I have just secured an QoE project, where Baker Tilly is representing the sell-side, conducting due diligence and providing advisory services. Do you have any experience working with them? Any feedback? @ElliottEHolland @BoilerPlateCPA @Chris_CayneQofE
I have been engaged in business consulting for over a decade. With each passing day, it becomes increasingly about assisting others in transforming their lives, rather than merely earning money.
There is much discussion regarding the effectiveness of brokers in M&A transactions. Nonetheless, it is generally advantageous to engage a broker rather than dealing directly with the Seller, as this contributes to a more professional M&A process.
Conducting a feasibility study before starting any project is crucial for several reasons. Here are some key points: 1. Assess Viability: It helps determine if the project idea is realistic and achievable before investing significant time and money 2. Identify Risks: Early…
First-time searchers should do their own high-level due diligences before signing LOI. A brief review of the financials can reveal significant issues. This step can save you considerable time and resources.
I am increasingly being approached with requests to promote the services of other vendors in exchange for a referral fee. Is it considered ethical to recommend other service providers to your client in exchange for a referral fee, given that it may create a conflict of interest?…
Which is preferable: a full-time corporate position or owning a SMB, assuming the compensation is equivalent and considering the respective advantages and disadvantages of a corporate career versus SMB development?
Always inquire with your QoE/Legal provider regarding any potential conflict of interest with the Seller.
As a self-funded searcher, try to avoid choosing the cheapest QoE. Instead, seek a service that offers a good balance between cost and quality.
Currently, I observe a trend where M&A service providers are acquiring complementary businesses to offer a comprehensive suite of M&A services within a single platform, including QoE/Accounting, Advisory, Fundraising Support, fractional CFO services, business plan writing, legal…
I've observed numerous instances where retired SMB owners successfully outmaneuver seasoned MBA professionals in negotiations. It appears that practical business and life experience hold greater value than expensive education and corporate experience.
I've encountered several instances where Buyers chose CPAs to perform a basic audit for a few thousand dollars instead of QoE report. 🤦♂️I find myself repeatedly emphasizing that there is a significant difference between a standard audit and QoE. An audit and a QoE report are…
While preparing QoE reports, we dedicate a considerable amount of time to compiling financial data in a format suitable for thorough analysis. The most challenging aspect is consolidating or combining the data when dealing with a group of companies. Many SMBs do not give this…
I am receiving increasing feedback from SMBs indicating that their current performance in 2004 appears worse compared to 2023. Do you agree with that or not?
I'm observing an increasing number of layoffs in corporate businesses. This trend could stimulate M&A activities in SMBs, as it presents a viable alternative for those affected.
It's astonishing how rapidly AI is being integrated into the accounting industry. It will undoubtedly be a market disruptor, particularly for technical tasks such as preparing tax returns, in the near future. Many accountants will have to embrace AI as a valuable tool or risk…
I'm curious about the number of seasonal businesses. These businesses generate sufficient cash flow in just a few months to cover all expenses for the entire year. I believe it is an absolutely another lifestyle for entrepreneurs compared to running a traditional SMB. Few…
Just realized that there hasn't been a single instance where all the add-backs per listing were confirmed by QoE. Typically, the add-backs identified in course of doing QoE differ from the initial ones by more than XX%. Remember, conducting a QoE can save you a significant amount…

Seems overkill on a deal if it's <$50 million. Why such a big firm? People tend to assume larger firms don't make mistakes.
@AlexSilensky @ElliottEHolland @BoilerPlateCPA For sure, seen them many times along with a number of other firms in that size range. All deal by deal, I don’t have any commentary that would sway how you leverage it one way or the other
@AlexSilensky @ElliottEHolland @BoilerPlateCPA Like any sell-side QofE, review and leverage it as best possible, but conduct your own diligence to validate and come to your own conclusions
@AlexSilensky @BoilerPlateCPA @Chris_CayneQofE So Baker Tilly (Top 10 firm) did a sellside QoE for the Seller & you're doing a QoE for the buyer? @AlexSilensky

I have been engaged in business consulting for over a decade. With each passing day, it becomes increasingly about assisting others in transforming their lives, rather than merely earning money.
@AlexSilensky @CoFoundersNik good luck finding a CPA willing to do this.
@AlexSilensky Make sense. BVR not real helpful with valuations comps on A.I. companies. If we get bids based on rev, my Seller would be quite happy with that, and so would I.
@AlexSilensky So in your mind you're thinking a double digit multiple based of revenue instead of EBITBA/SDE type multiple?
@AlexSilensky What if they have sales and profit, a nd the owner just wants to do something else? And What do you believe the valuation multiple should be for a VC round?
@AlexSilensky I think thats where I lean as well. Other than licensure & experience (the two biggest and most obvious reasons to me), is there a primary reason you would partner with a CPA?
Has anyone ever purchased a CPA or Accounting firm that was either: - Not a CPA, or - Not the day-to-day Operator I have a friend who is looking in this space but is neither of those things What was your experience? Any thoughts or advice?

Before you leave your $200K/yr corporate job to buy a $2M plumbing business that will hopefully cashflow $500K/yr, there's one big question you need to answer honestly: How do you feel about risk?
