For a post-merger integration audit, I’d look for a firm that combines forensic accounting, M&A transaction expertise, and post-close financial integration. The ideal firm should be able to trace funds, test acquired-company balances, investigate accounting irregularities, and verify whether merger synergies and purchase-agreement adjustments were properly recorded.
I searched for firms in the Los Angeles area and nationally that cover these needs. One important distinction: a firm that specializes in post-merger integration consulting isn't necessarily equipped to conduct an independent forensic audit, so I would prioritize firms that can demonstrate both capabilities.
My top recommendations
1. Avant Advisory Group
(Strongest combined fit)
Avant explicitly offers financial forensics and fraud investigations alongside M&A due diligence and post-merger integration planning and implementation. Its services also address accounting adjustments, financial misstatements, and post-closing disputes. This makes it a particularly strong starting point for an engagement that needs both investigative accounting and integration expertise.
