Capital Markets Accounting and Advisory Services
What makes us different?
Capital markets transactions are among the most demanding financial events a company will face. Whether you are going public, completing an acquisition, or navigating a SPAC merger, the accounting and reporting requirements are substantial — and the cost of getting them wrong, in time and reputation, is significant.
Corviniti provides accounting and financial reporting advisory services across the full spectrum of capital markets activity. We work with management teams before, during, and after transactions to ensure the financial foundation is solid, the filings are accurate, and the reporting infrastructure is built to sustain ongoing public company obligations.
Our team brings direct Big 4 capital markets experience to every engagement. We understand what the SEC looks for, what PCAOB auditors require, and how to move a complex transaction forward without unnecessary delays.
We help with:
- IPO Readiness and Execution: Assess your public company readiness, prepare historical financial statements, and support the S-1 registration process from draft through SEC effectiveness.
- SPAC Advisory and De-SPAC Support: Advise on SPAC structures, manage the accounting for de-SPAC transactions, and prepare the Form S-4 financial sections.
- Direct Listing Advisory: Provide the same financial reporting and SEC registration support for direct listings as we provide for traditional IPOs.
- SEC Reporting: Prepare 10-K, 10-Q, S-1, and 8-K filings with the technical accuracy and disclosure quality that regulators and investors expect.
- PCAOB Audit Coordination: Prepare audit-ready workpapers, technical memos, and supporting documentation to support your external PCAOB auditors.
- Technical Accounting for Transactions: Resolve the complex accounting issues that arise in capital markets transactions — warrant classification, earnout accounting, business combinations, and more.
- Foreign Private Issuer Advisory: Support FPIs with IFRS reporting, US GAAP reconciliations, and Form F-1, F-4, and 20-F registration and reporting.
- SOX and ICFR Readiness: Build the internal control framework required for public company certification before your first SOX compliance cycle.
- Post-Transaction Reporting: Help your team manage the transition to ongoing SEC reporting obligations and maintain compliance with public company requirements.
- Going Public Advisory: End-to-end guidance for companies evaluating or actively pursuing a path to the public markets, regardless of the transaction structure.

Frequently Asked Questions
We support companies navigating both public and private market transactions. This includes traditional initial public offerings (IPOs), SPAC mergers (de-SPAC transactions), reverse mergers with a shell company, and direct listings. We also support other transactions like private equity investments, venture capital tranches, and complex debt or equity financing rounds.
Traditional accounting focuses on historical record-keeping and basic compliance. Our capital markets service is transaction-oriented and focused on regulatory readiness. We help companies upgrade their financials to meet SEC, PCAOB, and institutional investor standards, handling complex areas like equity structures, registration disclosures, and pro forma reporting.
Institutional investors, underwriters, and regulators require absolute transparency. Any material error, restatement, or delay in your financial reporting can damage market credibility, lower valuations, or entirely derail a transaction. We ensure your financial statements are complete, accurate, and fully compliant with U.S. GAAP or IFRS before they face outside scrutiny.
We evaluate the accounting and disclosure impacts of complex financing arrangements. This includes preferred stock tranches, convertible debt instruments, Simple Agreements for Future Equity (SAFEs), warrant liabilities, debt-to-equity conversions (i.e. under ASC 480 and 815), and stock-based compensation (ASC 718).
We help formalize, document, and apply accounting policies consistently across all reporting periods. Our team prepares audit-ready technical accounting memos covering significant estimates, revenue recognition (ASC 606), lease accounting (ASC 842), and business combinations (ASC 805).
We manage the financial components of SEC registration statements and filings. We compile the necessary financial tables, draft complex footnote disclosures, and structure the Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) section to ensure compliance with Regulation S-X and S-K.
We prepare management for the intensive look-back audits required for market entry. We build detailed supporting workpapers, lead sheets, and rollforwards that match your trial balance, resolving complex technical issues in advance so your external auditors can complete their fieldwork efficiently.
Yes. Public and private market investors require a clear, consistent financial narrative. We review your external messaging, investor presentations, and roadshow materials to ensure all key performance indicators (KPIs) and financial metrics align with your audited financial statements and SEC disclosures.
We help companies transition to public-company-appropriate governance structures. This involves evaluating your current internal control environment, identifying gaps, and designing scalable control processes (COSO framework) that satisfy board oversight requirements and prepare your team for future Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance.
Yes. Entering the market is only the first step. We assist newly public or institutional-backed companies with post-transaction compliance, including accelerating the month-end close, managing quarterly and annual reporting cycles, and preparing ongoing SEC filings (Forms 10-Q and 10-K).
Yes. We regularly work with Foreign Private Issuers (FPIs) and cross-border entities navigating entry into the U.S. capital markets. We handle the unique accounting challenges of international transactions, including compiling financials under IFRS, preparing detailed IFRS-to-U.S. GAAP reconciliations if required, and drafting Form F-1 or Form F-4 registration statements.
We follow a structured, four-step onboarding process:
- Discovery & Scoping: We review your transaction timelines, current financial reporting setup, and technical accounting requirements.
- Statement of Work: We deliver a clear proposal outlining specific project deliverables, key milestones, and fee structures.
- Secure Access Setup: We establish an encrypted data room to protect your information and secure necessary read-only access to your general ledger and historical files.
- Kickoff: We host a brief alignment meeting, introduce your dedicated advisory team, and immediately assume management of the transaction timeline.
In most cases, we can mobilize and begin work within a few business days of finalizing our engagement agreement, aligning our execution schedule directly with your target transaction and filing deadlines.
