Our buyer services assist private equity and corporate clients to evaluate key value drivers and risk factors associated with potential targets, enabling them to:

• gain an understanding of significant patterns in the target business’ historical performance.
  
• evaluate the quality and sustainability of the target business’ reported earnings and free cash flow.
  
• analyze the quality of net assets being acquired.
  
• understand historical working capital patterns and identify opportunities to mitigate working capital levels
  after closing.
  
• assess the achievability of the target business’ financial forecasts.
  
• address key tax and financial reporting risks in purchase agreement negotiations.
  
• evaluate post-closing purchase price adjustments.
  
• consider the effects of purchase accounting and valuation requirements in post-transaction financial
  models for recently acquired businesses.
