From Day One to Day 100: How Finance Leaders Stabilize T&E After M&A

Post-Merge Integration: A Finance Leader’s Guide to Travel and Expense Management

After a merger or acquisition (M&A), finance leaders face immediate pressure to integrate operations, strengthen financial controls, and deliver cost efficiencies. Aligning reporting standards, consolidating processes, and managing spend across organizations can be overwhelming—especially in the critical first 100 days.

One high-impact yet often overlooked area of post-merger integration is travel and expense (T&E) management. As one of the largest categories of corporate spend, T&E affects every employee and plays a key role in cost control, compliance, and financial visibility. A strategic approach to post-acquisition T&E management helps finance leaders standardize policies, improve oversight of employee spend, and stabilize financial performance across the combined organization.

This guide provides a practical roadmap for managing T&E in the first 100 days following an M&A transaction. You’ll learn:

• Where to find quick cost and control wins in the first 30 days
• Which T&E policies and processes to standardize from days 41–60
• How to drive long-term value and efficiency by day 90
• How AI-powered T&E solutions streamline integration and improve visibility
