Protecting your numbers when the stakes are high
When Accuracy Means Everything
- Overstated or duplicated income distorting their valuation.
- Misclassified expenses or missing records that don’t stand up to review.
- Inconsistent reporting between tax filings, balance sheets, and actual performance.
- Discrepancies that raise red flags during due diligence.
What We Do
The right data, the right story
When two businesses come together, every discrepancy becomes a potential deal-breaker.
- We ensure both sides enter the transaction with accurate, transparent data.
- Align financials between merging entities for consistent reporting.
- Identify and correct duplicate or misclassified entries that can distort valuations.
- Prepare reconciled statements that give all parties confidence in the numbers.
- Support due diligence by providing clean, verifiable records that hold up under review.
Buying or selling a business is stressful enough—uncertain numbers make it worse. We uncover the truth behind the data so you can negotiate with confidence.
- Rebuild financial files to reflect real earnings and cash flow.
- Identify red flags or hidden risks before the deal closes.
- Correct overstatements that could inflate or deflate valuation.
- Defend your financial position with clarity during buyer or seller meetings.
Audits don’t have to be panic-inducing when you’re prepared. We organize and validate your financials long before the auditor arrives, so there are no surprises.
- Conduct full pre-audit reviews to identify and fix problem areas.
- Ensure compliance with federal, state, and industry requirements.
- Organize and present supporting documentation for every major account.
- Provide ongoing support during the audit process to address questions or discrepancies quickly.
Why It Matters
Bad data costs more than bad deals
When financials aren’t accurate, deals fall apart, trust erodes, and opportunities vanish. We’ve seen business owners lose hundreds of thousands of dollars in valuation simply because the books weren’t correct. Our goal is to protect you from that.
By uncovering inaccuracies, correcting the records, and helping you communicate with confidence, we make sure your business stands on solid ground—no surprises, no regrets, no “we didn’t know.”
The Soukkala Difference
Where others see a spreadsheet, we see a story. Our team combines decades of accounting and consulting experience with the calm focus that complex transactions demand. We know how to handle sensitive information, balance confidentiality, and support both sides of the table with integrity.
We’ve helped clients uncover misstatements that changed entire negotiations—and we’ve helped others defend their value with data that holds up under pressure. That’s the kind of clarity that makes or breaks a deal.
