Controller moves her role from transactional to strategic and carves a path for professional growth
/
The Situation
PE-backed SaaS company with $48M in revenue was experiencing rapid growth. Future acquisitions were part of their growth strategy and they knew it was necessary to address the finance function. The goal was to have one streamlined process to quickly onboard and manage all entities.
- Finance function was stretched after initial acquisitions
- Internal processes could not scale as the company grew
- No holistic visibility into all entities
- Controller was buried with inefficient systems and processes with no time to add value to the CFO
