Mergers and acquisitions
Buy or sell a business with numbers you can rely on.
Buying or selling a business is one of the largest financial decisions an owner makes. We help you understand what the numbers really say about a business, structure the transaction to legitimately optimize the tax result, and work alongside your lawyer from the first offer to closing.
What we help with
- Financial due diligence on a business you plan to buy: quality of earnings, working capital, debt and commitments
- Preparing your business for sale: clean financial statements, normalized earnings and records a buyer can trust
- Valuation support and help weighing an offer or an asking price
- Tax structuring of the deal: share or asset sale, the lifetime capital gains exemption, holding companies and rollovers
- Purchase price allocation, closing adjustments and the opening balance sheet after the deal
- Financial statements and tax filings for the combined business after closing
Let's talk about your business.
Tell us what you need, whether it's an audit, a tax question or a letter from the CRA. You'll get a clear answer on how we can help and what it involves, with the fee confirmed in writing before any work begins.
