For Roll-Up Investors
Financial Infrastructure That Scales with Every Deal
One firm owns the numbers from pre-LOI through exit. Built for operators doing 10+ acquisitions a year.
The Problem
The wall every roll-up hits.
Week 1
of every month lost to consolidation
The problem
Each acquired firm comes in on a different accounting system with different fiscal calendars and different expense classifications. One firm books contractor payments as cost of revenue, another as operating expenses. Your CFO spends the first week of every month making the numbers speak the same language.
How we fix it
Our platform normalizes all of it into a single consolidated view. Every number drills down to the original entry in the original entity. The manual reconciliation work goes away because the data was structured correctly when each entity was onboarded.
How It Works
Each acquisition gets easier,
not harder.
1
Connect to Any Source
We pull the full general ledger from any system: QuickBooks, Xero, Sage, NetSuite, or flat file exports.
Not a trial balance summary, but transaction-level data with source document links.
Every line traces back to its origin: the invoice, the bank statement, the contract.
2
Verify Every Transaction
Every GL line reconciled against source data. Revenue rebuilt automatically. No sampling, no shortcuts. AI flags anomalies across 280 adjustment categories: revenue recognition patterns, related-party transactions, expense misclassification, timing issues.
Our CPAs review every flag and make the judgment call. The system shows its work on every single line.
3
CPA-Led Judgment Calls
Senior accountants make the adjustment calls, run management conversations and translate findings into deal terms. Each finding maps directly to its SPA/EPA implication with buyer-friendly positions and negotiation guidance.
Software handles extraction, normalization and verification. CPAs spend their time on what actually requires an accountant's brain.
4
AI Intelligence Layer
Every deal gets its own AI that searches all source data. The Roll-Up Brain compares metrics, deal terms and integration progress across your entire portfolio in real time.
COA remapping to your platform standard happens during diligence, not after. Standard outputs that feed directly into your consolidated view.
“Daneel gave us Big 4 quality work at a fraction of the cost and in a fraction of the time. Their analysis turns an opinionated NWC peg into a structured, defensible methodology that lands much better with target companies.”
FAQ
Questions We Hear Most
Regional firms treat each deal as an isolated engagement. They hand you a PDF and move on. Nobody is responsible for making those numbers interoperable across your portfolio. With us, the acquisition work flows directly into your consolidated platform. The integration cost is essentially zero because the data was structured correctly from day one.
That's what we're built for. Fixed-scope QoE modules with standard intake and standard outputs turn add-ons from bespoke projects into a repeatable pipeline. Five to seven business days per deal, full scope. The system gets faster with each deal because it learns your platform's classification logic and preferences.
A traditional QoE spends four of its six weeks on data extraction, re-keying, and normalization. We do that in hours. The remaining time, experienced accountants analyzing data, making judgment calls, writing up findings, takes the same amount of time it always has. A six-week engagement that samples 5% of the GL is doing less analysis than a seven-day engagement that examines 100%.
Every single line. On a typical target, that might be 50,000 to 200,000 GL entries. A legacy firm samples maybe 2,000 to 5,000. We process all of them. On a recent deal, we caught a revenue recognition pattern buried across 8,000 GL entries that changed adjusted EBITDA by almost 15%. The previous QoE provider missed it because it was outside their sample.
QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, Xero, Sage, NetSuite, legacy local installs. Five different systems, five different charts of accounts, five different fiscal calendars. The platform normalizes all of it into a single consolidated view.
The system analyzes the chart of accounts across all your entities and proposes a unified mapping to your platform's standard structure. A target that books contractor costs as "professional services" under opex gets mapped to what your platform calls "direct labor" under cost of revenue. An accountant reviews and approves. On service firms, we see 80% to 85% auto-mapped with high confidence. The remaining 15% to 20% get flagged for human review.
Instead of pulling up five different QBO instances to track down a variance, every number in the consolidation drills down to the original entry in the original entity without leaving the platform. Full audit trail from the consolidated number all the way to the source document. The manual reconciliation work goes away because the data was structured correctly when each entity was onboarded.
Somewhere between 10 and 20 acquisitions, the financial complexity overwhelms the team's capacity to manage it manually. The traditional solution is to hire more accountants, which is getting harder every year because the profession is shrinking. The platforms that build financial infrastructure that scales with acquisition pace rather than headcount have a structural advantage that compounds with every deal.
Think about it from the buyer's perspective. You're acquiring a 20-entity platform. Would you rather inherit a consolidated GL that traces every number across every entity back to its source document, or a stack of PDFs from six different QoE firms and Excel files held together with VLOOKUP formulas? Clean, traceable, consolidated financials are an exit multiple enhancer.
A per-deal fee for new acquisitions covers the full QoE and integration into the platform, generally 40% to 60% below what you'd pay a Big Four firm, comparable to regional firms. But the real difference is that with a regional firm, your CFO spends weeks integrating QoE output into your consolidated view. With us, the integration cost is zero. Start with one deal or one existing entity, see how it works on your data, and decide on the rest.
