Does your system tell you what your business is worth?

Most owners learn what their company is worth when someone else tells them: a buyer, a lender, or an estate attorney. Our platform builds a valuation from your own closed books, so you know first.

SIDE BY SIDE

What your software does, and what we add

You keep the accounting software you use today. The platform works from its standard reports.

TYPICAL ACCOUNTING SOFTWARE

  • Records revenue, expenses, assets, and liabilities
  • No valuation of the business
  • No normalization of owner add-backs or one-time items

THE BRADLEY & COMPANY PLATFORM

  • Normalized earnings, with every add-back tied to its source document
  • Four methods: discounted cash flow (mid-year convention), capitalized cash flow, market multiples with their source and date, and adjusted net assets
  • A weighted conclusion, a football-field chart of the range, and a 5 × 5 sensitivity grid
HOW IT WORKS
1

We start from your trailing results and identify the add-backs: owner pay above market, one-time costs, related-party terms.

2

Each add-back is linked to its source, so anyone reviewing the number can trace it.

3

The four methods run from the same normalized figures, and the weighted conclusion shows how much each method contributes.

WHY IT MATTERS
What is your business worth this month?

Exit planning, buy-sell agreements, estate planning, and lending all start with value. Having it from your own books means you walk into those conversations with a number you understand.

This is a management estimate for planning, lending, and ownership conversations. It is not a certified appraisal and does not replace one where a sale, tax filing, or court requires it.

Comparisons describe the standard features of widely used small-business accounting software, as published by their makers in October 2026. Those products change often; we review this page every quarter.
