M&A Advisor Tip: Organize Your Financials

Buyers that pay top dollar usually expect to see clear, well-organized financial statements prepared according to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and reviewed by a reputable CPA firm. If your business has more than $10 million in revenue, you should probably start investing in annual financial statement reviews at least three years prior to selling. Or, have a transaction-oriented CPA firm complete a “quality of earnings” report prior to going to market.
