We Support Opening Balance Sheet Acquisition Accounting

August 07 , 2023

We launched a new practice to support our clients with accounting for acquisitions. When an existing business acquires a new entity, there is an inordinate amount of work to be done, which may be overwhelming for the acquirer and a conflict of interest for its accounting firm. That is where we come in.

We perform the following tasks:

  • Analyze valuations, purchase price adjustments & goodwill.
  • Ensure revenue recognition is appropriate.
  • Convert, when necessary, to GAAP accounting and from cash to accrual.
  • Prepare acquisition footnote.
  • Document all processes and ensure supporting documents are detailed to enable a smooth audit.

After the opening balance sheet work, we can also:

  • Prepare the financial statements, with notes and supporting documentation.
  • Perform accounting consolidations.
  • Evaluate the internal control structure & accounting/finance department staffing.
  • Review existing budgets & cash flow projections or prepare as needed.

We are also available for any traditional, fractional CFO work and senior-level project work, should you have any clients that could benefit from these services.

We would be happy to discuss this further in a confidential meeting.
