Client background

This fast-growing technology company, with approximately $20 million in revenue and a team of 75 employees, recently secured $100 million in funding. With this influx of capital came new expectations from investors, including a comprehensive financial audit conducted by a Big Four audit firm.

The challenge

Facing an aggressive deadline for its first-ever financial audit, the company needed to overhaul its accounting processes to meet Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) standards. Complex financial transactions required meticulous analysis, and new accounting standards had to be implemented. However, the company’s internal accounting team was already operating at full capacity, lacking the bandwidth to handle the substantial workload of preparing for an audit.

The solution

To tackle these challenges, the company engaged ZRG Interim Solutions. Our experts provided the audit preparation and technical accounting support necessary to achieve compliance with GAAP and meet investor expectations. By embedding our team with the company’s internal accounting function, we offered hands-on support and guidance to identify and address the critical gaps in their financial processes.
