Joining forces: how a-count-a-bility tracked integration costs and synergies

a-count-a-bility coordinated budget compilation for a large company integration and then set up monthly processes to consolidate costs incurred and a quarterly process for reforecasting.

Beyond the books: taking care of every detail during a company acquisition

Project profitability planning: evaluating the qualitative and quantitative impacts of a relocation

a-count-a-bility evaluated options in respect of relocating a finance department. This involved financial considerations such as redundancy and relocation costs as well office refit and furniture removal items. Such decisions are never purely financial so a full business case considering qualitative matters such as experience to be lost, improved holiday cover, unemployment rates and business disruption was built.
