I’m a few years away from selling my business. When should I engage Pungello?
The best time to prepare for an exit is two to three years before you plan to sell. Buyers and lenders value clean financials, consistent reporting, predictable cash flow, and normalized EBITDA. Engaging early allows us to strengthen your financial infrastructure, improve margins, optimize tax positioning, and build the reporting discipline that increases valuation and optionality. The earlier you begin, the more control you have over the outcome.
The best accountants don’t just see columns and rows; they see the roadmap to financial triumph.
