Is your company ready for IPO? Planning and preparation for a successful IPO is a vital process and can be a complex and challenging journey. Deloitte’s IPO transaction services can take you to the starting line – and help ensure success beyond by:

• Evaluating strategic options on going public
• Assessing the company’s readiness to IPO
• Execute and remediate on IPO activities, including establishing key controls
• Implement and monitor infrastructure for the on-going operation as a public company

Deloitte’s services span the IPO lifecycle, from pre-IPO services to IPO execution support and post-IPO assistance. While preparation for an IPO can take up to 24 months, Deloitte can provide value at any point along the journey.

Mergers and acquisitions mean a time of rapid change – and rapid opportunity – for companies. These services can help CFOs, CAOs and finance teams embrace the change to create opportunities for true transformation. We can help by providing pre and post-acquisition support, including:

• Day 1 to end state evaluation, assessment and execution of the finance integration strategy, across the people, processes, technology and synergies priorities,
• Anticipate and track synergies and challenges
• Accounting advice and support including purchase price allocation

Our combined M&A and finance approach helps CFOs focus on the critical finance elements required to complete a successful M&A transaction from day 1 to transformation.

• Assisting with the separation strategy, including identifying cost reduction opportunities, anticipate separation challenges and capability gaps
• New finance function stand-up
  Operational, financial reporting and technical accounting support

• Finance impact assessments
• Finance implementation and establishment plans
• Pro-forma financial reporting
• Finance resource augmentation
