Sell-side Quality of Earnings Analysis
A sell-side Quality of Earnings (QoE) analysis is an essential tool for companies preparing for a sale, merger, or IPO. It provides a comprehensive financial analysis, ensuring your company's earnings are accurately represented by adjusting for non-GAAP, non-recurring, and discretionary items. This process helps identify potential risks and opportunities, ultimately increasing buyer confidence and enhancing your company’s value. While the cost of a QoE report can vary depending on the size and complexity of the company and the level of detail required, it is a valuable investment often yielding a positive return.
