Three services. One transaction, fully covered.
Fundara's services are each designed for a specific phase of the transaction lifecycle — pre-closing examination, post-closing allocation, and integration accounting support. They can be engaged individually or in combination.
Pricing is transparent, scope is defined before any engagement begins, and deliverables are formatted for the people who will actually use them. This page outlines what each service covers and what it costs.

Transaction Due Diligence
Before a deal closes, buyers need a clear picture of what they're acquiring — not the picture the financial statements present, but the picture that emerges after adjustments for items that won't recur, expenses that were owner-specific, and timing differences that distort reported margins.
This engagement is structured around that need. We examine historical financial statements, analyze working capital trends, identify non-recurring and non-arm's-length items, and produce a normalized view of earnings that reflects what the business actually earns under ordinary operating conditions.
The deliverable is a due diligence report with supporting schedules — formatted for your deal team and advisors. If something significant surfaces during fieldwork, we communicate it as it emerges rather than waiting for the final report.

Purchase Price Allocation
When a transaction closes, accounting standards require that the purchase price be allocated across acquired assets and liabilities at fair value — with any residual recorded as goodwill. This allocation carries consequences that run through financial statements for years: amortization schedules, deferred tax positions, and goodwill impairment testing all depend on getting the initial allocation right.
Fundara manages this engagement from initial asset identification through to final documentation. We coordinate with valuation specialists on fair value assessments, prepare journal entries and disclosure schedules, and produce the opening balance sheet for the combined entity — in compliance with applicable accounting standards.
The work is documented in a way that holds up through the first post-closing audit — with assumptions explained, references cited, and every allocation traceable to its basis.

Post-Merger Integration Accounting
The months immediately following a transaction close are among the most demanding for a finance function. Two reporting systems need to become one. Accounting policies that differed between entities need to be aligned. Combined financial statements need to be produced — often under time pressure and with reduced organizational bandwidth.
This engagement provides support through that period. We work alongside the internal finance team on consolidation of financial records, chart of accounts alignment, policy harmonization, and the preparation of combined statements. We also help establish the reporting procedures and internal controls that the combined entity will carry forward.
Typical engagements span three to six months following the closing date, with exact duration calibrated to the complexity of the transaction and the state of each entity's reporting environment at close.
