We have in-depth knowledge in the field of tax legislation and long-term experience in financial and tax analysis of trade companies and businesses (due diligence).

Financial and tax due diligence is our core type of service offered in terms of transaction advisory services. This involves a review of the past performance of the business and its future prospects.

A professional financial due diligence will identify issues for the buyer which he shall consider in their deal negotiations so that appropriate actions can be taken such as: price reduction, amendments for the integration process or funding arrangements.
