Transaction Services

With over 35 years of experience consulting with stakeholders in transaction environments, we are uniquely positioned to successfully advise our clients who are considering an acquisition or divestiture. Our experienced professionals routinely provide expert financial and tax diligence designed to identify and evaluate value propositions in business combinations while minimizing the risk and exposure to our clients. Our approach emphasizes proactive communication, responsiveness and high levels of partner participation throughout the entire transaction life cycle. We work closely with financial and strategic buyers to provide customized services tailored to identify opportunities and issues within the proposed acquisition or divestiture transaction.

Our team

Our Transaction Services team is comprised of partners, directors and senior managers with in-depth expertise in the areas of Accounting, Finance, Operations, Tax, and Information Technology in middle-market transaction environments. For each engagement, the necessary resources are coordinated through a single point of contact (a hands-on transaction services partner) to provide maximum coordination, efficiency and focus throughout the acquisition or divestiture transaction.
