    M&A and Transaction Support

    For Buyers

    We help buyers review financials, identify red flags, and think through price and structure. Our analysis gives you the clarity to make smart decisions and negotiate from a position of knowledge.

    For Sellers

    We help sellers clean up their books, make earnings clear, and get "deal ready." A well-prepared seller commands a better price and faces fewer surprises during due diligence.

    Ongoing Business Advisory

    Beyond transactions, we also provide ongoing advisory for existing businesses. This includes regular check-ins on profitability and cash flow, budgeting and forecasting, guidance on owner pay and distributions, and strategic conversations around growth and risk.

    Think of it as having a financial partner who understands your business and helps you make better decisions, without hiring a full-time CFO.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Common questions about our advisory services

    QDo I need to be a tax or bookkeeping client to use your advisory services?

    No. We work with business owners on advisory engagements whether or not we handle their ongoing tax or bookkeeping. That said, many clients do choose to consolidate services with us after an advisory project.

    QDo you work on both buy-side and sell-side transactions?

    Yes. We help buyers evaluate opportunities and structure deals, and we help sellers get their financials clean and positioned for a strong exit. We can only represent one side in any given transaction.

    QDo you take a success fee or work on fixed fees only?

    We typically work on fixed-fee or hourly engagements, not success fees. This keeps our advice objective and focused on what's best for you, not on closing a deal at any cost.

    QCan you coordinate with my attorney, lender, or broker?

    Absolutely. We regularly work alongside deal attorneys, lenders, and brokers. We handle the financial and tax side while they handle their areas of expertise.
