Independent financial due diligence to assess earnings quality, liabilities, and valuation risks. No assumptions. Just clarity before you close.
Make sure you’re not buying surprises
This is your only window to validate the numbers, test assumptions, and uncover hidden risks before you’re legally bound. We step in to analyse the true financial picture: normalised earnings, working capital, net debt, and the equity bridge. Our work gives you leverage to renegotiate if needed, confidence to proceed if everything checks out, and peace of mind that you’re not buying surprises.
We start by understanding your goals, deal structure, and what you need to validate before closing.
We review the data room, seller financials, and key business metrics. If it’s not there, we tell you exactly what to ask for.
We dive into the numbers, among others, revenue, margin, CAC/LTV, retention, working capital, and cash flow, to verify what’s real and what’s not.
We deliver a clear report what we call a Red Flag Report which lists risks, inconsistencies, and questions to clarify with the seller so you go into negotiations informed and in control.
We help you assess final terms, evaluate responses, and make sure any issues raised in diligence are reflected in the deal structure.
We don’t just confirm seller-provided numbers, we verify and challenge them. Our focus is strictly on Financial Due Diligence. We don’t pretend to cover tech, IP, or legal. What we do is go deep on the financials: revenue quality, net debt, working capital, liabilities, equity bridge, and earnings normalization.
Unlike many marketplaces that offer low-cost “due diligence” services based on surface checks or outsourced teams, we deliver real FDD, performed by experienced Chartered Accountants from Australia and the Netherlands.

Most sellers present a clean story, but numbers can mislead. We dig deeper. Are there hidden costs? One-off revenues? Deferred liabilities? What’s truly working capital, and what’s not? Is net debt correctly defined? We build a clear equity bridge and uncover earnings quality issues that can swing your valuation significantly. Most buyers overlook these details until it’s too late. We make sure you don’t.
