I will review the financials before you buy a business
Small Business Valuation and Financial Analysis
About this Gig
Buying a small business? Check the numbers before you make an offer.
Listings and seller financials are prepared to sell. My financial screen shows what looks consistent, what doesn't, what information is missing and what to ask the seller next.
Which package fits you?
- Basic: you found a listing and want a first read before contacting the seller
- Standard: you have the seller's P&L and tax returns (trends, P&L vs tax returns, add-backs tagged, red flags, request list)
- Premium: you are getting close to an offer (adds 12 months of bank deposits vs reported sales and an indicative value range)
Every package includes seller questions ready to send. Standard and Premium add an Excel file that traces each number to its source. Packages cover 1 business and up to 3 years. Need more? Ask for a custom offer.
Treasury background: bank statements and cash are my daily work.
Fully async, one written Q&A round, full sample report in the gallery.

FAQ
How is this different from full due diligence?
A screen is the step before. It shows whether the numbers hold together and what to ask before you sign a letter of intent or pay for a full due diligence or Quality of Earnings review, which is normally done by a CPA firm.
Will you tell me whether to buy?
No. I show what the data supports, what it does not and what remains open. The decision is yours, with your advisors.
What if the seller won't share tax returns or bank statements?
I work with what you have and state clearly what could not be checked.
Do you review contracts, leases or taxes?
No. Items with legal or tax implications are listed for your attorney or CPA.
Do we need a call?
No. Written messages keep a record you can share with your partners or lender.
Is my information confidential?
Yes. Files are stored encrypted, used only for your report and deleted 30 days after delivery. NDA on request.
