Riveron assisted company in adopting US GAAP on a consolidated basis with recent acquisitions
Over the course of 18 months, Rubicon Oilfield International, a global privately held oilfield services company, acquired five businesses. These global businesses were reporting under IFRS, Canadian GAAP and other local statutory methods. Riveron’s advisory services included the uniform adoption of US GAAP by implementing a documentation tool to identify and quantify each IFRS (or other local GAAP) difference to US GAAP. Riveron fully documented the adoption of US GAAP by the legacy and consolidated companies and provided the documentation tool and Rubicon’s technical accounting memo to the external auditors.
Riveron prepares company for valuation of four acquired businesses
Riveron was engaged to assist a private equity investment firm, roughly $1.8 billion AUM, with the rollup strategy for four newly acquired air and heat businesses.

Additional consulting services included valuation data assistance, application of the business combinations guidance and advising on opening balance sheet entries within the client’s ERP platform.
