboarding and communication planning: Create consistent, timely messaging to welcome and guide employees
• – Retention strategy: Identify and retain key talent with targeted engagement and incentives
• – Culture mapping and integration: Understand and align organizational cultures to promote trust and cohesion
• – HR systems and process harmonization: Align benefits, policies, and systems to avoid disruption

Streamline finances. Uncover value. Fuel long-term performance.

After a deal closes, financial operations are often misaligned—duplicate systems, inconsistent processes, and unclear reporting create risk and slow progress. Optimizing financial operations helps unlock synergies, boost transparency, and support confident decision-making.

What We Provide

• – Process alignment and redesign: Standardize core functions like AP/AR, payroll, and reporting across entities
• – KPI and dashboard development: Create unified reporting to track financial health and performance
• – System integration and rationalization: Align or consolidate financial systems to reduce cost and complexity
• – Working capital optimization: Identify opportunities to improve cash flow, reduce waste, and boost efficiency
• – Internal controls and compliance: Strengthen controls and ensure regulatory alignment post-transaction
