by a searcher in Toronto, ON, Canada

Hello everyone,I'm a self-funded searcher based in Ontario, Canada, and I'm currently seeking recommendations for a Quality of Earnings (QofE) provider and an accounting firm. I am targeting businesses with EBITDA in the $750k - $3M range. I'm looking for a provider that offers the following services:* Quality of Earnings (QofE): A comprehensive QofE report for buy-side due diligence.* Tax Structure & Planning: Expertise in advising on optimal tax structures for a business acquisition in Canada, including post-purchase tax planning.* Post-Purchase Accounting: Ongoing accounting and bookkeeping services for the acquired business. I'm specifically interested in firms or individuals who have experience working with self-funded searchers and are reasonably priced for deals of this size. I would greatly appreciate any recommendations based on personal positive experiences. Please share the firm or individual's name, and if possible, a brief note on what made your experience a good one. Thank you in advance for your help!

This exact type of question on building your deal team is exactly what we're building at www.versquare.com. We're just getting started but have some great options listed, and would love any feedback on what other data/insights would be most helpful in picking your team. Will work to build out our Canada coverage as well!
