Private Equity & Venture Capital Firms

At KraftCPAs, we’ve helped clients build, preserve, and transfer business value and personal wealth since 1958. We have the diverse range of technical acumen, industry knowledge, and extensive transaction experience required to help private equity groups and venture capital firms with developing strategic growth plans, evaluating various business opportunities, executing deals, and providing ongoing support after a transaction.

Let us help you get the deal done.

Experience

The KraftCPAs transaction advisory team has extensive experience with various transaction types, including leveraged buyouts, minority interest transactions, going-private transactions, mezzanine and senior financings, executive compensation matters, leveraged dividends and recapitalizations, and initial public offerings (IPOs).

Many of our executives are adroit negotiators — having developed this skill set through decades of experience working with private equity groups and venture capital firms, as well as attorneys, bankers, and investors, on both the buy-side and sell-side of transactions.

And with more than 200 team members at KraftCPAs and our affiliates, we are also available to provide manpower and expertise in tax, accounting, external, internal and IT audit, valuation, financial modeling, research, business planning, and investment banking.
