Case Note: 100-Day Finance Stabilization & EBITDA Cadence
Rapid reconstruction of the finance function to establish board-ready reporting and weekly performance cadence for a $400M industrial platform.
Situation
A $400M industrial platform faced fragmented reporting and unclear EBITDA normalization following a major acquisition. The board lacked a clear bridge between operational performance and financial results.
Action
Our 100-day stabilization program focused on structural reporting discipline:
- Close Optimization: Rebuilding the month-end close process to reduce cycle time by 40%.
- EBITDA Bridge: Installing a standardized normalization bridge to eliminate reconciliation noise.
- KPI Cascade: Establishing a weekly operating cadence that connects shop-floor metrics to P&L outcomes.
Outcome
Achieved board-ready reporting within 90 days. The platform now operates on a single version of the truth, allowing executive leadership to pivot from historical accounting to forward-looking execution.
