If successful exit is the destination for a Private Equity portfolio company, how are you navigating that journey? It is through timely access to data and performance insights to accelerate the delivery of the value creation plan, with the ability to steer and make adjustments to what drives revenues, margins, SG&A and cash flows. But, how do you do that? You need to build up a robust and well strategized Financial Planning & Analysis function that serves as a force multiplier to provide a deep understanding of the numbers and a clear visibility of the investment decisions and operational choices driving the outcomes. Listen to the latest episode of the PE Portco Speed Round.
