Our seasoned Transaction Advisory experts have represented clients of all sizes in buying and selling businesses. In conjunction with SMART’s team of accounting specialists, we provide all aspects of financial and tax due diligence services helping clients looking to buy a company to minimize tax exposures and to identify opportunities for tax savings. We can also provide valuable advice related to structuring the deal in order to maximize prospective tax deductions and structuring business operations to provide optimal tax efficiency after the acquisition.

For companies and their owners looking to sell a business, our services may include performing a seller’s due diligence review of tax documents to prepare for buyer’s due diligence, modeling the expected tax and cash flow consequences of multiple alternative transactions and structures and preparing purchase price allocations to minimize the tax impact of the sale to the sellers. Other tax due diligence services for buyers and sellers include review of agreement documents, preparation of required tax filings related to the transaction, and deal negotiation and support. Finally, we can assist buyers and sellers in determining the appropriate and optimal tax treatment of the significant transaction costs that can be incurred in connection with a deal.
