PKF North America Redefines Transaction Advisory and Valuation Services with Launch of New PKF Advisory Venture

Group combines expertise and offerings of 6 industry-leading firms in the PKF network to create nationwide, integrated team of advisory experts

The North American Board of PKF International, a network of legally independent member firms providing accounting, tax and business advisory services in over 400 locations in 150 countries around the world, announced today the formation of PKF Advisory, LLC. The new venture combines the transaction advisory and valuation practices of six leading North American firms in the PKF network. It offers streamlined access to extensive industry insight, real-world business acumen and seamless service integration across geographies to help private equity firms and businesses address increasing complexity amid ongoing pressure to drive growth and stay ahead of change.

“Businesses today aren’t just pursuing growth, they’re pursuing transformation across geographies, partnerships and lines of business,” said Byron Hebert, Managing Director of PKF Advisory. “PKF Advisory offers companies a new and better way to minimize costs, maximize efficiencies and realize new innovations through high-touch relationships and a consistent approach by a national team with transaction advisory and valuation experts.”

PKF Advisory specialists guide clients through the strategic, operational, regulatory and financial aspects of M&A transactions, valuations and other business advisory challenges. Valuation services include valuations for financial reporting (fair value and purchase price allocations), tax purposes and financial forensics and litigation. Transaction advisory practice areas include pre- and post-acquisition due diligence and integration, quality of earnings analysis, carve-out assistance, bankruptcy and restructuring and market value analysis.

PKF Advisory offers a nationwide, integrated team of consultants with deep experience and far-reaching expertise from six leading North American firms in the PKF network:

• Berkowitz Pollack Brant
• JLK Rosenberger
• PKF Boston
• PKF Mueller
• PKF O’Connor Davies
• Pannell Kerr Forster of Texas, P.C. (PKF Texas)

This national presence is anchored by a commitment to client service and a local presence in key markets. PKF Advisory is structured to eliminate the need for multiple advisory firms and external partnerships to accomplish complex business goals. Instead, private equity firms and business enterprises can rely on an approach that offers intelligence across sectors and specialties without sacrificing superior working relationships and unwavering client focus.

PKF Advisory will be led by Hebert and three additional managing directors –

• Christopher Hatten, Managing Director
• Noam Hirschberger, Managing Director, National Service Line Leader of Valuation Services
• Jonathan Moore, Managing Director, National Service Line Leader of Transaction Advisory Services
