The New Reality

The deal is done. Now the real work begins.

Your investors have set the Value Creation Plan, and the expectations are clear: grow faster, report deeper, and optimise everything. But you can't hit growth targets with your current team structure, and you don't have six months to recruit the "perfect" permanent executive.

You need leaders and executives who can professionalise your operations, handle the board pressure, and drive the numbers that matter.

What’s putting your targets at risk?

Board-level scrutiny

Your new owners demand data granularity you’ve never needed before. Deploy a Fractional CFO or Controller to build the dashboard and board packs that keep investors happy.

Change fatigue

You are trying to run the business and transform it at the same time. Don't burn out your core team. Bring in interim project leads to handle the heavy lifting of integration or transformation.

New strategic requirements

The board wants you to execute a "Buy and Build" strategy or enter a new market, but you lack the in-house experience. Engage the specific expertise you need, just for the duration of the project.

Fractional executives

Hire leaders who speak "PE"

The pace of a PE-backed company is different. You need executives who understand debt covenants, working capital cycles, and rapid transformation. Deploy a Fractional CFO, COO, or CTO who has been through the cycle before to sit beside you and share the load.
