Technical accounting advisory that holds up under audit.

Most accounting is routine. A minority of it is not, and that minority is where companies get hurt. A new revenue stream does not map cleanly to any example in the standard. A financing round comes with warrants and a conversion feature nobody knows how to classify. You sign a lease with a purchase option and a variable payment tied to usage. Each of these has a right answer under the standards, but finding it takes research, judgment, and the discipline to write down why.

That is what US GAAP and IFRS advisory delivers. We take the transaction or the reporting question you are stuck on, work it against the actual guidance, and give you a documented position you can book and defend. The output is rarely a one-line answer. It is a technical memo that states the facts, walks the standard, weighs the alternatives, and lands on a conclusion with the citations to back it.

The projects that land on our desk cluster into a handful of themes: revenue recognition, lease accounting, converting between frameworks, preparing financial statements from the ground up, accounting for complex or one-off transactions, and getting a set of books ready for an IPO or a first audit. The common thread is that a wrong call is expensive to unwind later, and a documented right call saves you an argument with your auditor.

You do not call for advice on routine entries. You call when the standard stops giving obvious answers and the stakes get real. A few moments send companies looking for technical accounting advisory:

• You changed how you make money. A new pricing model, a bundled offering, a usage-based tier, or a channel partner arrangement can rewrite how and when you recognize revenue. Getting ASC 606 or IFRS 15 wrong here distorts every metric investors watch.
• You signed something complicated. Convertible notes, SAFEs, earnouts, warrants, embedded derivatives, and business combinations all carry accounting that is easy to get wrong and painful to restate.
• Your reporting framework has to change. A new parent, a cross-border deal, or a lender covenant can force an IFRS to US GAAP conversion, or the reverse, on a deadline.
• You are heading into an audit or an IPO. First-time audits and public-company readiness surface accounting questions that never mattered while you were small and private.

The pattern is always the same. The cost of getting it right up front is a memo and some hours. The cost of getting it wrong is a restatement, a delayed close, or a diligence process that stalls while everyone argues about a number. We would rather you spend the small amount early.

The core deliverable is a technical accounting memo: a document that states the facts, applies the standard, considers the alternatives, and reaches a conclusion your auditor can accept. Depending on the engagement, you also get the journal entries, the disclosure language, restated or newly prepared financial statements, or a conversion workbook that reconciles every material difference between the two frameworks.

Timing depends on the question. A focused revenue or lease position on a single contract can take days to a couple of weeks. A full IFRS to US GAAP conversion or a set of IPO-ready financials runs longer, because we have to work through every account, document each difference, and build the support an auditor and, eventually, a regulator will test. We scope the timeline before we start, and we flag anything that would move it as soon as we see it, so a diligence deadline or an audit date does not catch you short.

Many advisers know one framework well and treat the other as a footnote. We work fluently in both. That matters the moment your reporting has to cross a border, satisfy a new parent, or serve investors who read statements in a different standard. A single team handles the conversion or the dual-reporting question, so you are not paying two specialists to hand your file back and forth and hope their conclusions agree.

There is a second advantage that is easy to underrate. We are a licensed CPA firm that also examines controls and audits financial statements, so when we take a technical position, we already see how it moves through your billing, your close, and your reporting. A revenue conclusion is not an abstract citation to us. It is entries that have to reconcile, disclosures that have to tie, and a control environment that has to produce the number every period. The same team that reads the standard understands the machinery behind your books, and that keeps a clever memo from becoming an operational headache later.
