    Post-Acquisition Integration

    Post-acquisition integration is bringing a business you have just bought under your own finance, controls and reporting, usually in the first 100 days after closing.

    Below roughly ₹20 crore of revenue, the founder is the information system. (read where we wrote it)

    Mainly for

    100Days after closing, planned before the deal signs

    What has to change after a deal closes, and when?

    A deal closes on a date, but the business keeps running on the old owner's habits. The first month sets the new ones, so most of the work is planned before closing.

    The bigger the circle, the more value is kept or lost there.

    1. Before closing

      What changes on day one, what waits, and who owns each item, agreed while the seller is still in the room.

    2. Day one

      Bank mandates and signatories changed, the opening balance sheet agreed, and payroll, GST and filings carried on without a gap.

    3. The first close

      The first month-end on the new owner's standard, with approval limits and payment controls. The old owner's related dealings end or get priced.

      Controllership

    4. Reporting

      One monthly pack on one set of definitions: the plan against actuals, loan covenants and any earn-out.

      MIS

    5. Systems and people

      Finance roles, the accounting and ERP moves and the old owner's handover settled, so the function runs once we step back.

    What does integration cover for the new owner?

    Day one, the first close and the controls, reporting to the new owner, and the systems and people that keep it running.
