Data Centers Case Study

A business-unit split fragmented G&A across global entities.

A global enterprise technology provider, audited as part of our Data Centers work, was splitting into multiple standalone business units while migrating its general ledger off NetSuite. Recent HR and Legal staff reductions created urgent operational pressure on Finance, Accounting, and Tax teams.
