We apply AI-assisted financial diagnostics and structured M&A preparation frameworks to help founder-led businesses and enterprise finance teams normalize EBITDA, clean their balance sheets, and survive due diligence with confidence. Phase 1 of our diagnostic platform is live and free at ajaautomation.ai.
Buyers, investment bankers, and quality of earnings providers scrutinize financials through a different lens than your accountant. Our four-step framework addresses every area they will examine — before it becomes negotiating leverage against you.
Systematic identification and documentation of all appropriate add-backs to produce a defensible adjusted EBITDA that reflects the true earnings power of your business. Includes owner compensation adjustments, one-time expenses, and related-party transaction review.
Identification and resolution of timing differences, accrual inconsistencies, and intercompany transaction gaps between the income statement and balance sheet — across the 3-year lookback period buyers will analyze.
Reclassification of personal assets, correction of CapEx recorded as OpEx, working capital normalization, and resolution of intercompany balances before transaction close — presenting a clean balance sheet ready for buyer scrutiny.
Proactive identification of issues a buyer's QofE provider will surface — addressed before they become renegotiation points. Full organization of financial documentation for an M&A data room including adjusted EBITDA schedules and supporting workpapers.
Tell us where you are in your transaction process and what financial challenges you are facing. We will respond within one business day.
