Life Sciences

The life sciences industry teems with excitement and possibility. The stakes are high and uncertainty is a constant; that’s why clients count on Friedman’s Life Sciences Service Group to provide structure, accuracy, and assurance through premier accounting, audit and tax work.

Life science companies pay a high price for success: costly R&D cycles, complex clinical trials, lengthy government agency reviews, risky product launches and challenging financing and capital raises, just to name a few. Friedman knows what it takes to get you to the next level. We have participated in numerous initial public offerings, reverse merger/alternative public offerings, Reg. A+ offerings, as well as mergers and acquisitions.

Friedman enables life sciences companies and their bio-entrepreneurs in all stages of their lifecycles to do what they do best: innovate and work creatively. As that occurs, you can be assured that the complex and nuanced accounting, reporting and tax compliance issues associated with capital, financing, licensing and other collaborative arrangements are effectively managed.
