when a buyer looks.
Porter cleans up your books in less than 2 weeks and keeps them current until you close, so diligence starts from numbers you can stand behind.
The problem
Paying for bookkeeping isn't the same as having your books done.
Most owners can afford a bookkeeper. The books still slip, because they are never the most urgent thing in the building. We meet owners who pay someone every month and are three months behind, and owners who leave everything until year-end. Nobody notices until a buyer's accountant asks for monthly numbers that tie to the bank and the tax returns.
What we do01 02 03
Keep it current.
A monthly close, so the numbers stay right through the letter of intent, diligence and closing.
Stay on after the sale, if you want us to.
The same team can run the books for you or for the new owner.
How long it takes. Less than 2 weeks from the day we have access to your books and your documents. We tell you exactly what we need.
What we don't do. We don't sell a quality of earnings report, and we don't certify anything. We get your books into the shape a buyer's accountant expects to find them in.
