M&A Integration Manager

Every company Helsing acquires must be financially operational within thirty days of close and fully integrated within one hundred. This role owns that outcome. As M&A Integration Manager for Finance, you will lead the finance integration of every entity Helsing acquires, from pre-deal due diligence through to full ERP and process convergence. Integration speed is not incidental; it is a direct determinant of deal value. You will build and maintain the Finance Integration Playbook, coordinate Day 1 and Day 100 deliverables, and partner with the leadership of acquired entities in a way that makes the transition feel collaborative while holding firm on Helsing's financial operating standards.

The day-to-day:

• Own the Finance Integration Playbook, covering ERP migration, chart of accounts alignment, intercompany setup, treasury onboarding, and control framework extension for every acquired entity.
• Lead finance planning and execution for each transaction, managing Day 1 deliverables including opening balance sheet, banking migration, and payroll transition, and Day 100 deliverables in coordination with the Principal SAP Finance & Data.
• Conduct finance due diligence before deals close, including financial model sense-checks, hidden liability audits, data quality assessments, and Day 1 readiness checklists drafted pre-signing, and track synergy realization from Day 1 with clear, structured reporting to senior stakeholders.
• Partner with the ICS Lead to extend Helsing's control framework to every new entity within ninety days of close, ensuring controls are operational rather than notional.
• Use AI agents to accelerate finance due diligence, including auto-classification of trial balance anomalies and flagging of revenue-recognition risks, and deploy LLM-powered document synthesis to produce integration status reports, Day 1 checklists, and synergy tracking dashboards.
