Our due diligence approach addresses all aspects of your transaction:
Financial due diligence: We conduct thorough quality of earnings analyses to assess the sustainability and accuracy of reported financial performance. Our evaluation includes normalized earnings calculations, working capital analysis and identification of one-time items that could affect valuation and deal structure.
Operational due diligence: We examine operational efficiency, management capabilities and market position to identify value creation opportunities and potential integration challenges. This analysis helps validate your investment thesis and informs post-transaction planning.
Tax due diligence: We evaluate tax compliance, identify potential liabilities and assess tax optimization opportunities to help structure transactions efficiently and minimize unexpected tax exposures.
Technology and cybersecurity due diligence: We assess IT infrastructure, cybersecurity posture and digital assets to identify technological risks and opportunities. This includes evaluating system integrations, data security practices and compliance with industry regulations.
