Financial Due Diligence Analyzer

Run comprehensive financial due diligence on acquisition targets, investment opportunities, or partnership prospects. Built for PE firms, corporate development teams, and founders evaluating deals.

What This Does

Generates a complete due diligence package: - Quality of Earnings (QoE) — normalize EBITDA, strip one-time items, identify recurring vs non-recurring revenue - Working Capital Analysis — NWC trends, peg calculation, seasonal adjustments - Revenue Quality — customer concentration, churn, cohort analysis, contract backlog - Debt & Liabilities — hidden obligations, off-balance-sheet items, contingent liabilities - Cash Flow Bridge — EBITDA to free cash flow conversion, capex requirements - Red Flag Scanner — 23 common deal-killers ranked by severity

How to Use

Tell your agent: "Run financial due diligence on [company/deal]"

Provide what you have: - Financial statements (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow) — even partial - Revenue breakdown by customer/product - Known deal terms (purchase price, structure)

The agent will generate a structured diligence report with findings, risks, and negotiation points.

Working Capital Peg

NWC Peg = Average of trailing 12 months normalized NWC

Normalized NWC = Current Assets (excl. cash) - Current Liabilities (excl. debt)

Adjustments:
- Remove seasonal spikes (use monthly data, not quarterly)
- Strip one-time receivables/payables
- Normalize inventory to steady-state
- Adjust for known post-close changes

If NWC at close > Peg → Seller receives difference
If NWC at close < Peg → Buyer receives difference
