Accounting Advisory

A practical approach to complex accounting and financial reporting issues.

With lean accounting and finance departments and an ever-changing regulatory landscape, companies often struggle with the accounting and financial reporting requirements of non-recurring business activities. Such requirements can be complex and time consuming, whether the matter is the result of a merger, acquisition, divestiture, initial public offering (IPO), significant new contract, or adoption of a newly issued accounting standard.

Our professionals’ large-firm and corporate experience, combined with a hands-on approach, uniquely positions Stout to deliver accounting expertise and horsepower around complex accounting and financial reporting topics. We offer a flexible and practical approach and can assist with projects large and small. Because we are not a CPA firm, Stout is not bound by independence restrictions.
