Quality of Earnings

We've advised on 100+ Deals and counting. We understand the nuances of small business acquisitions and how to help protect you from financial risks in your deal.

See our process below:

Verify the Books

Financial analysis is meaningless without high quality data.

We use a comprehensive set of verification procedures to tie out the books including a proof of cash, tax return analysis, and addback verification.

Gain critical insights into your deal

There's more to the financials than just the final EBITDA figure. Get insights into the nuances of customers, trends in profitability and growth, and working capital requirements.

Simple, Transparent Pricing

No hourly billing. No surprise fees. We quote a fixed fee for our engagements. If your deal breaks mid QoE, only pay what for what we've completed.

Quality of Earnings
is Peace of Mind

Our Quality of Earnings report is tailored for small business buyers to create clarity and peace of mind around what you are actually acquiring.

Verified Cash Flow

We do a forensic analysis of cash flow to prove that the business actually generates the cash flow the CIM reports.

Earnings Analysis

It's not enough to just look at the tax returns to understand profits.

We conduct a thorough analysis of earnings trends including revenue segmentation, seasonality trends, and adjustments for normalizing items that give you a true picture of go forward EBITDA.

Net Working Capital

Net Working Capital negotiations are an extremely common deal killer.

Our net working capital analysis helps you understand how much working capital should be transferred to you with the business, as well as project how much cash you should inject at closing.
