Exit readiness

Finbryn's exit readiness runs a buyer's due diligence checklist on your own QuickBooks Online, Xero or NetSuite books, months before you go to market, so normalized EBITDA, owner add-backs, working capital trends and customer concentration are already explained and documented when a buyer's team asks, instead of becoming a price-chipping negotiation mid-deal.

What is included

  • A pre-diligence review against a standard buyer request list
  • Normalized EBITDA or Seller's Discretionary Earnings schedule with documented add-backs
  • A trailing net working capital baseline and trend
  • A customer and supplier concentration review
  • A related-party transaction schedule with market-rate flags
  • A revenue and expense recognition consistency check across prior years
  • A prioritized, ranked list of fixes by buyer impact
  • Schedules formatted for a virtual data room

The process

  1. 1.

    Financial intake

    We pull two to three years of financials, the current chart of accounts, and any existing add-back or management-adjusted EBITDA figures the business already tracks.

  2. 2.

    Diligence checklist walkthrough

    We run the books against a standard buyer request list, flagging owner compensation, one-time items, related-party transactions and concentration risk line by line.

  3. 3.

    Add-back and working capital schedule

    Every add-back is documented against its underlying transaction, and a trailing net working capital baseline is built for the period a closing peg would likely reference.

  4. 4.

    Prioritized fix list

    Findings are ranked by how much each one is likely to move a buyer's number, separating must-fix items from ones worth disclosing but not chasing.

  5. 5.

    Owner review and timeline

    We walk the list with you and agree which items get addressed now, which get disclosed proactively at listing, and which are left as-is given the runway available.

Pricing

Exit readiness is scoped and priced as its own project, not bundled into a monthly bookkeeping tier, since the work depends on how many years of history and add-back items are involved. See the pricing page for how project work is scoped, and expect a written quote before anything starts.
