Beers + Cutler's transaction advisory services professionals provide practical expertise at every stage of a transaction. We have extensive experience in both private industry and public accounting and have served a variety of industries.
We offer the following core transaction services:
As a company progresses through different stages in its business life cycle, there are turning points that can significantly increase or decrease shareholder value. Rarely do companies have internal staff with the necessary expertise to handle extraordinary “life events” such as capital raising, mergers and acquisitions, outsourcing, reorganizations, divestigures and liquidity events. Without proper representation, expertise and a clear plan, tremendous value can be lost.
Whether for an acquisition, recapitalization or taking advantage of internal growth opportunities, the capital raising process can present many different challenges and opportunities. A full understanding of the company, strategic objectives and current financial model is required. Our professionals have extensive experience with the capital raising process and provide the following services:
- Confidential memorandum assistance
- Financial modeling and analysis
- Identification of potential capital sources

Our professionals combine experiences as former CFOs and controllers to provide insight to client challenges. Our core service offerings include:

- Business reporting and business intelligence
