FREQUENTLY ASKED

Frequently asked questions about M&A and financial due diligence.

  • How does Validis support quality of earnings (QoE) work?

    Validis connects to any accounting system and pulls multi-period, transaction-level data directly from the target: GL, trial balance, AR, AP, journal entries and subledger detail. Standardized once across all periods, it's ready for EBITDA normalization, working capital analysis and revenue testing. Use the Excel add-in to bring data into your deal model.

  • What is EBITDA normalization in financial due diligence?

    EBITDA normalization adjusts reported earnings to reflect the ongoing operating performance of the business, removing one-time items, owner-related expenses, accounting reclassifications and other non-recurring charges. Validis provides the transaction-level detail to identify and quantify those adjustments consistently, and to support the wider assurance testing and sampling that diligence depends on.

  • Can Validis produce an M&A-ready deal book or outputs that match our current format?

    Yes. It's one of the first things deal teams test. Validis delivers standardized data in your existing format, whether that's a single data book, separate schedules, or Excel files built to your own template. Less rework, not a new way of working.

  • How quickly can my client connect to Validis?

    Clients have the option to use a gold standard connector or upload a report extract. Most connectors complete in under 90 seconds, reports in 2 minutes. When using a connector your client authorizes access to their accounting system once. Access is time-bound and permissioned to the deal team only.

  • Is the connection secure for sensitive deal data?

    Yes. Validis is SOC 2 Type II audited and ISO 27001 certified. Connections are read-only and time-limited. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Access is permissioned to named deal-team members and revoked at the end of the engagement. Data is never used to train AI models.
