Specialist service

Accounting for a sale, an acquisition, a receivership or a wind-down.

Diligence packages, cut-off statements and reporting through acquisitions, restructurings and wind-downs.

Overview

A sale, an acquisition, a receivership or a wind-down tests the books harder than any year-end. The deadline is set by the buyer, the court or the lender, and the work has to be right first time.

What it covers
  1. Sell-side due diligence package

    Three years of statements, normalised earnings, working capital analysis and a data room a buyer's adviser can work through with few questions.

  2. Buy-side financial review

    A review of the target's books for the owner who is buying, focused on what the statements do not say.

  3. Cut-off statements

    Balance sheets struck at the transaction date, reconciled and supported, for the purchase price adjustment.

  4. Receivership and restructuring reporting

    Daily or weekly reporting to a receiver, monitor or lender, in the format they require, on their timetable.

  5. Wind-down and dissolution

    Final financial statements, final T2 and HST returns, and the CRA and registry account closures.

  6. Post-acquisition integration

    Two sets of books brought onto one chart of accounts and one system, with opening balances that reconcile.
