How is a QoT different from a Quality of Earnings report?

While a QoE focuses on financial validation, a QoT focuses on technology validation. We assess IT infrastructure, cybersecurity, compliance, software, and personnel to identify technology risks, validate technology-related claims, and estimate post-acquisition IT costs—critical inputs that complement financial due diligence.

Do you work with companies outside North Carolina?

Yes. While we are based in North Carolina with deep expertise in the Southeast, we provide QoT services nationwide. Most of our assessment work can be conducted remotely, with on-site visits scheduled as needed based on the transaction requirements.

Can you expedite the timeline for urgent transactions?

Absolutely. We understand M&A timelines are often compressed. Our standard 2-3 week timeline can be expedited with additional resources dedicated to your engagement. Contact us to discuss your specific deadline requirements.

What size companies do you typically assess?

We work across a broad range of company sizes, from small businesses ($5M+ revenue) to mid-market enterprises ($100M+ revenue). Our 37 years of experience across multiple industries allows us to scale our assessment approach appropriately.

Do you offer post-transaction support?

Yes. Beyond the QoT report, we can assist with post-acquisition IT integration planning, cybersecurity remediation, compliance improvements, and ongoing managed IT services to ensure smooth technology transitions and continuous improvement.
