Business Combinations [Abstract]
ACQUISITIONS	ACQUISITIONS Horn Solutions On December 12, 2022, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets, and assumed certain of the liabilities, of Horn Solutions. The purchase price of $42.7 million was paid at closing with $33.9 million in cash and $3.4 million of the Company common stock (254,455 shares of the Company common stock privately placed under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended), as well as a two-year convertible promissory note of $4.4 million with an annual interest rate of 6%, with interest paid quarterly. The promissory note is convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at any time after the one-year anniversary of the promissory note at a conversion price equal to $17.12 per share. The promissory note is subordinate to the Company’s senior debt. An additional portion of the purchase price, $1.0 million in cash was held back as partial security for a post-closing purchase price adjustment. The asset purchase agreement contained a provision for a “true-up” of acquired working capital within 120 days after the closing date. In May 2023, the hold back and true-up were paid, adjusting businesses acquired by $0.1 million in goodwill. The purchase price at closing was paid out of funds under the Company's credit agreement led by BMO, see “Note 9 - Debt”. The acquired business was assigned to the Professional segment. The acquisition of Horn Solutions allows the Company to strengthen and expand its finance and accounting operations by providing consulting, project loan staff, interim staff, direct hire, and managed services through three complementary business units, strategic accounting and finance, information technology, and transactional accounting and office staffing. Horn Solutions provides services to clients in a variety of industries including, but not limited to energy, financial services, healthcare, real estate and construction, service, manufacturing, and software industries. For the thirteen week period ended October 1, 2023, Horn Solutions contributed $5.9 million of revenue and $0.3 million of operating loss, which included $0.9 million in amortization expense on acquisition intangibles. For the thirty-nine week period ended October 1, 2023, Horn Solutions contributed $19.0 million of revenue and $0.7 million of operating loss, which included $2.6 million in amortization expense on acquisition intangibles.
