Strengths of IKG FAS
Cross-border M&A practice
Alongside our experience in financial due diligence, valuation and PPA, we understand how deals are run in Europe, including coordination with sell-side advisers and country-specific contract and closing practices. We identify issues that tend to arise in cross-border M&A at an early stage.
Three perspectives
Our experience covers audit and M&A advisory, acquisitions and integration within the European headquarters of a Japanese company, and independent professional support. These perspectives help us identify and organise issues between head office and local entities.
Experience across the Netherlands
Based in the Netherlands, we have worked with Japanese subsidiaries of different sizes and industries, from regional headquarters to local entities without a finance expatriate. We provide practical support at the level of financial management each organisation requires.
