Transactions expose everything a business has deferred. Diligence does not create problems, it finds them, and the ones it finds late are the expensive ones. We work on both sides of that, preparing companies to be examined and examining them on behalf of others.
Work in this practice is delivered under the same operating standard that applies across the firm. The compliance calendar is mapped at the outset and driven by us, positions involving judgement are documented with the authority relied upon at the time they are taken, and nothing is filed or issued without an independent internal review by someone other than the preparer.
Where a matter touches another practice area, and most do, it is handled inside the same file rather than referred outward. That is the point of holding these disciplines together.
Common questions
How long before a raise should we start preparing?
Two quarters is comfortable. One is workable. Starting after the term sheet arrives means fixing things under time pressure, which is where valuation tends to be lost.
Do you act for buyers as well as sellers?
Yes, though not on the same transaction. Buy side diligence and sell side preparation are both part of the practice.
Other practice areas
Direct Tax Advisory
Corporate and personal direct tax managed as a continuous cycle rather than a year end scramble. We prepare the computation, make the filing, and defend the position taken.
IIInternational Taxation and Transfer Pricing
For groups whose value crosses a border, exposure is decided by structure long before it is decided by filing. We advise at the structuring stage and defend the position afterwards.
IIIGST and Indirect Tax
GST rewards businesses that reconcile continuously and penalises those that reconcile annually. We run it as a monthly discipline with the audit trail built as we go.
