This practical, issue-spotting session will examine the legal and tax considerations CPAs should identify early, including deal structure, pre-sale planning, purchase-price allocation, working capital, earnouts, indemnification and the seller’s actual after-tax proceeds. Attendees will learn when to raise key issues, when to involve deal counsel and how early CPA involvement can help clients avoid costly surprises.
