Transaction Accounting
Transaction Accounting Advisory from Deal Structure to Post-Deal Reporting
Transactions create accounting, reporting and operational consequences that continue long after signing. Contetra helps finance teams understand and implement the accounting for acquisitions, disposals, restructurings, financing arrangements and other complex transactions.
We coordinate accounting analysis with due diligence, valuation inputs, financial statements, systems, consolidation and post-deal integration so that conclusions can be implemented in the reporting cycle.
Connect deal analysis, accounting conclusions and Day-1 reporting execution.
