Andrew Howson is a #privateequity expert - read his tips on what successful businesses do in the first 100 days

Great insight from Andrew. An extract from the article that particularly resonated with me: 'After completing your deal, the PE house will expect your CFO and finance team to focus on the future, closely watching earnings, profit and operational cash generation against what are likely to be ambitious forecasts and budgets. Are your people, systems and processes geared up to deliver for these demanding new stakeholders?' So true, especially around the challenges of meeting cash and working capital targets. We often see businesses struggling with inefficient and outdated processes and a lack of awareness of good cash management (across finance and operations). #cash #workingcapital #privateequity
