Mastering Deferred and Earn‑Out Consideration: What Every Accountant Needs to Know

Speakers: Aly Young - AY Business Law, Lungi Sepotokele - OmniPro

Deferred and earn out structures are now standard in SME sales — but they’re also the source of the most disputes, tax surprises, and post completion headaches. This practical session gives accountants the legal insight needed to protect clients, spot risks early, and guide negotiations with confidence.

Join us to learn:

• How to structure deferred and earn out mechanisms safely
• The legal traps that create disputes (and how to avoid them)
• What buyers and sellers think they’ve agreed… versus what the contract actually says
• How to work with lawyers to secure clarity, certainty, and enforceability

This session will be of most interest to accountants advising on business sales, succession planning, or valuation linked deals.
