# Bedrock Quality of Earnings

Flat-fee quality of earnings, priced in public.

A quality-of-earnings firm built for lower middle market and Main Street deals, with two published flat-fee tiers. The standard QoE is $15,000 to $30,000 over two to four weeks for deals from $1M to $30M, and the express review is $5,000 to $10,000 in five to seven business days for deals under $2M or for pre-LOI screening. Every engagement is led personally by the same CPA.

## 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](https://searchspheresource.com/glossary/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.

## What It Costs

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. Its own cost article, dated March 2026 and cited above, still quotes a $6,000 to $12,000 flat fee; the pricing page is the current statement and the higher 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

- Pro: Both tiers are priced on the firm's own page, scope by scope, which almost nobody in this lane does
- Pro: The standard scope names the things an SBA file actually needs: [add-back](https://searchspheresource.com/glossary/add-backs) validation with documentation, a [working capital peg](https://searchspheresource.com/glossary/working-capital-peg) recommendation, bank-to-book reconciliation, and a lender-ready report
- Pro: One named CPA leads every engagement, with Big Four and national-firm transaction advisory behind him
- Pro: The pricing page says plainly what is not included, legal and tax diligence, rather than implying full coverage
- Con: 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
- Con: One lead CPA is the quality control and also the capacity ceiling; ask about timing before you commit to a closing date
- Con: 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
- Con: The founders' audience overlaps heavily with the [searcher](https://searchspheresource.com/glossary/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.
