You’ll work with highly experienced professionals who ask the right questions at the right time. We focus on issues surrounding quality of earnings, working capital and net assets. Our people are adept at assessing financial and business risks. We search for opportunities to help you avoid or eliminate a tax problem or secure a tax benefit in the deal or after ownership.
You can also rely on us to help you to manage stakeholder expectations and work with the buyer and seller to get the job done. Buying a company is never easy, but we identify and openly discuss the risks and opportunities during due diligence so you can quickly make the most informed decisions.
We can perform the following steps to understand the quality of earnings and identify the risks and issues that need to be addressed before you make an investment decision:
- Assess the financial condition of the target, particularly the quality and sustainability of its earnings
- Bridge key trends in revenues and EBITDA to understand business drivers
- Identify internal control weaknesses, including observations on systems and personnel
- Recommend the optimal deal structure for tax purposes
- Identify tax risks related to federal, state and local tax obligations
- Identify transitional issues
- Continuously communicate areas of risk and concern
- Provide a comprehensive and timely report
