Anchor Earnings is the exit-readiness practice of Anchor Partners. We spent our careers producing the numbers that executives, boards and buyers make decisions on. Now we do it for owners who are going to sell the business they built.
Forty plus years of combined experience in FP&A and controllership, in the trenches with CFOs and executive leadership, across private-equity-backed and publicly traded companies, from $1M to $7B in revenue.
That matters here for one specific reason. We have sat on the other side of diligence. We know which questions a buyer's team asks, which answers create doubt, and how fast a number nobody can support turns into a discount.
We do not list your company, we do not find you a buyer, and we are not paid a percentage of what you sell for. Our fee does not change based on your outcome.
A QoE is done by a transaction advisory team, and it carries weight precisely because they are independent of you. We get your numbers ready before they start the clock.
We work alongside whoever keeps your books. Nobody gets fired for bringing us in.
You will run your business for decades and sell it once. The buyer across the table has done it dozens of times, with a team whose entire job is finding reasons to pay less.
That asymmetry is the whole problem. It is not that owner-operated businesses are worth less. It is that the value is real and undocumented, and undocumented value gets discounted. Every year we watched good businesses take a haircut for reasons that were fixable two years earlier, and nobody had told the owner in time.
So we tell them in time.
