Quality Earnings Review | Financial Trend Analysis | Indianapolis CPA

Get the Full Financial Picture

Are you looking to acquire a new business but wondering if the numbers tell the whole story? Or are you preparing to go to market and need a buyer to see your business’s full potential?

Let us help you uncover the real financial picture with a quality of earnings (QoE) analysis.

A QoE analysis goes beyond the surface, diving deep into financial and operational data to assess earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA). It helps identify outliers or revenue anomalies, such as non-recurring revenues or inconsistently reported figures, that can obscure the business’s true profitability.

A QoE analysis boosts buyer and seller confidence in the transaction by providing an accurate financial picture, including normalized cash flows and working capital.

Historically, buyers primarily conducted QoE analyses as part of their due diligence (buy-side QoE). However, sellers increasingly commission these reports upfront (sell-side QoE) to streamline the transaction process. This proactive approach ensures that when a company goes to market, its financials are already vetted, saving time and avoiding potential deal-killing surprises.

Time kills deals

When a deal is on the horizon, speed matters. By conducting a QoE analysis early, you can accelerate the transaction and ensure that all parties understand the true bottom line of a business’s financial performance.
