How it works
Intake: you send the tax returns, we scope the engagement and send our data request within 24 hours. Reconstruction: we rebuild the financials from primary sources, not broker materials. Analysis and testing: multi-year, month-level pattern detection with targeted transaction sampling on flagged areas. Delivery: risk-framed findings in buyer-ready format, in 10 to 14 business days.
Frequently asked questions
Is this an audit?
No. We provide financial due diligence analysis, not an audit opinion. We work with provided data and identify where the numbers don't tell a consistent story.
Do you work with brokers directly?
Yes. Brokers introduce us to buyers. Our reports are designed to move deals forward, we surface issues early so they can be addressed before closing.
What industries do you cover?
We're industry-agnostic for service businesses, home services, professional services, staffing, marine, restaurants, IT services, and more.
What happens after DD is done?
We can continue as your fractional CFO or controller post-close. Most first-time buyers need help building a finance function from Day One. That's what our Advisory practice does.
Do you provide legal or tax advice?
No. Financial analysis only. We flag issues that warrant attention from your transaction attorney or tax advisor.
