About DLC Direct
We started DLC Direct because the companies who need the most sophisticated accounting guidance often lack access to it — until now.
DLC Direct is a specialized technical accounting advisory practice serving emerging growth companies, private equity-backed businesses, and public companies. Our team brings deep expertise in US GAAP and SEC reporting requirements.
Whether you're preparing for your first audit, navigating a complex transaction, or building out your accounting function ahead of an IPO, we provide clear, practical guidance tailored to your situation — not a one-size-fits-all playbook.
We work as an extension of your team, not above it. That means direct access to senior advisors, fast turnaround, and honest answers — even when they're complicated.
Senior team members trained at the world's leading accounting firms, with industry specialization across technology, life sciences, and financial services.
Hands-on experience with registration statements, periodic reports, comment letter responses, and auditor coordination.
We work within your timelines — not ours. Expect direct access to senior advisors and turnaround measured in hours, not weeks.
We collaborate seamlessly with legal, IR, and your external auditors to keep every stakeholder aligned.
What We Do
From pre-IPO accounting assessments to ongoing technical guidance, our services are designed to meet companies at their most critical inflection points.
01
Full-cycle support for companies preparing to go public — from initial readiness assessments and S-1 accounting support to Regulation S-X compliance and audit coordination.
02
Assistance with periodic and current reports including 10-Ks, 10-Qs, 8-Ks, and proxy statements — plus SEC comment letter response strategy and drafting support.
03
On-demand guidance on complex US GAAP issues — revenue recognition, lease accounting, business combinations, equity compensation, and more.
04
Technical accounting advisory for M&A, SPAC transactions, divestitures, and restructurings — including purchase price allocation and carve-out financial statements.
05
Design and documentation of accounting policies, internal controls frameworks, and SOX compliance programs to support growing companies and public company readiness.
06
Fractional and project-based support for finance leaders — supplementing your team during periods of growth, transition, or increased reporting complexity.
How We Work
We spend 30–45 minutes learning about your situation, timeline, and goals — no pitch, just listening.
We provide a clear scope of work with transparent fee structures — fixed fee or retainer, your choice.
Senior advisors work directly in your systems and alongside your team, keeping everything moving.
Most clients stay with us well beyond the initial engagement — we become part of your extended team.
