Comprehensive Mergers and Acquisitions Solutions
Acquiring a business is a complex undertaking that extends far beyond negotiations and purchase agreements.

Without proper analysis, even promising opportunities can lead to unexpected risks.
Professional advisory services provide the expertise needed to evaluate potential acquisitions thoroughly. At Edelkoort Smethurst CPAs LLP, we ensure that every element of the transaction is approached with diligence and foresight, from pricing and structure to taxation and integration. You can move forward with confidence, knowing that your investment is in the hands of a trusted business partner committed to your endeavour’s success.
How We Can Help
At Edelkoort Smethurst CPAs LLP, we provide a full range of Mergers and Acquisitions advisory services. We offer an approach that is collaborative, strategic, and tailored to the unique goals of your business, including:
- Pre-Acquisition Planning: We will help you define your acquisition objectives, identify potential targets, and establish financial and strategic evaluation criteria. Our business professionals assess market conditions, industry trends, and competitive positioning to ensure that potential targets align with your long-term goals.
- Financial Due Diligence: Before finalizing an acquisition, thorough due diligence is essential to identify risks, confirm financial accuracy, and uncover potential liabilities. We will conduct in-depth reviews of financial statements, tax records, contracts, and contingent liabilities, and evaluate working capital requirements, cash flow projections, and operational dependencies to ensure there are no financial surprises post-acquisition.
- Structuring the Deal: The way an acquisition is structured can significantly impact tax efficiency, risk exposure, and future profitability. We will advise you on the optimal transaction structure based on your specific goals, ensuring the Purchase and Sale Agreement (PSA) and related documentation accurately reflect the negotiated terms and protect your interests.
- Tax Planning and Compliance: Every acquisition carries essential tax implications for both the buyer and the seller. We identify opportunities for credit optimization while mitigating tax liability. Our experts ensure compliance with all applicable federal and provincial tax laws.
- Negotiation Support: Negotiating a merger or acquisition requires financial acumen, objectivity, and experience. We will evaluate offers, review terms, and develop strategies for negotiation that protect your interests and achieve favourable outcomes.
- Reviewing PSAs: The Purchase and Sale Agreement is the central document that formalizes the terms of the acquisition. Our accountants review and interpret key financial and tax implications.
- Post-Acquisition Integration and Reporting: Once an acquisition is complete, the real work begins, integrating financial systems and aligning operations. We can provide post-acquisition support, including financial reporting alignment, budgeting, and system integration.
