The data book, built from the source.
Turn the target's accounting and bank data into a financial data book your team can check, down to the journal entry. Less time assembling the numbers. More time on the deal.
Source-connected data. Excel workbooks. Your team's judgment.
Building the data book is not the diligence.

- 03Build the workbook.
- RepeatThen do it again.
Collect the exports. Map the accounts. Build the workbook. Then do it again when new numbers arrive. Too much of the engagement goes into preparing the data before your team can ask the questions that matter.
Verified Metrics brings the source data into the workflow, so your team can spend more time on earnings, working capital and cash, and less time rebuilding the inputs.
From the target's books to your team's workbook.

Drill into a revenue line in the P&L or a cash balance on the balance sheet, and inspect the entries behind it.

Questions
- Which systems does it connect to?
- QuickBooks, Xero and NetSuite for accounting, plus bank data through Plaid. Your team reviews the data book in Excel.
- Can we trace every figure back to its source?
- Yes. Double-click a value in the data book to inspect the journal entries behind it. Bank transactions sit next to the accounting records, so your team checks the source, not a screenshot.
- How is this different from a legacy data room?
- A legacy data room stores uploaded documents and reports who read them. Verified Data Room connects to the target's accounting and bank data, so each figure is current and traces to its journal entry.
