The mission:

The client was a high tech company on the IPO fast track. They knew that the more thoughtful their filing, the quicker they’d get approval to go to market—and the sooner they’d be flush with fresh capital. They also knew they needed serious expertise to pull it off, especially since they would be among the first to cope with new SEC requirements.

RoseRyan in action:

RoseRyan began with S-1 reporting, but the guru was soon advising on a broader level about compliance with new SEC reporting guidelines and FASB guidance; exploring pros and cons; and talking with the company’s attorneys, underwriters and auditors to draft necessary disclosures. Those included new disclosures on executive compensation and non-GAAP reporting compliance.

The RoseRyan team members not only responded quickly to questions as they arose, but also kept the client ahead of the game by drawing on their deep expertise in investor relations, SOX, SEC reporting and comment response, and technical accounting.

Mission accomplished:

The RoseRyan brain trust worked as a team to preemptively address finance issues, thus minimizing SEC comments, easing the audit process and ensuring a smooth-sailing IPO. The guru in charge kept an eye on the horizon, too, helping with additional equity-related projects and establishing best practices for future SEC compliance (such as 10-Q and 10-K reports) and the company’s earnings release.
