Comyns Smith McCleary & Deaver

At Comyns, Smith, McCleary & Deaver, LLP we are focused on getting the most out of a transaction for you, our client. Our multi-disciplinary team includes former Big-4 partners and senior managers, as well as CFO’s of closely-held organizations that have gone through what you are doing right now. Our team can assist you in purchasing a company, selling your business and recapitalization or restructuring of the existing structure of your company. When acquiring a business, we can assist by providing due diligence services, including review of the target’s financial and non-financial information. We can evaluate EBITDA, analyze customer receivables and cash flows and identify trends in the business not apparent on the surface. Our team has the experience to evaluate internal controls, tax positions, and key accounting procedures. Most importantly our experienced team of partners and senior managers is able to perform this service quickly, because we all know that deals don’t wait until Monday. We look at acquisitions from a long-term perspective. The tax structure of an acquisition can have implications for the ongoing tax liabilities of the acquired business, as well as the tax liability on the gain when it is ultimately sold. As your business grows, you may need additional equity or debt to reach your goals. We can assist with understanding the accounting and tax implications of issuing debt, issuing new equity, or bringing in new partners to your business. As you prepare to sell your business, we can help you to position your business to maximize your proceeds from sale. We can provide a pre-review or audit of the financial statements to allow for a smooth transaction, or review of internal policies and procedures to improve the perceived value of the organization. Long before this happens, we can also help you with considering the best structure to adopt for a disposition in the future.
