IPO readiness

Getting ready for an IPO is complex – but it doesn’t have to be complicated


Prepare to go from being privately owned to publicly traded with help from specialists familiar with the complexities.

As successful organizations grow and mature, defining moments emerge. Going public can help raise capital, attract investors, and position companies to reach for long-term goals.

An IPO is also a transformative process, not without risks. Going public requires the right steps in planning, preparation, and execution. From regulatory compliance to investor relations, we can help you navigate every step of your IPO journey.

Whether you’re planning for a traditional IPO or working through a SPAC process, timing is crucial.

And speed is crucial, especially when you’re working through a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) transaction, but that doesn’t mean you can sacrifice thoroughness.

Using a combination of technical accounting and technology expertise, industry knowledge, and IPO experience, we can help you in your journey to go public.

We can help you map out a customized plan and timeline that walk through all the details.

Our IPO readiness assessment maps a specific plan for your business


Our customized IPO readiness assessment quickly evaluates your business’s current IPO readiness, using proven solutions to evaluate your financial accounting policies, procedures, and processes.

An evaluation informs our IPO readiness assessment, which determines the maturity of your business. This culminates in a project plan that identifies the specific steps required to get you ready for going public.

We also offer a complete suite of technical accounting assistance, including:

Review of current requirements

From lease accounting to revenue recognition and everything in between, we can help you navigate the requirements specific to your business.

Development of white papers and memos

When you are transitioning from American Institute of CPAs to Public Company Accounting Oversight Board audit standards, Crowe can assist with maturing your documentation and meeting audit requirements.

Identification of disclosure and reporting requirements

We can help you manage all your disclosures and reporting requirements, including SOX; corporate governance; forms 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K; and registration statements.

Preparation of financial statements for SEC readiness

Using your current records, we can help streamline your process and get your financial statements ready for the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
