M&A Financial Advisory for Every Stage of a Transaction
What makes us different?
M&A transactions demand a level of financial rigor that most internal teams are not staffed to provide on their own. Whether you are acquiring a business, preparing for a sale, or managing the accounting that follows a transaction close, the complexity is significant — and the cost of errors, in time and in deal economics, is real.
Corviniti provides financial advisory services across the full M&A lifecycle. We support buyers who need an independent view of target company performance, sellers who need their financial story organized before going to market, and management teams navigating the accounting that follows a transaction close. Our work covers quality of earnings analysis, financial due diligence, purchase price allocation, and the technical accounting that M&A transactions consistently generate.
Our team brings Big 4 transaction advisory experience to every engagement, with a practical focus on the issues that actually affect deal outcomes. We work on deal timelines, communicate clearly with legal counsel and investment bankers, and deliver findings that hold up under scrutiny.
We help with:
- Quality of Earnings Analysis: Identify non-recurring items, management add-backs, and accounting adjustments that affect reported EBITDA and sustainable earnings.
- Buy-Side Financial Due Diligence: Analyze target company financials, assess working capital, evaluate revenue quality, and identify risks that affect deal value.
- Sell-Side Financial Preparation: Organize and present financial results clearly, anticipate buyer questions, and prepare the data room for a smooth diligence process.
- Purchase Price Allocation: Identify and fair-value acquired assets and liabilities under ASC 805, including intangible assets, and prepare the opening balance sheet.
- Business Combinations Accounting: Determine the accounting acquirer, apply the correct business combination accounting, and prepare the technical documentation your auditors require.
- Working Capital Analysis: Assess historical working capital trends, identify normalized levels, and evaluate the appropriateness of proposed working capital targets in the purchase agreement.
- M&A Financial Modeling: Build or review the financial model used for valuation, synergy analysis, or integration planning.
- Post-Close Integration Support: Support financial integration following close, including chart of accounts alignment, intercompany eliminations, and combined entity reporting.
- Transaction Process Coordination: Manage the financial workstreams within the broader deal team, coordinating directly with auditors, legal counsel, and investment bankers.
- Cross-Border Transaction Support: Provide financial due diligence and accounting advisory for transactions involving foreign targets, IFRS reporting, or multi-currency structures.

Frequently Asked Questions
We provide financial due diligence, quality of earnings analysis, purchase price allocation, business combinations accounting, sell-side financial preparation, and post-close integration support. Our focus is on the financial and accounting workstreams within a transaction — not legal or investment banking services.
Both. On the buy side, we help acquirers understand what they are buying — analyzing the target’s earnings quality, working capital, balance sheet, and financial risks. On the sell side, we help sellers organize their financial presentation, anticipate buyer questions, and prepare their data room and management package before going to market.
For buy-side engagements, we typically engage after a letter of intent has been signed and the diligence period has begun. For sell-side engagements, we often engage earlier — before the company goes to market — so the financial package is ready when buyers begin their review. For accounting advisory, we engage throughout the transaction and into the post-close period.
A quality of earnings analysis examines the reported earnings of a business to identify items that are non-recurring, non-cash, or otherwise not representative of ongoing performance. This includes one-time revenue and expense items, management add-backs, accounting policy differences, and working capital normalization. The output is an adjusted earnings figure that more accurately reflects the sustainable performance of the business.
A standard quality of earnings engagement takes two to four weeks, depending on the size and complexity of the business and the availability of financial data. More complex situations — multi-entity structures, international operations, or unusual revenue models — typically require four to six weeks. We are experienced working on compressed deal timelines when the situation requires it.
Yes. Post-close accounting is one of the areas where companies most commonly need outside support. We prepare the purchase price allocation under ASC 805, build the opening balance sheet, manage the first consolidated financial statements, and support the audit of the acquisition accounting. We also help with financial integration — chart of accounts alignment, intercompany eliminations, and combined entity reporting.
Yes. We regularly support private equity sponsors on buy-side and sell-side transactions, as well as providing ongoing financial reporting and accounting advisory support to portfolio companies between transactions.
Yes. We regularly work with foreign private issuers and companies with cross-border structures, including IFRS reporting, US GAAP reconciliations, and multi-entity consolidations for companies with domestic and international subsidiaries.
In most cases, we can begin within a few days of finalizing our agreement. Our onboarding process is straightforward — a brief discovery session, a clear statement of work, and secure access setup. We do not have lengthy intake procedures that delay the start of actual work.
