M&A Forensic Diligence | Forensic Accounting | CFO Advisory
We specialize in complex M&A Forensic Diligence, Forensic Accounting and CFO Advisory Services for the Sports, M&E, Tech and CPG sectors. As of 2023, we have advised on over 250 high-profile domestic and international matters for 100 public/private entities, and led due diligence on over 75 transactions totaling $10b.
We leverage years of M&A experience to identify indications of integrity risk including bribery, corruption, conflicts of interest, fraud, sanctions violations, compliance issues and money laundering.
These issues can materially impact valuation but are rarely found in standard financial, legal or tax due diligence.
We investigate concerns around fraudulent reporting, asset misappropriation, bribery and corruption and more at companies ranging from Fortune 100 behemoths to high-growth startups.
Experience in 200+ high-profile matters in industries including Sports, Media, Entertainment, Tech, Consumer Goods and Financial Services.
Guidance to high-growth entities that do not have an existing CFO and are either financially self-sustaining or between their Pre-Seed and Series C capital raise phases.
Areas of expertise include cash flow projections, financial reporting, unit economics, KPIs, working capital and financial environment builds.
