More on how we protect your data

Questions, answered.

What exactly does the diagnostic include?

Four things: your valuation, benchmarked against real comparable sales in your industry; a quality-of-earnings-style analysis that matches your QuickBooks against your bank statements and tax returns; a buyer's lens showing the issues a buyer will use to negotiate your price down; and a priority fix roadmap of the changes most likely to move your number.

How is this different from a broker's or banker's valuation?

A broker's number reflects what it takes to win your listing. A banker's reflects what helps close a deal. The diagnostic is independent. Nobody here has a financial interest in what you decide to do next.

Do I get a specific number or a range?

A range: low, typical and high, based on real transactions in your industry, with a plain-English explanation of where you land and why. Any tool that gives you one precise number is overstating its certainty.

What's a quality of earnings analysis, and why does it matter?

It's what a buyer's accountants do in diligence: check whether your earnings are real, repeatable and defensible. A formal QoE from a CPA firm costs $30,000 to $75,000. The diagnostic runs the core of that work from your own data, so you see it before a buyer does.

What if I don't use QuickBooks Online?

You can upload a monthly P&L and balance sheet instead. QuickBooks Desktop, other accounting software or a well-organized spreadsheet all work.

How long does it take?

About 5 to 10 minutes to connect or upload. Results are typically ready within 24 to 48 hours, and we walk through them with you.

I'm not planning to sell anytime soon. Is this still useful?

It's the best time to run it. The issues buyers discount most, like owner dependence, customer concentration and books that don't reconcile, take 12 to 24 months to fix. Seeing them now gives you time.

Is there anything else I'll be pressured to buy?

No. The diagnostic stands on its own, and the report is yours. If you want help fixing what it finds, that's a separate conversation, only if you ask.

Know your number before a buyer does.
