Private Equity

Smart investments begin with clear financial insights and risk mitigation. KSM helps private equity firms evaluate opportunities, uncover risks, and structure deals effectively through due diligence, including financial due diligence and quality of earnings analyses, tax due diligence, and IT due diligence. We provide strategic support in letter-of-intent consultations and identify credits and incentives to help reduce acquisition costs and maximize investment returns.

A seamless transition post-close is critical to stabilizing financial reporting and aligning the company with the investment strategy. KSM helps firms establish financial clarity through post-transaction accounting advisory, which includes assisting with purchase price adjustments, establishing opening balance sheets, and advising on working capital adjustments. We also help standardize accounting policies to create consistency across portfolio companies and provide business valuation to support financial reporting.

Long-term success requires strategic financial and operational improvements. KSM provides ongoing support through tax strategy and compliance, audit services, financial planning and analysis, outsourced finance and accounting, and information technology services to help PE-backed companies enhance efficiency, maintain compliance, and drive growth.

A well-executed exit maximizes value realization. KSM works with private equity firms to provide sell-side financial due diligence, business valuation, and proper accounting structuring and clean-up to support a smooth divestiture process.

Maintaining compliance and mitigating risk at the fund level requires rigorous oversight. KSM helps private equity firms navigate tax complexities and financial reporting requirements, ensuring fund-level transparency and efficiency.
