Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) play a crucial role in post-merger integration of vendor relationships in M&A deals.
CFOs are now expected to assess supplier performance, eliminate underperformers, and standardize vendor contracts to achieve cost synergies.
Modern contract intelligence tools powered by AI help identify contract inconsistencies, while prioritizing cybersecurity audits of B2B partners is essential to mitigate risks.
CFOs must align procurement strategies, integrate AP and AR systems, and ensure clean, actionable data for effective post-merger supplier synergy.
