Technical Accounting and Reporting Advisory Services

Providing support as issues arise or collaborating long term

Businesses are demanding more from CFOs, CAOs, controllers, and their teams—requiring these professionals to be more agile and dynamic while remaining efficient. Add the need to attract and retain finance and accounting talent, and the strain can be immense. Through our deep technical accounting and reporting experience, our advisory services help companies meet today’s challenges.

Complex accounting and reporting challenges

Preparing financial statements is more challenging than ever. Market downturns can increase demand for impairment analyses, evaluations of changes to financing arrangements, and possible evaluations of whether a company can continue as a going concern. In addition, market upswings may shift the focus to topics like acquisitions, divestitures, and IPO readiness and execution. All the while, companies must manage status quo implementation of new accounting standards, meet reporting requirements, and ensure accounting policies are appropriate—and retain or have the right talent to perform the work.

Support that is responsive to your needs

Our accounting advisory professionals can help you meet these challenges—either as specific technical accounting or reporting matters arise, or by engaging with your finance and accounting organization on a more consistent and long-term basis with our cosource services.
