Mergers, Acquisitions & Divestitures

Acquisition and divestiture activity has quadrupled over the
past 10 years.

In many situations, the goal of the acquisition is to integrate accounting and finance systems. Yet back-end integration efforts often slide down the priority list as the deal progresses, because the task can be complex and cumbersome. Many acquisitions fail to provide the expected benefits to either organization due to lack of resources in this area. Let The Pentad Group be your partner. We have experienced capabilities in the following acquisition and divestiture activity areas:
  • Due diligence
  • Re-engineering accounting and finance business processes
  • Interim staffing during transition periods
  • Integrating Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Business Intelligence (BI) systems

    • Do your existing accounting internal controls meet your external auditors' expectations?
