Due Diligence

The Numbers Tell a Story - -
Arthur Consulting Group Tells You the Real Story!

When buying a company, due diligence can be a critical part of the process. Arthur Consulting Group, inc.'s due diligence practice has resulted in considerable savings for its clients.

For example, a recent Arthur Consulting Group due diligence study of a manufacturing firm encompassed not only a factual review of the financial statements' accuracy but also:

• An operational assessment of manufacturing productivity.
• An analysis of marketing factors affecting the firm's future earnings.
• An evaluation of management's effectiveness and long-term potential.

The findings led to a reduction in the value of the company and a substantial decrease in the purchase price for Arthur Consulting Group's client, the buyer.

Arthur Consulting Group, Inc. brings its broad industry experience and understanding of the economics of business to each project. Our economic and valuation experts look far beyond the balance sheet, analyzing operational issues that may considerably affect the value of your proposed purchase. Only senior-level consultants work on engagements - - so clients are never paying to train others, or relying on the work product of trainees. And, since Arthur Consulting Group is not an accounting firm, we are never in the untenable position of auditing our own work.
