CASE STUDY

Corporate Finance Capacity Across 70,000+ Project

How Baker Tilly streamlined data complexity and protected delivery speed during a landmark Hellman & Friedman funding round.

The Challenge: Managing highly complex corporate operations across a massive global footprint required a monumental effort to maintain data consistency, threatening to drag down internal team capacity and stall strategic timelines during high stakes funding reviews.

The Turnaround: Transformed raw transactional data streams into clear, centralized service line models, standardizing more than 70,000 complex client projects to systematically structure the firm entire transaction narrative and pre engineer automated analytics.

The Impact: Materially increased deal and reporting velocity while completely safeguarding internal executive advisory teams from operational burnout, successfully supporting the funding transaction advised by William Blair.
