Accounting for holding companies
and investment structures.
Clean accounting for entities whose books may be small in volume — but important in structure.
Low transaction volume does not mean low relevance.
A holding company may only have a limited number of bookings each month. But those bookings can involve participations · acquisition financing · shareholder loans · dividends · management fees · intercompany transactions · capital contributions · distributions. The accounting needs to reflect the structure correctly and remain consistent with the underlying legal and tax documentation.
What we cover.
Ongoing Accounting
Accounting for recurring costs, financing, investments and other transactions at holding level.
Participation Accounting
Structured documentation of investments and related transactions.
Shareholder & Intercompany Accounts
Reconciliation and monitoring of relevant receivables, liabilities and financing relationships.
Annual Accounts
Year-end work based on reconciled accounts and documented transactions.
Tax Compliance
Ongoing corporate tax requirements coordinated with the accounting.
Transaction Support
Accounting support around acquisitions, disposals, refinancings and restructurings.
Especially relevant after an acquisition.
Searchers and investors often establish an acquisition vehicle before closing. After closing, the group may suddenly include HoldCo, AcquisitionCo, OperatingCo, seller loans, bank financing and shareholder financing. Those entities need to function together from both a legal and financial perspective. We help establish the corresponding accounting processes from the start.
Post-Acquisition
Transition, clean-up and reporting for the first months of new ownership.
Searchers
Finance setup for acquisition entrepreneurs moving from buyer to operator.
Legal, tax and accounting in one structure.
The accounting treatment is often only the final step in a transaction that began with legal documents and tax structuring. Because CLIQ works across these disciplines, the accounting team can understand the transaction behind the booking rather than seeing only the payment.
Set up the structure once. Keep the accounting clean afterwards.
