Technical Accounting Matters

Accordion simplifies complex accounting for PE-backed companies and helps clients structure anticipated transactions to obtain optimal financial outcomes in a PE environment.

 

Our team has deep expertise in public and private company accounting advisory – helping clients implement practical policies to address nuanced transactions. We understand the complexities PE-backed companies experience during change of ownership and know the right accounting levers to pull in order to maximize results and achieve objectives.

The Accordion Advantage

  • Multiple Services:

    Our Accordion team has the right on-demand expertise to match your needs: from accounting for an acquisition, to implementing new standards (like ASC 842 lease accounting and/or ASC 606 revenue recognition), to drafting technical accounting memos, to documenting policies to uplift financials to SEC standards for PCAOB audits...and everything in between.

  • Numerous Experts:

    Our people sit at the intersection of technical expertise, operational acumen, and private equity experience. And, in addition to being available for on-demand consultation around a potential transaction, our technical accounting experts can seamlessly dive (deep) into all accounting aspects of a complex deal.
