You’ve just closed a deal that brings US reporting into your finance team
A fundraise with US investors, an acquisition by a US company, or a PCAOB audit ahead of a US listing.
- You have a skilled internal finance team, but it's not structured for the cross-border complexity involved.
- You're managing the process with limited capacity to coordinate the various tasks involved.
- The accounting positions established during this period will be reviewed by auditors, investors, or regulators.

What clients say
“In preparation for our first US GAAP group audit at Taktile, our biggest challenge was to identify all areas in our books that need adjustments, especially the ones that go beyond the obvious. [...] Together with her, we identified the necessary adjustments on group and local entity level, which gave us a clear way to become audit-ready.”
“Following investment from a US based listed business, we had to rapidly translate our reporting from UK to US GAAP. [...] Katrina's tried and tested methodology in executing GAAP translation work allowed us to collectively quickly identify where the work needed to be focused.”
“Referred to us by our auditors at PwC, she worked seamlessly with both our audit and legal teams to ensure timely and accurate completion of the ASC 805 memo, SEC pro forma financial statements, and disclosures [...]”
“Her approach to every topic was quite tailored to our business which meant that she only took us through what was of benefit to our company. [...] My team and I now have the knowledge and confidence we need to report under the US GAAP.”
“Katrina was proactive and pragmatic in her approach, gaining a good understanding of our business and delivering the agreed documentation to underpin the financial statements and to support the audit process.”
“After the discovery section of the project Katrina clearly laid out her findings in a memo that was easy to understand and did a follow up call to answer all the questions I had. [...] The memo she produced now forms the basis of our US GAAP accounting policy.”
