What you actually make on each customer, job or product line. The discipline large companies run pricing on, applied to a business that has never had it. Usually where the first real number comes from.

Every recurring line examined and the significant ones re-bid: merchant fees, insurance, freight, software, professional services. Contracts that renewed themselves for years rarely survive it.

A monthly close, books organized properly, and controls that catch mistakes early — so the numbers hold up the first time someone asks.

Rolling forecasts, scenario models and board-ready reporting, built around the numbers that actually run the business.

Collections, payment terms and inventory tightened, so cash stops being a monthly guess.

Debt or equity raises: investor materials, process management, and the document set assembled before anyone asks.

Scenario and valuation models built to hold up under a buyer’s or lender’s questions.

Buy side or sell side: diligence answered, the quality-of-earnings review a buyer’s accountants will run, and the finance side carried through close.

A buy-side or sell-side quality-of-earnings review that normalizes what the business actually earns, plus the EBITDA optimization and clean-up work that raises the multiple a buyer is willing to pay before you’re ever in a room with one.

Entity structure and compliance coordinated with your CPA, so tax is a known number rather than a surprise.
