Case Study: Strategic Accounting Support from Acquisition to Sale
Kirsch CPA Group
Sep 20, 2022

Download our case study to learn how Kirsch CPA Group supported a Cincinnati entrepreneur from a business acquisition through a successful sale – and everything in-between.
The owner and CEO of Cincinnati-based design consultancy Kaleidoscope Innovation, Matt Kornau, began his relationship with Kirsch Group CPA as an aspiring entrepreneur who just needed help with his taxes.
But when he decided to become a business owner in 1995, the relationship grew along with his ambitions, as he turned to Kirsch for accounting services and financial advisory support. From tax planning and preparation to acquisition support to the eventual sale of the business, Kirsch provided the forward-looking financial and accounting services the business needed at every stage.
A Kaleidoscope of Services
Kaleidoscope Innovation is a full-service product development firm for medical, consumer and industrial markets. When Kornau purchased the company, he recognized the immense opportunity for growth and developed ambitious plans for its future.
Over the years, Kirsch CPA Group was there, providing financial strategy, accounting services, tax planning, identifying windows of opportunity, and offering advisory services to Kornau and his team. Throughout periods of growth and innovation, Kirsch worked alongside Kaleidoscope – culminating in its sale to a multinational tech company with over $12 billion in annual revenues.
“There is nothing more satisfying,” said founding partner John Kirsch of helping to drive a client’s business success from start to finish. Over the past 25+ years, Kirsch assisted Kaleidoscope with:
- Tax planning, preparation and filing
- Development of monthly close processes
- Business advisory
- Hiring and strategic growth planning
- Business valuation
- Exit and retirement planning
- Successful sale of the business
