If they're coming to you offering to do this it is most likely a scam as others have said or something you could easily do yourself. First place I would check is with your state's unclaimed property (e.g. in california: https://www.sco.ca.gov/upd_msg.html https://www.sco.ca.gov/upd_msg.html ). It's highly doubtful they would have knowledge of an inactive account held at a company and that company should have been trying to contact you before turning the assets over to the state. Your idea of contacting the acquiring company's finance dept wouldn't hurt either.
