Technical accounting means researching complex transactions under GAAP and documenting defensible positions. It's what auditors, buyers, and regulators expect when the numbers aren't straightforward.
Examples
- Revenue recognition for SaaS or long-term contracts
- Stock compensation and equity
- Crypto staking, DeFi, and digital assets
- Business combinations and purchase accounting
When you need it
- Complex transactions that don't fit standard categories
- First audit - auditors will question non-standard positions
- Crypto or digital asset operations
- Regulatory or bank requirements for documented positions
The deliverable is usually a position memo: clear, written support that survives scrutiny. That's what technical accounting provides.
