“I know I put you on a crazy timeline, and there were a lot of stop-starts. I seriously owe you one.”

The problem

On an earlier acquisition, the buyer hired an outside reviewer whose Quality of Earnings the lender wouldn't accept.

“We had some guy do the Quality of Earnings, and I couldn't submit it to the lender and get that deal done.”

What changed

On its next acquisition, the buyer used Forward Firm for the buy-side Quality of Earnings, run on Finsider, through a compressed timeline with plenty of stops and starts. The cash proof tied cleanly, and this time the lender got a Quality of Earnings it could underwrite.

Results

$1.5M came off the purchase price after diligence.
