One of the most significant costs when buying or selling a company is the tax cost. Planning in advance of a transaction allows for identification of possible tax-reduction strategies, which can lead to greater cash flow for the business owners.
At Drucker & Scaccetti, we focus on Tax As A Business Strategy®. The decisions you make as you buy or sell a business often have nuanced or unforeseen tax consequences. Having the tax professionals at Drucker & Scaccetti on your side as you buy or sell your business can help you uncover tax-saving and cash flow opportunities at each step of the process: from financial and tax structuring and planning before a buyer is identified, through reviewing financial terms of the legal documents (including working capital requirements, agreement of sale, and Letter of Intent) and finishing with assisting with post-closing accounting and filing the income tax returns to report the transaction.
We work with your existing team (usually an in-house accountant, broker, and transaction attorney) to reduce risk and advise on the tax and financial implications of the deal. Our unique in-depth knowledge of the intersection between tax, law, and accounting can help identify planning opportunities, often resulting in greater cash flow from the transaction.
Drucker & Scaccetti has a dedicated Mergers & Acquisitions team that focuses on the cash flow and tax impacts of buying or selling a middle market private business. Our services include:
