Financial due diligence support, before and after the request list arrives
An investor or buyer asks for monthly financials, revenue by customer and reconciliations. Your accounting is current, but nothing is packaged the way they want, or they've already found problems.
When an investor or buyer asks for detailed financials
Diligence moves quickly from headline statements to detailed schedules. Numbers that don't tie between reports slow the process down and weaken your negotiating position.
- A diligence list you can't fill from current reports
- Schedules that don't tie back to the accounts
- Metrics investors can't reproduce from source data
- Problems found in the books mid-process
How due diligence readiness works
The aim is a finance data room where every number reconciles and can be reproduced.
- 1
Review before you upload
Check the books, reconciliations and key balances before anything goes into the data room.
- 2
Build the schedules
Monthly financials, revenue by customer, receivables, debt and payroll, all tying back to the accounts.
- 3
Document the metrics
Show the source data and calculations behind every KPI so it can be verified.
- 4
Fix what was found
If issues have already surfaced, clean up the affected periods and explain the corrections.

Finance for IT services & agenciesFrequently asked questions
What should the finance section of a data room contain?
Monthly financial statements, bank reconciliations, revenue detail, receivables and payables ageing, debt, payroll summaries and tax filings, all reconciled to each other.
Is it normal for buyers to ask for more and more detail?
Yes. Diligence usually starts with statements and moves to detailed schedules. Having them ready and reconciled keeps things moving.
What is the difference between preparing for a QoE and performing one?
A Quality of Earnings review is done independently for the investor or buyer. Preparing for it means making sure your books and schedules will stand up to that review.
How do I prepare an ARR by customer schedule?
Build it from the billing system with contract start, renewal and churn dates, and document the logic so it can be reproduced.
What data should sit behind retention cohorts and CAC payback?
Customer-level billing data and the sales and marketing costs used, with clear definitions, so the investor can recalculate them.
How should an MSP reconcile ConnectWise and the accounting system for a lender?
Match recurring revenue and receivables line by line and document the differences, such as timing and unposted invoices.
What should an accounting cleanup after due diligence include?
Correcting the affected periods, reconciling all balances, restating key reports and documenting what changed and why.
