Transaction Advisory Services
Making Transactions Seamless

With our experience, transparent communication and hands-on partner involvement, we are uniquely positioned to advise clients considering an acquisition or divestiture, and ultimately to deliver better outcomes.

Early Involvement

As you consider a transaction, we take the time to understand your goals while proactively identifying critical issues and key risk factors.

On Your Side

We’re more than advisors — we’re trusted partners helping you navigate complexity from pre- to post-deal.

Value Drivers

We help you meet your goals and achieve better results by providing strategic advisory throughout the entire lifecycle of the transaction.

Making More Possible

Close deals with confidence. Whether you need due diligence for an acquisition or insights on a potential divestiture, our team gives you the insights you need to make informed decisions and achieve better outcomes.

Pre-Deal Strategy and Assessment

Stay confident at every stage of a potential acquisition or divestiture with our proactive approach. We offer modeling and projection services to analyze your financial outlook, and our expertise in tax and transaction structuring, along with letter of intent advising, gives you a strategic advantage.

Acquisition Target Evaluation

We thoroughly evaluate potential acquisition targets by analyzing historical financial statements, assessing the quality of earnings (QoE) and net assets, and conducting in-depth assessments of risks and controls. Our comprehensive services, covering tax compliance and transitional risk assessments, give you the clarity you need to make informed decisions about your acquisition targets.

Deal Structure and Execution

We help you navigate deals with confidence and precision by structuring and negotiating favorable terms. When transactions move towards execution, we review purchase agreements to ensure the terms align with your unique goals. As a trusted partner, we analyze purchase price adjustments and settlements and offer our expertise in the transition and integration planning phase to seamlessly execute the deal structure.

Post-Transaction Integration

Our commitment doesn’t end after a deal closes. We position you for long-term success by assisting with purchase price settlement and allocation to ensure disputes are resolved, and financial reporting and taxes are correct. Our team works alongside yours to provide purchase accounting assistance, opening balance sheet validation and other transition assistance to maintain accurate and compliant financial statements.
