The Provafi Team
Your transaction advisory professionals
Our story
Provafi started with a pattern Matt kept seeing while supporting diligence on deals from searcher acquisitions to lower middle market buyouts. Quality of Earnings scopes varied widely, with very different outputs and takeaways for the clients who relied on them. Some reports were so limited that they left buyers exposed to real risk. Others carried fees built for much larger transactions, with no attempt to match the work to what the deal needed.
Provafi was built to right-size that work: a fixed-scope, fixed-fee QoE prepared and reviewed by people who have done this at larger firms, priced for deals under $10 million. Buyers get a defensible earnings number, sellers get a clean databook that holds up under review, and lenders get a report they can underwrite to.
