IPO Readiness and Execution Services

IPO planning, assessment, readiness, execution, and post-IPO services

Deciding to go public is an exciting step in a company’s evolution. An IPO offers a unique opportunity to transform your business, but can also present tremendous challenges. Read on for valuable resources to help you navigate the complex IPO process. And when you’re ready to begin, Deloitte can act as the independent adviser you need to help get you through it.

Managing a successful IPO
Things to consider before going public

Deloitte’s IPO services are designed to help companies around the world navigate the IPO process. The critical period for many companies planning an IPO begins six to eighteen months prior to listing and lasts until the six months post-IPO. Deloitte specialists can provide advice and recommendations before, during, and after the IPO. Deloitte’s services range from the development of a personalized IPO readiness assessment, to PMO services, to technical accounting and SEC reporting services, to helping you navigate the IPO and operate as a public company.

Steps toward IPO execution

On the surface, going public seems like a straightforward transaction. In reality, it’s a complex journey that requires planning, guidance, and a well-developed process.

The recent IPO surge proved to be an unprecedented period with over 800 US-based companies going public since the start of 2020 either through a traditional IPO or a SPAC merger. These companies have ranged from those that put in significant time and resources to prepare over a 12–18-month (or longer) period to those that had only a handful of months to prepare and go public.

Audit Readiness Services

Your first financial statement audit is coming. Audit readiness is imperative. Deloitte’s extensive financial statement audit experience means we know what lies ahead for you and your team. Our audit readiness services use that experience to help you reduce your burden and increase your chances for a smooth audit.

SOX and ICFR Services

Some organizations are new to the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act, while others are well versed in its requirements. No matter how mature your SOX program is, it can likely be made more efficient and less burdensome. We can meet you wherever you are in your SOX journey and deliver solutions tailored to your needs.

Preparing for your first-time audit

Before pursuing an initial public offering (IPO) or other exit strategy, an early signal that a startup is approaching maturity is the need for a financial statement audit. Being prepared for your first-time audit is a critical requirement on your path to continued growth and may even boost investor confidence.
