Recommendations for vendors for self-funded QofE

Hello,

Curious to hear what folks have done for QofE diligence during self-funded searches. Any recommendations of good individuals/firms who can do high-quality work cost-effectively? 

Thank you,
Justin

There are many options for this but I would strongly consider a partner who can continue to help you in the future with other work.Personally I used a local accounting firm who was well regarding in my target's metro area.I used them for the due diligence and now some post-dealaccounting and tax work.The nice thing is you don't have to re-educate them on the deal.A local firm would also have a great network that may come in handy for your next acquisition or expansion plans.Also, with any firm, get a solid understanding of the deliverable and review sample work (e.g. excel files).Some companies are more thorough than others.Good luck.
