Every so often, an organization makes a change that defines its future.
Initial public offerings (IPOs), taking a company private, selling your business, or divesting a part of the company. Whether these key transactions occur in the capital markets or not, they invite increased scrutiny, extending the stakes for every business through its financial reporting. The need depends on the organization.
The impact of a complex transaction goes beyond a moment in time, but our advisors have you covered. Whether preparing for an IPO, satisfying an investor, or communicating with a private equity firm, your stakeholders and the regulatory bodies expect more from your financial reporting. By reviewing the implications for financial reporting before the transaction, our team helps you protect the company—proactively and with purpose—and you can expect both pre-and post-transaction support.
