Timing the market for a successful IPO may be a challenge. Sandy Pfeffer thrives on that challenge, advising companies on activities they can control, so they are ready to move fast when the market is right.
"Failure to coordinate the many moving pieces may result in inefficiencies that can distract management from key tasks during a critical time. Potential consequences of poor pre-IPO planning include higher expenses to implement processes after the fact, non-compliance with regulatory standards, increased risk and diminished investor confidence."
—Sandy Pfeffer in an article about essential planning stages of going public.

Sandy Pfeffer has over 16 years of experience providing a wide range of advisory services to companies that are evaluating and executing transformational activities. Anchored with her significant SEC and technical accounting experience, Sandy provides full-range advisory services to entities preparing for initial public offerings (IPO), US Securities and Exchange (SEC) registration and divestitures/spin-offs.
