Negotiate Your Value with Confidence
You’ve spent time building a successful company. But without preparing a business for sale, all the work you put into selling it can fall apart due to undisclosed issues that arise during due diligence before the deal closes.
Sell-side advisory helps you avoid pitfalls that can waste your team’s time and kill a deal quickly. Plus, it ensures you maximize value from the sale.

Sell-Side Support for Any Industry, Even Complex Ones
Massive upfront R&D and infrastructure costs complicated by usage-based pricing models makes accounting for AI companies a challenge. Plus, your accounting needs to align with intricate and quickly-evolving standards for data valuation and intellectual property, all of which don’t fit into traditional financial frameworks.
Centri has been a go-to partner for complicated industries since its inception. We offer a unique strategic perspective as a firm with experience not only in outsourced accounting but also in advisory across the full business lifecycle. We know what it takes to help startups be both compliant and scalable. Powered by Centri can give you both transactional support and strategic support, making sure your day-to-day accounting also supports your larger business goals.
Value creation and exit planning are key to seeing a good return from your portfolio companies. Centri’s sell-side advisory helps PE companies ensure their deal positioning is backed up by the right data and due diligence. Our goal is to help you get the best possible rate of return as you get ready to sell.
Within technology, any potential buyer will require a lot of due diligence to ensure your asking price is defended with institutional-grade data. Working with a partner like Centri allows you to tap into our expertise in helping other tech companies like yours navigate preparing a business for sale. Our team can help your company find the strongest positioning to help reduce the risk of a buy re-trading the price down later.
The Hidden Costs of Not Preparing Your Business for Sale
- Messy financials are obscuring the true value and leading to a reduced sale price.
- Inaccurate valuations prolong the sale process and inflate your costs.
- Poor EBITDA adjustments are multiplying and costing you more at closing.
- Unrecorded liabilities or due diligence problems that lead to the deal collapsing.
- Unexpected taxes and fees aren’t accounted for initially by your team.
- Burnout and turnover from increased pressure on your internal team.
