Most owners do not realize how messy books can lower offers. A buyer sees sloppy numbers and immediately pulls back. A quality of earnings organizes and strengthens the story. I have worked with sellers that would have never been able to sell their company with out a QoE. This includes carveouts, Companies with several accounting systems, Companies that record revenue on a cash basis but need to show it on an accrual basis. A good QoE can increase the sale price. Reach out to me if you have any financial questions about a business you are selling. redacted
