Diligence Matters
Are you actually doing diligence?
Traditional due diligence costs $50,000 to $100,000 and takes four to six weeks. Most firms can't justify it on every deal, so they skip it. They rely on management-prepared spreadsheets, or they rely on someone else's work, or worst case, they don't look at all. When the deal blows up, everyone says the same thing: the red flags were there, nobody looked.
We connect directly to accounting systems and bank accounts to deliver financial due diligence in 48 hours, at a fraction of what you'd pay Kroll or Deloitte.

Everyone knows what happens when you skip diligence.
The question is why everyone keeps doing it.
Our diligence wasn’t good enough
That's what 60% of executives say after a deal fails. Not "the market shifted." Not "integration was hard." It was the diligence that missed something, and the red flags were there.
You skipped it because Kroll wants $150K and two months you don't have. So, you look at the deck, review the spreadsheet management sent over, cross your fingers, and hope for the best. The whole industry does this, and everyone pretends it's fine.
We trusted the spreadsheet
Management sends you a spreadsheet and a couple of PDFs. You review it. You trust it. Revenue recognition issues, working capital anomalies, customer concentration risk, they're all hiding behind numbers and hard coded documents that someone else prepared for you.
And when it goes to shit, the post-mortem always says the same thing: the data was there, but nobody went to the source.
I want to close this week
IC is in three days. Your analyst is still tying out Q3 cash. A faster fund has already sent the other side a term sheet. This is how deals get lost, not because you didn't want to do diligence, but because the process takes longer than the deal timeline allows.
Good things come to those who wait. But why wait when you can use tooling to get it over the line, efficiently and effectively.
What if you could screen every deal in 48 hours?
We connect directly to accounting systems via API's - QuickBooks, Xero, Netsuite, Sage, and bank feeds through Plaid. Not just uploaded documents. Not just management prepared spreadsheets. But, always complemented by the actual general ledger, every transaction, every account.
From there, you get automated financial analysis: revenue flags, fraud detection, customer concentration, working capital anomalies. All traced back to source transactions, so you can drill down into anything that looks fishy. The output isn't a dashboard. It's working Excel models, three-statement financials, LBO models, QofE databooks, auto-populated with live data. The same deliverables you'd get from a Big 4 engagement, except ready in hours.
