Transaction Advisory Services
Minimize risk. Maximize value.
As every transition is unique, our advisors works with you to educate you about the process and options, understand your needs and to formulate the right solutions to help achieve your goals. Whether it is buying or selling a business, gifting to the next generation or transitioning it to management, it is a big event and we can help you in minimizing the risk and maximizing the opportunity.
Our team has extensive experience advising closely held businesses on transactions across a variety of industries whether it is an owner operated, strategic, private equity or management transition.
Our transaction services include the following:
Quality of Earnings Analysis – Sell or Buy Side
A quality of earnings (QOE) analysis is a useful tool to help ensure the proposed transition is being transacted based on solid accounting and financial assumptions and data. Whether the QOE is for the acquiring or the acquired entity, it provides insight into the financial operations critical to making informed decisions on a future transaction.
Buy-Side Due Diligence
Performing buy-side financial due diligence is crucial for a successful transaction. Our team helps buyers understand the target company’s financial information to either help validate the purchase price or identify opportunities for further negotiation.
Sell-Side Due Diligence
The process of selling a company can be filled with surprises. With sell-side financial due diligence, we work with you to understand your company’s financial information and to identify potential surprises before you go to market. We help you and your team prepare for inquiries, documents, and analyses that a potential acquirer will request, reducing the pressure on your team and generally leading to a faster path to close.
Tax Due Diligence and Structuring
Taxes can be complicated and can present some challenges in a transaction. Our team can help you identify potential tax exposure or opportunity in a transaction as well as advise on the most tax-advantageous deal structure for your specific situation.
