The challenge
Quarterhill grows and reshapes itself through acquisitions and divestitures. Every entity that joined or left touched the chart of accounts, the subsidiary structure and the close process, and each one risked a one-off configuration that would make the next change harder.
What we did
Onboarded three subsidiaries
We brought three of Quarterhill's largest subsidiaries into NetSuite, fitting each one into a single, consistent structure instead of configuring them one by one.
Managed a full divestiture
When a business was sold, we separated it cleanly without disturbing the entities that stayed.
Recommended a shared services model
Early in the work, we advised Quarterhill to move to a shared services model, so finance processes are set up once and reused as entities come and go.
The outcome
New and departing entities now fit a structure that was planned for change, so the team no longer rebuilds processes with every deal.
