You can’t sell a company on numbers you don’t trust yourself.
Most owners aren’t waiting for the right market. They’re waiting for numbers they’d be willing to show. In 14 days, we show you your company the way a buyer will, in dollars, guaranteed: at least 3x the fee in owner-accepted value identified, or you pay nothing.

The numbers moved because the numbers changed.
Three companies, three sectors, one method. Anonymized by segment and revenue band until attribution is confirmed.
Mispriced inputs, phantom discounts, and revenue never brought over. Pricing was anchored to costs that had moved years earlier, and the aggregate P&L hid which products carried the business.
Cash was trapped in a billing and close cadence nobody had revisited, and clean reports masked the leak. We rebuilt the rhythm, pulled the working capital forward, and put margin on a weekly line of sight.
The biggest account felt untouchable, so the math never got run. Full cost allocation showed it was funded by everyone else. We repriced and reset terms, and margin followed inside the quarter.
Your books tell you what happened. They can’t tell you what to do next.
Your accounting was built to answer one question: what happened. It closes the month, files the taxes, satisfies the bank. It was never built to answer the question a sale forces: what is this actually worth, and can I prove it?
Here’s the part nobody says out loud. Everyone who touches your numbers is paid to serve something other than you. The tax preparer optimizes the return. The bookkeeper, often a junior person carrying a senior title, produces a P&L and closes the month. Not one of them is paid to make your company worth believing.
The decisions weren’t wrong. You made them on the only numbers you had, and those numbers were never built to decide from. The mess isn’t negligence. Growth covered it, and the people producing the numbers were never paid to look. But a buyer will look. Buyers pay a multiple times earnings, and they only pay for a trend they can believe.
A sale price is a multiple times earnings. We work both numbers.
Three steps, one rhythm. Find what a buyer would pay and would question. Install the rhythm that fixes both. Run it until the trend is one a buyer will pay for.
The Sellable-Numbers Scan, 14 days.
We normalize your numbers and run the Six Trap Diagnostic™ through a buyer's eyes. You get the re-price read (what diligence would knock off your number, in dollars), the worth read (where the value expansion lives: pricing, mix, margin, concentration), and the first three moves. From $10,000, fixed. Guaranteed.
The Scan, in full →The 90-Day Decision Resolution.
The decision rhythm installed: numbers you can decide from and defend, proven on your real decisions, in market. The trailing-twelve clock starts here.
How the install works →The Exit-Value Partnership, 12 to 24 months to market.
We build the value the Scan found and the trend a buyer will pay for, with a re-valuation every quarter so you watch the number move. Our fees ride the value created, never the transaction. We are the one advisor in the deal who is not paid on the deal.
The Partnership, both faces →We put the risk on our side of the table.
The Scan identifies at least 3x its fee in owner-accepted value (recoverable cash, recoverable margin, avoided cost, or dollarized valuation exposure) inside 14 days, validated by you in writing, or you pay nothing. Typical results run 5x to 10x.
The 90-Day Resolution installs the rhythm and proves it in market, or every fee is refunded and you keep every artifact we built. We never guarantee a sale price or a multiple. We don’t control the market. We control whether a buyer can believe you.
Not selling? The same numbers are costing you every month.
Revenue’s up. Profit isn’t. And your numbers can’t tell you why. The wound is identical; only the deadline is missing.
The 14-day Decision Diagnostic runs the same engine without the buyer’s lens: which products, customers, or jobs actually make money, where the recoverable value sits, and what to do first. Same bands, same guarantee.
The filter runs both ways.
It is for you if
- You own an operating company between $5M and $50M in revenue.
- A real decision is on the table: a sale, a succession, a price, a hire, an expansion.
- You're tired of making it half-blind.
- EOS and Vistage operating companies, manufacturing, consumer products, professional services, and construction.
This is not for you if
- Under $5M in revenue. The guarantee math does not hold, so we refer out.
- You want someone to promise a sale price or find you a buyer. We do not sell companies.
- Happy deciding on instinct, or unwilling to act on the numbers.
- Shopping for bookkeeping.
Fixed before we begin. Banded to your revenue.
