Large, complex organizations operate under constant regulatory and audit scrutiny. When unexpected leadership gaps arise during acquisitions, integrations, or reporting cycles, the risk is immediate and material.

Atlas Row supports enterprise finance organizations by providing experienced subject-matter expertise exactly when continuity and precision are required.

Your Reality

The finance organization is deep but highly specialized. When a key leader resigns or capacity is exceeded during a major event, internal teams cannot absorb the work without creating risk. Filing deadlines, technical accounting requirements, and audit expectations leave no room for delay or error.

You don’t need training or strategy — you need execution now.

Case Study: Manufacturing Transaction Advisory

Safeguarding a $2Bn Acquisition & Preventing $30M in Material Errors for a $8bn Manufacturer

The Challenge

  • Trigger Event: During the execution of a complex $2Bn acquisition, the client's Director of Technical Accounting resigned unexpectedly, creating a critical leadership gap at a pivotal moment.

  • Resource Constraints: The internal finance team lacked the technical expertise to manage the intricacies of ASC 805 Purchase Price Allocation (PPA) and SEC reporting, especially with a Big 4 audit on the horizon.

  • Risk Exposure: Without immediate support, the transaction accounting was fundamentally "at-risk." The team faced insufficient capacity to prepare technical memos for revenue, goodwill, and leases - potentially resulting in delayed filings, audit issues, or even future restatements.

Atlas Row’s Approach

  1. Crisis Stabilization: We deployed a technical accounting subject matter expert to serve as the interim lead, acting as primary liaison with the Big 4 auditors and driving technical accounting. This ensured “Day 1” stability and relieved pressure on the internal team during the transition.

  2. Risk Remediation: Our expert audited the prior Director’s work, identifying and correcting missed accounting adjustments and purchase price allocation errors that had gone undetected.

  3. Technical Execution: Produced a comprehensive Purchase Price Accounting memorandum and all supporting workbooks to ensure compliance with ASC 805.

  4. Guided external auditors through every element of the documentation well ahead of critical filing deadlines.

  5. Integrated the acquiree’s internal controls into the client’s existing framework, strengthening compliance and operational rigor.

  6. Process Optimization: Leveraging the client’s offshore service center, we established a calendar of recurring tasks and developed standardized templates for future technical memos, enhancing operational efficiency and knowledge retention.

Results & Lasting Impact

  • Quantitative Win – Preventing $30M in Material Errors: By identifying purchase price allocation errors prior to filing, we directly improved the balance sheet and mitigated the risk of a future financial restatement.

  • Strategic Outcomes: Executive leadership and Big 4 auditors were reassured by our technical rigor and proactive communication, securing stakeholder confidence during a volatile transition.

  • Knowledge Transfer: We did not just fill a seat; we prepared the role for the future. We supported the recruitment of the permanent Director, created a comprehensive "Onboarding Manual," and conducted a structured handover to ensure long-term retention and success.
