When a deal is on the table, each figure carries its source

Ahead of a sale or an acquisition, Vann ties the books to the bank statements and tax returns you supply, before the deal moves. You get adjusted EBITDA with each add-back sourced, red flags with the source account attached, and the questions a buyer's team is likely to ask, while there's still time to deal with them.

What the work covers

Vann builds it from the target's own trial balance, so a reviewer can accept or reject any single line without unpicking the rest.

Earnings and cash

Month-end ledger cash tied to each bank statement balance, by account. When bank statements are supplied, with every difference outside tolerance listed beside both figures.
Books to the tax return. Book revenue, deductions, officer compensation and net income against each return, by tax year, when the returns as filed are supplied.
Reported to adjusted EBITDA. Each add-back on its own row, with the account it came from and the rule that decided it.
Add-backs you reject come out cleanly. The schedule still foots without them.

Findings and questions

Red flags. Each one with its source account attached.
The likely questions. What a buyer's team will probably ask, each tied to the finding that raised it.
Judgment items, evidenced. Owner compensation is the clearest case. It arrives identified and evidenced, ready for you to size with your own comparables.

The seller's own books, tied out before diligence starts

For owners heading toward a sale who want their own books tied to bank statements and tax returns, as the seller's internal work, before a buyer's diligence starts.

Before the process

The seller's own books, tied to bank statements and tax returns and set against what buy-side diligence teams typically test, showing where the reporting will draw questions. It is the seller's internal work, done before a buyer's diligence starts, so the seller sees the hard questions first and answers them on their own schedule.
