Deal Accounting

We support you modularly from the pre-deal to the post-deal phase. As experienced auditors we know about the strict reporting requirements for acquisitions, sales and conversions. We help you to identify risks early on, leverage accounting potentials and successfully master the challenges of the deal. In every type of transaction, we advise you on complex accounting issues in accordance with German Commercial Code (HGB), IFRS and US-GAAP (e.g. mapping of earn-outs, share-based compensation according to IFRS 2, discontinued operations according to IFRS 5, business combinations according to IFRS 3, etc.)

Buyer Side

On the buyer side, we provide support with accounting issues in the Financial Due Diligence. With a focus on accounting, we analyze purchase agreements and financial statements for effects on the buyer’s opening balance sheet (in particular PPA Reviews). We also assist with the transfer of financial information to the buyer’s opening balance sheet and advise on accounting issues.

Seller Side

On the seller side, we support the preparation of audit-proof financial reporting as a basis for decision-making for your stakeholders, using flexible reporting tools. We also assist in the preparation of appendices to company purchase agreements and prepare interim and final balance sheets in the sale or conversion scenario.

Post Merger Integration

In the area of post merger integration, we support buyers and sellers in connecting and standardizing financial reporting in order to create sustainable and reliable reporting with efficient processes.

Carve-out

If parts of companies are spun off and then sold, we have an experienced team of Carve-out experts who, in addition to financial reporting, use efficient reporting tools to take over project management and successfully guide you through the Carve-out.
