A transaction doesn’t end at signing. The accounting work that follows determines whether the deal delivers what it was meant to. FinApt Group supports the accounting side of your transaction, before and after close.
Transaction Accounting Support
Accounting support through the transaction process itself: structuring the accounting treatment for the deal, coordinating with your due diligence findings, and preparing the accounting positions a transaction requires.
Post-Transaction Reporting
Once a deal closes, the accounting work continues. That means integrating financials, applying purchase price allocation outcomes, and establishing the reporting a newly combined or restructured entity needs going forward.
- Opening balance sheet preparation post-close
- Integration of acquired entity financials into group reporting
- Ongoing reporting structure for the post-transaction entity
How This Connects to the Wider Deal
Transaction accounting sits alongside the due diligence and valuation work our Financial & Transaction Advisory team delivers. Due diligence findings and valuation outcomes (including Purchase Price Allocation) feed directly into the accounting positions taken here. See our financial and transaction advisory services.
Why FinApt Group for Transaction Accounting
- Works directly alongside our due diligence, valuation and M&A advisory team. Not a separate, disconnected accounting exercise.
- Experience with the full transaction lifecycle, from pre-deal review through post-close integration.
- Practical focus on getting the acquired or restructured entity onto clean, reportable accounting quickly.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is transaction accounting advisory?
Accounting support specific to a transaction: an acquisition, sale, merger or restructuring. It covers the accounting treatment during the deal and the reporting requirements once it closes.
How does transaction accounting relate to due diligence?
Due diligence identifies the financial position and risks in a target. Transaction accounting applies the accounting treatment that follows from the deal structure and due diligence findings, including at post-close integration.
What is purchase price allocation, and does this service cover it?
Purchase price allocation determines how the purchase price of an acquisition is allocated across the acquired assets and liabilities for accounting purposes. Our valuation team handles the PPA calculation itself (see financial and transaction advisory). This service applies the resulting accounting treatment.
Do you support integration after a deal closes, or only up to signing?
We support both: accounting through the deal process and the reporting and integration work that follows close.
