As technology advancements continue to create new opportunities in the M&A market, the underlying businesses involved in these transactions have grown increasingly complex. This complexity has presented a myriad of challenges for both buyers and sellers, making the due diligence process an absolute necessity.
Houlihan Lokey’s TAS Technology team includes industry-focused experts in finance, tax, data analytics, and technology, boasting decades of experience in analyzing and advising technology businesses. Our collaborative approach ensures that clients receive comprehensive insights, particularly when dealing with complex issues that demand a multi-disciplinary approach, such as recurring revenue analysis and U.S. GAAP treatment for the capitalization of internally developed software costs. Even early-stage, high-growth companies with limited accounting processes can benefit from our expertise. Further bolstering our depth of experience is the market intelligence and subsector expertise within an array of technology verticals, which are achieved by being a part of one of the largest investment banks in the world. We regularly collaborate with our corporate finance colleagues to ensure that our clients are receiving up-to-date information on prevailing market trends.
Our capabilities extend beyond traditional due diligence. We offer pre-LOI analysis, enabling clients to make informed decisions before entering negotiations. Post-close, our services include financial, accounting, and technology advisory support, ensuring a smooth transition and maximizing the value of the transaction.
