Earnings Quality or Deal Duality? | PRIME exits™

Foreign A Just say earnings quality in a meeting and watch heads nod like you're reciting scripture. But here's the twist. It's quietly become one of the most clever negotiation weapons in the buyer's playbook. Quality of earnings should be like an X ray of your income statement, stripping away cosmetic adjustments, but some buyers use it for Kofi Theater. Praise the business publicly, nitpick privately, then demand discounts. Sellers get your own CO fee first, anticipate adjustments and control the narrative. Just because a buyer says something should be adjusted doesn't mean it has to be whether you're buying or selling. Remember, a clean set of books deserves a clean deal, not a curtain call for discounts. Don't forget to like, subscribe and hit the bell icon to stay updated with prime exit's M&A advisory.
