DealScrubber

DealScrubber contains five-year projected financial statements (balance sheets, income statements, and statements of cash flows), each of which can be viewed on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis, and can further accommodate up to five years of historical data and industry statistics. The model also considers frequently encountered GAAP, such as revenue recognition, by allowing for appropriate recognition periods for different products and services. Closing dates are not an issue, nor are the treatments of pre- and post-acquisition periods. Each financial statement line item can be as summarized or detailed as necessary, depending on its significance and relevance to the buy-sell decision. For example, comprehensive and flexible supporting schedules accurately reflect the behavior of fixed assets, debt and payroll as their underlying components and drivers change. Moreover, revenue schedules can be changed on the fly to summarize the top line by channel, market segment, customer type, product, or any other relevant dimension. DealScrubber highlights key variables and relationships by providing dynamic graphing, trending and ratio analysis. It also contains a scenario planning and analysis module, which immediately updates valuation results for changes in revenue growth rates, working capital utilization, capital expenditures, and other key drivers. Robust report writing capabilities conveniently update EBITDA multiples, returns, and other information in the valuation summary, as well as all underlying schedules for the active scenario.

The product of years of experience and applied expertise, DealScrubber is the basis for an accurate valuation. Because every situation is different, however, we’ll deliver a customized solution for the engagement in question. The combination of DealScrubber and our expertise accelerates dialogue, provides for robust scenario planning, and facilitates the integration of information across business functions — all critical aspects of the buy-sell decision.
