Introducing Finsider: from first look to financial diligenceLearn more

See your business the way a buyer will

A buyer's diligence team will go through your books line by line and ask for the support behind every add-back. Finsider connects to your books read-only and shows you what they'll see, while you still have time to fix it.

Where a sale gets stuck

A buyer usually runs its Quality of Earnings after the letter of intent is signed, so anything your books can't answer shows up after the price is on paper.

Add-backs without records

Personal and one-time expenses can raise adjusted EBITDA, but only when each one is backed by records a buyer will accept.

Several companies, several systems

If you run more than one entity on different accounting systems, someone has to combine them by hand before a buyer can read them.

Findings late in the deal

An issue the buyer finds first gives them leverage, so they can cut the price or walk away after months of work.

“The fact that we can see everything on a dashboard is a complete game changer.”
Stefan Katanic, CEO, Veza Digital

Sell on numbers you've already tested

Finsider was founded by Mitch Petracca, CPA, who spent 8 years in transaction advisory starting at PwC and has personally executed 150+ Quality of Earnings engagements.

Find it before the buyer does

Addback screens your own files for add-back candidates, customer concentration, working capital and data completeness, so you see what a buyer will question first.

Every entity in one view

Finsider consolidates multiple entities with intercompany eliminations and keeps every add-back tied to the transaction behind it while you prepare to sell.

A report you can hand the buyer

Start with free deal screening in Addback, connect in Workspace for $99 a month plus $999 per report, or have Advisory deliver a CPA-led sell-side QofE from $15,000.
