Outcome
The Situation

WAXD was a profitable mobile detailing operation, but the financial picture didn't reflect the business that actually existed. Books were behind. Records were fragmented across personal and business accounts. There was no clean way to answer the questions a sophisticated buyer would ask in diligence.

The owner wanted two things that often pull in opposite directions: keep growing the business, and get it positioned for sale.

What We Did

The Work

01

Cleaned up the books

Reconstructed historical financials with proper categorization and accrual-basis adjustments. Established a defensible record of revenue, costs, and owner discretionary expenses — the foundation everything else depends on.

02

Built financial visibility for the operator

Monthly reporting the owner could actually use to run the business. Margin by service type, route profitability, customer concentration. The same work that prepared the company for sale also helped grow it.

03

Prepared the sale package

Normalized financials with documented add-backs, a clean trailing twelve-month view, and a growth story supported by the numbers. When buyers asked questions in diligence, the answers were already in the file.

04

Supported the transaction through close

Worked through diligence requests, helped the owner respond to financial questions with confidence, and kept the deal moving when it mattered.

The Outcome

From engagement in March 2024 to exit in December 2025 — 21 months — revenue grew from $100K to $350K and the business sold. The owner exited with a clean transaction and the financial documentation to back the value they'd built.
