Finance and KPI
$400M+ industrial platform
Reporting was fragmented and the treatment of EBITDA adjustments was not consistently governed after acquisition.
Simplified the close process, created an EBITDA bridge, aligned KPI definitions, and introduced a weekly executive review.
Board-ready reporting was established within 90 days, with less reconciliation noise in management reviews.
Pricing and margin
Multi-location services platform
Discount practices varied across the business and leadership could not isolate the drivers of margin erosion quickly.
Compared pricing across the business, clarified approval thresholds, and introduced a regular price-volume-mix review.
Leadership gained a consistent view of commercial variance and gross-margin performance stabilized over two quarters.
Integration
Platform and five add-ons
Synergies, functional dependencies, and SG&A ownership were not visible in one operating view.
Assigned owners, established the starting point for synergies, clarified decision rights, and introduced regular leadership reviews.
Management gained one view of realization, dependencies, decisions, and areas of potential duplication.
Cash and working capital
PE-backed operating company
Cash forecasting was inconsistent and receivables actions were not connected to a shared liquidity view.
Built a 13-week cash forecast, clarified ownership, and linked receivables actions to the weekly cash review.
The 13-week view became the common basis for liquidity decisions and forecast accountability.
Professional foundation
ZiffyVolve's delivery approach is informed by prior leadership and advisory roles across GE, PwC Strategy&, Aon, AlixPartners, and Ohmium International. Employer names provide biographical context and do not imply endorsement.
