Prepare carve-out financial statements

Preparing a business for a carve-out, spin-off and/or sale is a complex exercise that requires effective planning and strong execution. Typically, carve-out financial statements are the foundation from which all other deal related financial information is either derived from or reconciled to, thereby supporting various financial information needs of multiple transaction participants. Time and time again we hear that preparing financial information for the business to be divested is one of the key and most complex issues they face in executing a sale or spin-off of a business.

Having a robust carve-out process that is manageable, flexible, scalable and addresses the multiple forms a divestiture can take, enables organizations to drive quality, efficiency and value into the deal process.
