A quality of earnings (QofE) study tests whether a target's reported earnings reflect real, sustainable performance. Acclarity's QofE work normalizes EBITDA, flags one-time and non-recurring items, and gives buyers and sellers a defensible earnings picture before the deal closes. It's the number that matters most in any transaction, and we make sure it's the right one.

Financial due diligence is a structured review of a company's financial performance and position conducted before a transaction. It validates earnings quality, working capital, debt levels, and key financial risks so that buyers and sellers can negotiate with confidence.
A quality of earnings (QofE) study is a core component of financial due diligence, focused specifically on the sustainability and accuracy of reported earnings. Full financial due diligence goes further to cover working capital, debt, forecasts, and other deal-critical areas beyond earnings quality alone.
Financial due diligence consulting typically includes a quality of earnings analysis, working capital and net debt review, revenue and margin quality assessment, and identification of material financial risks, all within a clear, documented report that supports the transaction and holds up in negotiation.
Yes, we support acquirers with buy-side diligence and sellers with sell-side (vendor) due diligence to help sellers prepare a clean, defensible financial story well ahead of a sale.
Timelines depend on deal size and data quality, but most engagements are scoped to fit the transaction timeline (often a few weeks). We move at the pace your deal requires.
