Acquio is a financial modeling platform for small business acquisitions. Buyers can build deal assessments with DCF, LBO, and DSCR analysis, while brokers can automate recast generation and valuation reports from uploaded tax returns.

Most small business acquisitions get underwritten on the seller's numbers. We underwrite them the way a lender does. Led by former Big 4 (EY) and private equity (Morgan Stanley) we provide buy-side SMB Pre-LIO and QoE Lite acquisition services, along with sell-side business valuations and exit planning. NexTax Advisory is an independent transaction advisory practice serving individual buyers, searchers, small sponsors, and owners preparing to sell. We work in the $1M to $15M range, where the books are usually cash basis, the add-backs are usually optimistic, and nobody has looked at the general ledger with a buyer's eye. https://www.nextaxadvisory.com BUY-SIDE - Quality of Earnings and financial due diligence - Pre-LOI review and risk screening before you commit - Normalized SDE and EBITDA bridges, with every adjustment rated by strength of evidence - Proof of cash reconciling bank activity to the books and to IRS transcript data - Working capital analysis, debt and debt-like item schedules, and DSCR at your proposed structure SELL-SIDE - Pre-sale readiness and value optimization - Earnings normalization and diligence preparation before you go to market - Full-scope valuations and transaction scenarios for sellers with interested buyers NexTax.AI is also the company behind AcquiFlow, a deal intelligence platform that brings institutional-grade underwriting to SMB acquisition buyers.
