As private equity firms continue to demand faster integrations, stronger compliance, and more connected portfolio operations, ETONIEN has formally launched its HR Transformation Practice, powered by enhanceHCM and led by Monique Black, Vice President of Private Equity Services and Special Situations.

Monique brings over two decades of experience in M&A due diligence, integration strategy, and change management. Her team specializes in managing complex HR transitions during mergers, acquisitions, and carve-outs — ensuring that business continuity, compliance, and culture move forward together.

What We Do

The enhanceHCM team delivers strategic HR consulting, interim payroll and HR support, and full implementation and operational readiness for private equity–backed and middle market businesses. Our consultants design and execute HR M&A strategies and due diligence, guide organizational design and workforce planning, and manage change and communications during critical transitions.

We provide interim HR and payroll leadership, ensuring staff continuity and compliance across multi-state environments, while managing benefits and payroll operations with precision and speed. Our implementation and operational readiness services cover every phase of HCM optimization—from system implementation and data migration to policy alignment and Day 1 readiness for carve-outs and acquisitions. Following a transaction, we also lead post-close integration, including benefits harmonization, onboarding, HRIS and payroll system integration, and comprehensive compliance audits and employee communications.

Together, these capabilities create a seamless HR infrastructure that aligns people, process, and performance across the deal lifecycle.

Built for Private Equity. Designed for Speed.

The collaboration between ETONIEN and enhanceHCM represents more than a shared client base — it’s a shared mindset.
Both firms were built for private equity, where time, accuracy, and trust are everything.

By combining ETONIEN’s cross-functional execution model with enhanceHCM’s depth in HR and Payroll, we now deliver a fully integrated solution that spans Finance, Operations, and People — from diligence through exit.

Looking Ahead

What started as a collaboration between two trusted colleagues has evolved into something larger than either of us could have built alone. Today, enhanceHCM isn’t just a partner to ETONIEN, it’s part of who we are.

As the needs of private equity firms continue to evolve, our shared mission remains clear:
to provide exceptional leadership, operational readiness, and human capital expertise that drive results — and move every portfolio company forward.
