M&A & Exit Planning

Whether you're planning your exit, preparing to sell, or acquiring a business — we provide the financial expertise to navigate transactions with confidence.

For Business Owners Planning to Exit

Ready to Sell, But Not Sure Where to Start?

You've spent years — maybe decades — building your business. Now you're thinking about what's next. These concerns sound familiar to most owners we work with.

Years of 'Good Enough' Books

Your accounting was fine for running the business, but buyers will dig deeper. Inconsistencies and informal practices become deal killers.

No Idea What It's Actually Worth

You've heard numbers thrown around, but without proper analysis, you're negotiating blind — and likely leaving money on the table.

Overwhelmed by the Process

NDAs, data rooms, due diligence requests — the transaction process is a full-time job on top of running your business.

Worried About Getting Taken Advantage Of

You've built this business over decades. The last thing you want is a sophisticated buyer exploiting gaps in your preparation.

The good news? Most of these issues are fixable with the right preparation and time. That's exactly what we help you do.

Your Path to a Successful Exit

The best exits are planned 1-3 years in advance. We help you get your financial house in order, understand your true value, and position your business to attract the right buyers at the right price.

For Buyers

Buy-Side Due Diligence & Optimization

Acquiring a business is a major investment. We help you understand exactly what you're buying — and identify opportunities to create value post-close.

Due Diligence

Financial Due Diligence

We dig into the target's financials to verify what you're actually buying — revenue quality, expense normalization, and hidden liabilities.

Quality of Earnings

Understand the sustainability of earnings by identifying one-time items, owner adjustments, and accounting irregularities.

Working Capital Analysis

Determine appropriate working capital targets and peg to avoid post-close disputes over cash left in the business.

Risk Identification

Surface financial, operational, and customer concentration risks before you're committed to the deal.

Value Creation & Optimization

Synergy Identification

We analyze where you can combine operations, reduce overhead, and create value by bringing two businesses together.

Margin Improvement Opportunities

Identify pricing power, cost reduction levers, and operational improvements the seller may have missed.

Integration Planning

Develop a financial integration roadmap — systems consolidation, chart of accounts alignment, and reporting structure.

Post-Close Support

We stay engaged after close to help you realize the value you identified during diligence.
