Acquisition Due Diligence Accountant

I’m midway through a business acquisition and have reached the due-diligence stage. What I need now is a sharp accountant who can dig into the numbers and either confirm or challenge the story I’ve been told.

The assignment centres on valuation. You’ll take charge of the financial analysis—reviewing historical statements, normalising earnings, testing working-capital needs, and building a forward-looking model. Alongside that, I expect a concise market analysis that benchmarks the target against its peers and highlights competitive pressures or tailwinds that could affect future cash flows. Finally, I want a clear-eyed risk assessment that flags operational, financial, regulatory, or concentration risks and assigns a probability / impact rating to each.

Please structure your findings in a short written report accompanied by the working Excel (or Google Sheets) model. Summaries and visual aids—ratio dashboards, sensitivity tables, scenario charts—are welcome if they help me make a go / no-go decision quickly.

I have direct access to management and the dataroom is open, so you’ll get whatever documents you request. Turnaround within the next two weeks is ideal, but let me know if you need slightly longer.

If you’ve completed similar buy-side due-diligence mandates and can point to concrete results, I’d love to see them when you reply.
