Post-Merger Integration
Making the deal work after close — integrating finance, systems, and operations.
What post-merger integration covers
Most deals that disappoint do so not in the negotiation but in the integration. Bringing two businesses together — their finance functions, systems, controls, policies, and people — is where the promised value is won or lost.
The firm plans and supports the integration of the financial and operational sides, and tracks the synergies the deal was meant to deliver.

Frequently asked questions
Why do mergers fail to deliver?
Most often because integration is underestimated — finance, systems, and operations aren't brought together well, and the synergies don't materialise. Good integration planning prevents that.
What part of integration do you focus on?
The financial and operational side — books, reporting, controls, systems, and compliance — and tracking the synergies.
How long does it take?
Integration typically runs over several months after close; we plan it to your deal.
