The Challenge

A leading interventional pain company, known for its innovative minimally invasive treatments for lumbar spinal stenosis, initially engaged CPAClub for expert guidance on a pre-IPO SOX implementation to strengthen financial controls and ensure compliance. 

As the company prepared for an IPO, an unexpected acquisition shifted its focus from IPO-readiness to post-acquisition integration, introducing new regulatory reporting requirements, complex acquisition accounting, and operational hurdles that required a rapid strategic pivot. 

The Solution

Midway through the company’s subscription pass, CPAClub quickly adapted to support its new post-acquisition priorities, ensuring a seamless transition. Our team: 

  • Provided acquisition accounting guidance, helping navigate post-merger financial reporting. 
  • Managed compliance tasks, including 1099 and Sunshine Act reporting. 
  • Streamlined month-end close processes, improving efficiency and accuracy. 
  • Shifted focus from IPO readiness to ensuring financial integration and stability. 

The Impact

CPAClub tackled the company’s regulatory and financial challenges, optimizing operations and reducing costs while delivering a premium member experience with lasting value.

  • Operational excellence – Enhanced month-end close processes and optimized financial reporting boosted accuracy and efficiency, reducing the burden of manual intervention. 
  • Cost efficiency – Our flexible model eliminated the need for additional contracts or proposals, delivering substantial cost savings while ensuring continuous, high-quality support.
