Bedrock Quality of Earnings
At a Glance
Put it in the quote set on any deal under $30M, and reach for the express tier when you want a paid opinion before the LOI rather than after it. The published fee is the reason to call; the 2026 founding date is the reason to ask who else has used it on a deal like yours.
- Pricing
- One-Time, Published on the firm's own pricing page (August 2026): standard Quality of Earnings $15,000 to $30,000, two to four week turnaround, deals $1M to $30M; Express Review $5,000 to $10,000, five to seven business days, deals under $2M or pre-LOI. Payment is 50 percent deposit with the balance on delivery. Note that an older cost article on the same site still quotes a $6,000 to $12,000 flat fee; the pricing page is the current statement and the newer figure is the one to budget against.
- Best For
- A buyer who wants the whole fee agreed before any work starts, and one who wants a cheap pre-LOI read on a deal under $2M before committing to a full report

Pros and Cons
Pros
- Both tiers are priced on the firm's own page, scope by scope, which almost nobody in this lane does
- The standard scope names the things an SBA file actually needs: add-back validation with documentation, a working capital peg recommendation, bank-to-book reconciliation, and a lender-ready report
- One named CPA leads every engagement, with Big Four and national-firm transaction advisory behind him
- The pricing page says plainly what is not included, legal and tax diligence, rather than implying full coverage
Cons
- Founded in 2026, so there is no long track record to check and no settled practitioner account of how it handles a messy set of books
- One lead CPA is the quality control and also the capacity ceiling; ask about timing before you commit to a closing date
- Deal-size ceiling is stated two ways on the site, $40M in the header and $30M on the standard tier, so confirm the range for your deal
- The founders' audience overlaps heavily with the searcher community, so community mentions are not independent of the firm's own reach
What Searchers Say
The firm is new, and what stands behind it is the founders rather than a deal record: it was founded by two people with long-standing footprints in the small-business acquisition community, with a career transaction-advisory CPA running the work. Treat the published fees as the strongest verifiable signal and the track record as the open question.
