The business owners who net the most aren't the ones who run the fastest sale process.
They're the ones who started preparing 3–5 years out:
→ Clean financials a buyer's lender can underwrite
→ Management depth so the business doesn't depend on one person
→ Customer concentration brought under control
→ Recurring revenue, documented systems, defensible margins
You can build all of that. But not in the 60 days between "I'm done" and listing.
If you're inside that 1–5 year window, the consult is free and the conversation is confidential.

What is the difference between audited and reviewed financials?

The primary difference between audited and reviewed financial statements comes down to the level of assurance provided by an independent Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and the extent of testing performed.

• Audited Financials (Reasonable / High Assurance): An audit is the most rigorous, comprehensive evaluation a CPA can perform. The CPA examines source documents, conducts internal control evaluations, physically verifies inventory/assets, and sends third-party confirmations (e.g., to banks or suppliers). The resulting report includes an official CPA opinion on whether the financial statements are fairly presented in accordance with GAAP.

• Reviewed Financials (Limited Assurance): A review relies primarily on management inquiries and analytical procedures (e.g., analyzing ratios, year-over-year variances, and trend relationships). The CPA does not test individual transactions, inspect physical assets, or verify balances with external third parties. The report states that the CPA is not aware of any material modifications needed for the statements to conform to GAAP.

A short note on my alphabet soup, because it matters more than most owners realize:

• M&AMI — Mergers & Acquisitions Master Intermediary
• CBI — Certified Business Intermediary
• ABI — Accredited Business Intermediary
• CVB — Certified Value Builder
• GRI — Graduate, Realtor Institute
These designations require completed transactions, continuing education, and peer review. Most business brokers hold none of them.
When you're selling the largest asset of your life, ask who's qualified to sit on your side of the table.
