Financial Services Built for Business Owners Preparing to Sell

Catch-Up Project

Before we can build a diligence-ready financial package, your books need to be current. We reconcile bank and credit card accounts, categorize transactions, clean up the chart of accounts, and close out each month — so your financials reflect what actually happened in the business.

• All months reconciled and closed through current period
• Chart of accounts cleaned and standardized
• Transactions categorized with consistent, deal-appropriate coding
• QBO conversion included if migrating from desktop or another platform

Due Diligence Prep

This is the package that gets your financials buyer-ready. We normalize three years of P&L data, build an EBITDA bridge with defensible add-backs, and prepare you for the questions buyers and their advisors will ask during diligence. Built by a team that's been on the other side of 100+ deals.

• 3-Year Normalized P&L — revenue and expenses restated on a consistent, accrual basis
• EBITDA Bridge & Add-Back Schedule — every adjustment documented and defensible
• Pre-QoE Summary — a financial overview that sets the stage for the buyer's Quality of Earnings analysis
• Management Q&A Prep Doc — anticipated buyer questions with recommended responses
• Proof of Cash — deposits and withdrawals reconciled to reported revenue and expenses
• Light Revenue Analysis — high-level review of revenue trends, mix, and collections patterns
• Preliminary Net Working Capital (NWC) Analysis — baseline NWC estimate to prepare for purchase agreement negotiations
• Revenue Reconciliation — reconciling reported revenue from the trial balance to your source systems
• Payroll Reconciliation — verifying payroll expenses against payroll reports and tax filings
• Tax Return Reconciliation — tying financial statements back to filed tax returns to identify and explain variances

Books Cleanup

Sometimes the DDP process reveals categorization errors, missing entries, or inconsistencies that would raise red flags in diligence. If that happens, we fix them — reclassifying transactions, correcting journal entries, and tightening up the financials so they hold up under buyer scrutiny.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Once your financials are clean and your DDP is complete, monthly bookkeeping keeps them that way. We maintain accrual-basis books on QuickBooks Online with reporting tailored to your business — so when a buyer asks for a trailing twelve-month P&L, you hand it over without hesitation.

• Monthly bank & credit card reconciliation
• Transaction categorization aligned to your normalized chart of accounts
• Revenue recognition aligned to your billing and operating systems
• Light accounts receivable & accounts payable management
• Location-level and department-level reporting where applicable
• Monthly financial package delivered by the 15th

Ongoing Deal Support

After the DDP is delivered and you're in market, buyers and their advisors will have follow-up questions — updated financials, clarification on add-backs, requests for supporting schedules. If you're on our monthly bookkeeping, this support is already included. If not, this retainer keeps us on as your financial point of contact so you don't have to navigate diligence alone.

• Financial Point of Contact During Diligence — we field buyer/advisor questions so you can focus on running your business
• Responding to buyer and advisor diligence requests
• Updating financial schedules as new months close
• Joining broker and M&A advisor calls when financial questions arise
• Preparing supplemental analyses as needed (revenue mix breakdowns, operational performance summaries)
