Services

One financial partner—from monthly close to transaction.

Wolever Advisory operates where accounting, financial planning, and transactions meet. The service lines are built to connect: reliable books make credible reporting possible, credible reporting makes better decisions possible, and both make a transaction defensible.

How the work connects
  • Embedded, not remote

    The work happens inside the business — in your systems, on your calendar, with direct access to the person doing the analysis.

  • Senior attention throughout

    The person you speak with is the person doing the work. Engagements are deliberately limited so that remains true.

  • Built for what comes next

    Monthly accounting is structured with the understanding that a lender, a board, or a buyer may eventually examine it closely.

  • Plain language

    Analysis is only useful if the decision-maker can act on it. Complexity stays in the model; the conversation stays clear.

The arc of the work

One partner across the financial lifecycle.

Most firms occupy one stage of this arc. The work compounds when the same people who built the monthly close are the ones preparing the financial record for a transaction.
  1. 01

    Foundation

    Accurate books, a reliable close calendar, and a chart of accounts that reflects how the business actually runs.

  2. 02

    Visibility

    Reporting, KPIs, forecasting, and the management rhythm that turns information into decisions.

  3. 03

    Transaction readiness

    Normalized earnings, defensible schedules, an organized data room, and support through diligence to closing.

Engagement model

Three ways to work together.

Engagements are scoped to the situation. Many begin as a project and become ongoing; others stay narrow by design.

Ongoing

Recurring financial leadership and operations

A standing engagement covering the work that has to happen every month — and the senior attention that turns it into decisions.

  • Fractional CFO leadership
  • Monthly bookkeeping and close management
  • Controller-level oversight

Monthly, with a defined reporting calendar

Project-based

A defined deliverable, scope, and timeline

Discrete work with a clear endpoint — usually because a specific decision or deadline requires it.

  • Financial models and forecasts
  • KPI dashboards and reporting packages
  • Cleanup and catch-up accounting

Fixed scope, agreed in advance

Transaction-based

Support through a specific deal or process

Concentrated financial work around a transaction, from early readiness through closing.

  • Exit-readiness assessment and preparation
  • Normalized EBITDA and supporting schedules
  • Data-room preparation and diligence response

Aligned to the transaction timeline

Representative ways we help

What an engagement actually looks like.

These are engagement types rather than case studies. They describe the shape of the work — not client identities, terms, or outcomes.
Ongoing

Standing up a monthly rhythm

A multi-location operator with current but unstructured books. The work establishes a close calendar, rebuilds the chart of accounts for location-level reporting, and introduces a monthly review of results against forecast.

Project

Building the first real forecast

A growth-stage company with a hiring plan and no integrated model. The engagement delivers a three-statement forecast driven by real operating inputs, plus scenario cases and a documented update procedure.

Transaction

Preparing a company for diligence

An owner two years from a potential sale. The work identifies what a buyer's quality-of-earnings team will question, builds normalized earnings with support, and sequences the cleanup before a process begins.

Transaction

Evaluating an acquisition

A buyer under a signed letter of intent. The engagement covers financial diligence, working-capital analysis, and a return model across purchase-price and financing scenarios ahead of a commitment.

Project

Preparing for a lender conversation

A company approaching a refinancing. The work sizes debt capacity and coverage under base and downside cases, then assembles the historical and projected package a credit committee expects.

Ongoing

Rebuilding after fast growth

A company that added entities faster than its reporting could absorb. The engagement restructures consolidation, cleans historical treatment, and establishes controller-level review over the monthly close.

These descriptions are illustrative engagement types. They do not reference specific clients, transactions, terms, or results.

Not sure which service line fits?

Most conversations start with a description of the situation rather than a service name. The scope becomes obvious quickly.
