In conjunction with its robust product and service offerings for government and military organizations, Nusura team members are some of the most experienced and highly regarded emergency management professionals, having served in leadership positions in the military, the private sector, and in local, state, and federal agencies during some of the most challenging incidents in recent history, including the September 11th terrorist attacks.
“This is an exciting time for Nusura to join forces with Juvare. The partnership strengthens both companies’ ability to provide organizations with a clear understanding of how things work during real-world crises, emergencies, and military operations,” said Nusura CEO Emily Norcross. “Our experience in combination with Juvare’s industry-leading software solutions WebEOC®, EMResource®, eICS™ and the Juvare Exchange® platform will ensure readiness for armed forces, Homeland Security, and emergency management operations, which is mission-critical in today’s unpredictable environment.”

This acquisition not only grows Juvare’s product portfolio and market positioning, but also reinforces our commitment to help our partners stop trouble in its tracks with precise and connected technology solutions.

PCC Elections for Private Company Acquisitions: What PE Sponsors, Portfolio Company CFOs, and Their Advisors Need to Know Before Making the Call
Private Company Council (PCC) accounting elections offer PE-backed companies a meaningful opportunity to reduce the scope and cost of purchase price allocation work, but the decision carries long-term implications that extend well beyond the close. Under ASU 2014-02, private companies may amortize goodwill on a straight-line basis over up to 10 years, eliminating the burden of annual impairment testing. Under ASU 2014-18, customer-related intangibles and noncompetition agreements may be subsumed into goodwill rather than separately recognized and valued. Together, these elections can streamline acquisition accounting and lower ongoing audit and compliance costs, but they also introduce restatement risk if the portfolio company later pursues an IPO or is acquired by a public buyer. For PE sponsors, the decision should be evaluated in the context of the fund’s exit thesis and applied consistently across portfolio companies. […]
Revenue Looks Strong on Paper – But ASC 606 Compliance in Construction Tells a Different Story

In this case study, The McLean Group’s Financial Consulting and Transaction Due Diligence teams walk through a real construction services engagement where a project-level ASC 606 review surfaced a pattern of revenue recognition issues that materially changed the earnings picture. We examine the KPIs that matter most, including cost-to-complete accuracy, change order approval rates, and over and under billing trends, and explain why ASC 606 compliance deserves the same rigor in diligence as working capital analysis or debt-like items.

Purchase Price Allocations Under ASC 805: What Every PE-Backed CFO and Deal Team Needs to Know
A purchase price allocation (PPA) is the first post-close workstream that directly affects reported EBITDA, lender covenant calculations, and eventual exit valuation for PE-backed acquirers. Under ASC 805, every acquisition requires the buyer to allocate the total purchase price to identifiable assets and liabilities at fair value — including intangibles that never appeared on the target’s balance sheet. For middle-market deals, identified intangibles commonly represent 30–60% of total consideration, and each carries its own valuation methodology, useful life assumption, and amortization consequence. The McLean Group’s Valuation Advisory team breaks down what every CFO, controller, and deal team needs to know about getting the allocation right the first time. […]
