#45: Transaction Advisory & Quality of Earnings with Tony Oman and Brett Olsen

To close out this season of Q&A Over Coffee, host Adam Hennen is joined by Audit Principal Brett Olson and Valuation Principal Tony Oman for a practical discussion on Transaction Advisory Services (TAS) and Quality of Earnings (QoE). Together, they walk through the M&A process from both the buyer’s and seller’s perspectives, explaining how valuation, financial diligence, adjusted EBITDA, and working capital impact deal structure and outcomes. The conversation highlights common pitfalls uncovered during due diligence, the importance of early preparation, and why a well-executed QoE can be a critical investment in maximizing value and reducing risk in a transaction.
