Financial Due Diligence
by Jacques Jonassaint

Tailored strategies for sellers and buyers.

Our people are trained to recognize, understand, and communicate key value drivers, dangers, and the things that matter most to our clients. We concentrate on strategic goals, negotiation opportunities, and operational efficiencies in specifying the service suitable to every engagement.

Our due diligence strategy goes beyond Generally Accepted Accounting Principles accounting and incorporates a comprehensive assessment of business model dangers. This approach is supported by:

Developing comprehensive work plans that deliver an educational quality of earnings result as well as reconciliations of free cash flows.

Thoroughly analyzing profitability by business segment, client, product, or service, which can be frequently fundamental to encouraging our client’s investment thesis.

Assessing a target’s working capital components in detail with the intention of encouraging the working capital peg calculations.

Focused attention on reserves and accruals on the balance sheet.

Preparing bridge investigations of sales and earnings with every step supported by underlying analysis.

Understanding all liabilities, on and off the balance sheet, and also the quality of the assets is key to arriving at a final purchase price for an acquisition.
