Embarking on a new business acquisition or merger calls for a unique level of oversight, experience, and assurances. A transaction of this type warrants a careful review of issues, assumptions, and detailed financial information. Our due diligence team provides the high level of confidence and assurance you need.

By adapting our process to achieve your goals, our team works with you to focus on the significant issues, both financial and non-financial.

Using the information obtained during a due diligence visit, our auditors and tax specialists work with you to arrive at the most favorable accounting and tax structure for the transaction.
