After an acquisition deal closes, the focus shifts to back-office integration, including tech systems, workflows, processes, and knowledge.
Finance teams play a crucial role in integrating back-office and payment systems to drive the success of the acquisition.
Setting up a central integration office involving treasury, finance, IT, legal, and HR is essential to streamline post-acquisition operations.
M&A integration involves aligning people, processes, and platforms, along with addressing regulatory requirements and leveraging AI technology for knowledge management.
