ASA webinar: After the Close: The Back-Office Integration Nobody Budgets For

A one-hour online webinar from the American Staffing Association about what happens to back-office work after a staffing firm buys another firm. The speakers are Ryan Clark, a former chief executive of PeopleShare, and Mike McKerns of Hercules.

What it covers

• The four points where an acquired firm's data tends to break: contract, timesheet, payroll and invoice.
• Why clients report overbilling but rarely underbilling, and how that hides lost margin.
• How to tell a weak acquired business from losses caused by the integration.
• Planning the first 90 days by what loses money soonest.
• Sizing back-office work before a deal closes and deciding what to staff, defer or hand off.

Who should go

Owners, principals, chief executives, presidents, branch managers and recruiting professionals.
