What is Searchfunder.com?

Searchfunder.com is an online community of searchers, investors, lenders, brokers and other professionals. Over 80% of those involved in searchfunds maintain a Searchfunder account to help them network, hire, and mentor others.

What are the benefits of membership?

In addition to accessing the most active online network of business buyers, Searchfunder licenses research that is simply not cost effective for individuals. Access over 15,000 industry reports and 50,000 transaction financials. You also get monthly credits for contact information for your company sourcing campaign with the option to purchase more at drastically discounted rates. Searchfunder has pre-purchased access from these data providers in order to empower individual buyers and to help searchers level the playing field versus private equity.

Do you have deals?

While we are primarily a buy-side network, we do have hundreds of brokers that regularly post deals to the community.

Can I find an internship on Searchfunder?

Absolutely! We have the industry's largest intern job board. If you are considering a search, the first step is to help another business buyer so you can hit the ground running.

What does it cost?

Searchfunder is a subscription service. We offer flexible monthly, annual and lifetime memberships.

Annual

Do I need an MBA to join?

While a large number of our members come from dedicated programs at Harvard Business School, Stanford GSB, Chicago Booth, and other top programs, searching is no longer reserved for the elite. With the current abundance of dry powder in private equity, and an increasing number of business owners reaching retirement age, good deals rarely go unfunded.

Looking for some guidance on accounting, ERP, and other systems for commercial roofing

I just purchased a commercial roofing company, and we are currently using an ERP system called Timesuite that also has an accounting piece called Toolbox. It's functional, but for growth, we really need something more robust. We are narrowed to Sage and Foundation, and we've talked to several who use both. What I am trying to determine is more of the optimal full tech stack for a commercial roofing company: Accounting, ERP, CRM, other systems that work to create a well rounded system upon which to build. If any of you would be willing to share your tech stack and why you like it, or why you don't, I would appreciate it.

Hi @redacted‌ At Centurica, we provide outsourced bookkeeping support, including AR/AP management and fractional CFO services tailored to each company’s needs. Our team comes from Big 4 backgrounds, so we tend to focus heavily on building scalable reporting and operational visibility early on. On the accounting side, we typically recommend Xero. Since it was built as a cloud-native platform from the ground up, we generally find the user experience cleaner and more efficient than many legacy systems. That said, we’re fully comfortable working across other platforms, including QuickBooks. Feel free to reach out at redacted or redacted
