Expert Transition Solutions

Whether shedding a business, absorbing a newly divested entity or physically moving your business, there is a likely need for transition services.

Typically addressed in a Transition Service Agreement (TSA), these services fill the gap between when the business unit can stand on its own or be fully integrated. Rely on finance pros who can strategize with you to understand integration challenges and deploy a team exclusively focused on operationalizing the value of the deal.

Pain Points

• Absence of operational experience slows deal closings and hampers smooth execution
• An under-resourced or less experienced transition team will negatively impact integration success
• Lack of centralized administrative services for each acquired company in a rollup situation or an inability to handle administrative services (finance, HR, IT, etc.) for a sold business
• Without awareness of the capabilities and processes needed to support a deal, sellers face uncertainty on the scope and cost of services they’ll have to provide
• A pressing need for a dedicated, multidisciplinary finance team to navigate dynamic needs of buyer and seller
