Job description
Senior Manager, M&A Finance Integration Location: Fairfield County, CT
Tired of managing the process? Here's your chance to build it.
Most accounting and finance roles are about maintaining what's already in place. This one is about shaping what comes next.
We're partnering with a rapidly growing, global organization seeking a Senior Manager, M&A Finance Integration to play a critical role in how newly acquired businesses are integrated into the broader company.
This isn't your typical accounts payable or finance operations position. You'll be at the center of M&A activity, working alongside senior finance leadership, influencing business decisions, and taking ownership of projects that directly impact the company's continued expansion.
If you're someone who enjoys solving problems, improving processes, and seeing the tangible impact of your work, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
Exposure Beyond Traditional Accounting: Get directly involved in M&A transactions, business integrations, working capital, and finance transformation.
Real Ownership: Lead integration initiatives from pre-close planning through execution, stabilization, and handover.
Visibility to Leadership: Partner closely with senior Finance, Treasury, Legal, Procurement, and Operations stakeholders.
Make a Measurable Impact: Help shape how acquired businesses operate, strengthen financial controls, and improve processes across a growing organization.
Variety in Your Work: Every acquisition brings new challenges, businesses, systems, and opportunities to make a difference.
Broaden Your Career: Develop valuable experience at the intersection of accounting, M&A, finance operations, and transformation.
What You'll Be Doing
You'll take ownership of the finance-related operational integration of newly acquired businesses, ensuring a smooth transition into the organization's systems, processes, and controls.
Key responsibilities include:
Lead M&A finance integration projects, including pre-close assessments, Day 1 readiness, and post-close execution.
Oversee the integration of accounts payable, vendor management, procurement, payment processes, and commercial contracts.
Analyze AP balances, working capital, outstanding liabilities, and payment obligations throughout the acquisition process.
Identify opportunities to streamline workflows, strengthen internal controls, and improve operational efficiency.
Partner with cross-functional leadership to coordinate vendor transitions, contract obligations, and financial systems integration.
Drive process improvements, automation opportunities, and the transition to standardized corporate finance practices.
Manage integration timelines, resolve operational challenges, and ensure successful handover to ongoing finance teams.
What We're Looking For
Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, or a related field.
8+ years of progressive experience across accounts payable, finance operations, procurement, vendor management, or finance transformation.
Strong understanding of purchase-to-pay processes, financial controls, reconciliations, and working capital.
Experience with M&A integration, ERP implementations, shared services transitions, or process transformation is highly desirable.
Exposure to vendor contracts, payment operations, and commercial agreements.
Strong analytical, project management, and cross-functional communication skills.
Someone who enjoys taking ownership, solving complex problems, and building more efficient processes.
If you've reached a point in your career where you want more than recurring deadlines, routine processes, and maintaining the status quo, this opportunity offers a chance to use your experience in a different way.
You'll have the opportunity to help integrate businesses, improve how finance operates, and contribute directly to an organization's continued growth.
