Go cheap and don’t get a Quality of Earnings Report.

Or have a typical accountant do it.

Or do it yourself because you have an MBA or finance background.

Good luck with that route. The experts wouldn’t take the risk you’re taking, but if you want to take the risk of fraud and bankruptcy, go ahead.

Private Equity partners have MBAs and finance backgrounds but STILL get a Quality of Earnings report done.

When a large business buys a smaller one, the larger company doesn't just have the CFO run some numbers. They also do a Quality of Earnings report.

You do you. Take on more risk!

^redacted‌ - We doe QoE reports. We also have deal experience actually buying and selling businesses. Few accounting firms have been through it. Where are you in the acquisition journey?
