Specialist service
Numbers that hold together when the business is changing hands or changing shape.
Due diligence packages, cut-off statements and reporting through acquisitions, restructurings and wind-downs.
A sale, an acquisition, a receivership or a wind-down puts every number under a light it was not prepared for. Buyers want three years of clean statements. Receivers want a daily trust reconciliation. A wind-down needs final returns that agree with a ledger that is being emptied.
The principal has prepared cut-off statements and due diligence packages through an acquisition and held the accounting function together for a group of companies under a court-appointed receiver. The work is exacting and the timelines are not yours to set. We know how to run it.
