Acquisition Financial Review

Understand the financial business you're actually buying.

Ravenmark helps prospective buyers look beyond the asking price and evaluate earnings, cash flow, working capital, seller adjustments and financial risks before making a major commitment.

A practical buy-side financial review

Designed for privately held business acquisitions where the buyer needs experienced financial analysis without commissioning a full audit or formal quality-of-earnings engagement.

Typical areas reviewed

Historical P&L and balance-sheet trends
Current year-to-date performance
Cash flow and working-capital requirements
AR/AP aging
Debt and significant obligations
Owner compensation and seller add-backs
Revenue, gross margin and customer concentration
Inventory and material balance-sheet accounts
Nonrecurring or unusual expenses
Financial questions requiring further diligence

What you receive

An executive review summarizing key trends, normalized earnings considerations, cash-flow observations, working-capital needs, identified financial risks and unresolved diligence questions, followed by a buyer discussion meeting.

Ravenmark provides financial consulting and management due diligence. This service is not an audit, review, compilation, attestation, appraisal, business valuation, tax opinion, legal due diligence, fraud examination or assurance engagement. Specialized CPA, legal, tax and valuation professionals should be engaged when appropriate.

A practical entry point—not an audit.

The Financial Health Review is a management-consulting engagement. It is not an audit, review, attestation engagement, forensic examination, tax opinion or legal opinion, and does not provide assurance regarding the accuracy or completeness of financial information.
