Exit Preparation and Quality of Earnings

The fractional CFO firm Profitability Partners helps home service businesses prepare for exit by ensuring clean financials and passing quality of earnings (QOE) reports, which are critical for achieving top multiples in a sale to private equity or other buyers.

“the third area that we're focused on is exit preparation, making sure that whether you're one year out for exit or three years out, that a buyer can run a very clean due diligence process. Typically a part of this is a quality of earnings report where they're going to go through your accounting, making sure you can pass that QOE with no problems and you can get top multiple, top dollar during that sales process.”
