Is your company ready for the capital markets?

We help evaluate whether an IPO is the right strategy to generate capital and expand your company, or if there’s a better approach. If an IPO is right for you, we’ll help you get ready for it by helping you develop your “equity story”, preparing financial statements, and transforming operations and internal controls prior to launch. We can also help you develop the infrastructure to operate as a public company and prepare you for other “being public” activities.

• Step 1: Evaluate | We help evaluate whether an IPO is the right strategy to generate capital and expand your company, or if there’s a better approach. If an IPO is right for you, we’ll help you get ready for it by helping you develop your “equity story”, preparing financial statements, and transforming operations and internal controls prior to launch.
• Step 2: Execute | We can also help you develop the infrastructure to operate as a public company and prepare you for other “being public” activities. And finally, you go public.
• Step 3: Examine | In this post-IPO period, we re-examine the strategy and goals and ensure you are on track to deliver. If not, we also help you pivot to get you back on track.

We can assess your challenges and gaps, and then help structure the transaction properly. Our professionals will help you prepare transaction-compliant financial statements and can help you communicate with regulators and investors, including benchmarking of key performance indicators (KPIs) and measuring business performance for annual reporting purposes. Further, we can advise on whether individuals and entities are “qualified” investors under tax and SEC rules.

Your company may be considering spinning off or selling a division. We can help you determine the optimal strategy from a financial, operations and tax standpoint. We then help you implement the strategy and, if appropriate, create new accounting, operations, and technology/infrastructure systems for your organization and the spin-off company.

We support companies in all aspects of M&A transactions, including cash flow modeling, legal entity rationalization and accounting for the impact of the U.S. Tax Reform Law, SEC requirements, and international tax and compliance regulations. We also assist in all aspects of pre- and post-closing activities to support financial reporting and operational activities, including valuation, change-management, and organizational culture issues.

Our professionals bring vast experience in financial and operational internal auditing, IT evaluation, fraud analytics and risk assessment, shared services review, finance management, treasury, and supply chain troubleshooting. We can document and test key processes and controls for SOX compliance purposes and help organizations develop an internal audit process that delivers strategic business assurance, identifies business opportunities and enhances organizational value.

We help companies involved in capital markets transactions develop effective tax strategies and tax compliance processes. These actions include complex modeling assistance, capital raising or asset divestitures, corporate restructuring, operations and infrastructure transformation, and human resources management. This enables companies to navigate their way through and around tax, SEC, and other compliance laws and regulations.

Through our industry-leading technology and IA resources, including innovative data and analytics (D&A) tools, extensive benchmarking records, and flexible financial reporting templates, we team with our clients to develop customized strategies that increase efficiency through automation. This allows clients to design and execute capital markets transactions more efficiently and accurately, perform operational and administrative tasks more quickly, reduce mistakes due to human error, and devote more time to their primary business, whether it’s manufacturing, energy, technology innovation, or asset management.
