Our philosophy is “Why change what already works?” Instead, we focus on creating and automating specific solutions to address the unique constraints of each client’s accounting platform. We leverage the processes from the platform and combine them with our custom solutions to deliver the most comprehensive set of quarterly reports and analyses available.
The following work is completed during Client integration:
► Collection of information for a thorough understanding of the equity compensation program
► Automated solutions for any identified issue within the equity compensation Accounting and Finance processes
► Calculations and supporting memo for cumulative effect adjustments, if there is any change to expense accounting as a result of the integration
► Calculations and supporting memo for DTA and Purchase Accounting roll-forward data (balances at the integration date)
► Set up for all reports that are customized for each client
► Completion of an interim equity compensation test close
