Accounting & Finance Execution Across the Investment Lifecycle
RHI provides experienced accounting and finance professionals to help private equity firms and portfolio companies execute critical initiatives, strengthen finance operations, and navigate periods of change—from acquisition through exit.
Portfolio Finance Teams Under Pressure
PE-backed companies often have ambitious growth plans while finance teams are already operating at capacity. Transactions, integrations, reporting demands, and transformation initiatives can quickly create an execution gap.
Speed After Close
The first 90–180 days can require significant finance execution while permanent hiring takes time.
Reporting Gaps
Management reporting, FP&A, audit readiness, and investor reporting may need to mature quickly.
Talent & Capacity Gaps
Critical initiatives often require experienced finance professionals without adding permanent headcount.
Complex Transactions
Add-ons, carve-outs, integrations, and ERP transitions require specialized accounting and finance expertise.
