Welcome to our August 2025 Sell-Side Update!
In this August 2025 Sell-Side Update, Garrett Monroe, Sell-Side Director at Calder Capital, sits down with Ryan McCaslin, Partner at EHTC Transaction Advisory Services, to break down why a QofE is so critical for business sellers.
A Quality of Earnings report goes beyond standard financial statements. It provides buyers with a detailed, third-party verified look into your company’s financial health, adjusted EBITDA, and operational performance. For sellers, this preparation ensures stronger positioning, smoother negotiations, and ultimately, a higher valuation.
In this conversation, Garrett and Ryan discuss: 1. What a Quality of Earnings report is and how it differs from audited financials. 2. How a QofE impacts negotiations and builds buyer confidence. 3. Why conducting a QofE in advance puts sellers in the driver’s seat. 4. The biggest piece of advice for business owners who may not yet be familiar with the process.
Whether you’re in the early stages of exit planning or actively preparing to sell, this update explains how Calder Capital and partners like EHTC help sellers present proper financials that stand up to buyer scrutiny. By addressing potential issues early, you avoid surprises during due diligence and keep the deal on track.
